Shanghai – September 28, 2026 -- The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY) said its mobile simulation title "The Greed of Man《大時代》" reached No. 1 in the Simulation Games category on both the Hong Kong Apple App Store and Google Play following its September 24, 2026 launch.

Game built in eight months versus industry-standard two to three years

The title was produced on the9bit, The9's proprietary AI game production platform that orchestrates multiple AI models across development rather than relying on a single foundation model. The platform converts a natural-language or image-based idea into a structured production blueprint, then coordinates content generation, debugging, asset creation and integration across the pipeline. An AI-native editing environment allows creators to refine gameplay elements, parameters and visuals through further natural-language instructions.

Stockholm – – September 28, 2026 -- More than half of senior enterprise leaders, 58%, have delayed, scaled back or added safeguards to strategic initiatives over the past two years due to concerns about their network provider, according to a new report from Arelion.

The Stockholm-based connectivity firm commissioned research firm Savanta to survey 518 senior enterprise network decision-makers across the US, UK, Germany and France, all from organizations with more than 2,000 employees. The findings appear in Arelion's report, 'The trust illusion: Why AI and digital transformation need more than a reliable network.'

Warrenville, Ill. – September 28, 2026 -- Aglocell, Inc. has delivered a Tier-1 U.S. wireless carrier one terabyte of additional daily network capacity through software alone, avoiding an estimated $2.6 million in hardware costs across a single metro deployment.

SpectraMax software lifted peak-hour capacity by 4.1% across 60-plus cell sites

In a live trial spanning more than 60 sites in a major U.S. metropolitan area, Aglocell's SpectraMax platform increased network-wide capacity by 4.1% during peak busy hour, equal to roughly one terabyte of additional data throughput. The company says the gain matches one-third of a full new spectrum layer, a physical buildout that typically costs carriers $43,000 per cell site, or nearly $2.6 million across the tested sites.

New York – September 28, 2026 -- Salute, a member of the NVIDIA Partner Network, has secured customers to support more than 20 gigawatts of AI infrastructure capacity globally, achieving the milestone in less than 12 months since joining the network.

Dallas – September 28, 2026 -- TrendAI, the AI security business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), announced support for the NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform, combining hardware-level detection on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs with Zero Day Initiative threat intelligence to help enterprises move autonomous agent fleets from pilot programs into production.

NVIDIA's Agent Safety Platform Enforces Policy Through BlueField-4 DPUs Outside the Agent's Reach

NVIDIA's OpenShell component enforces policy outside an agent's execution environment, preventing it from being prompted away or bypassed, while BlueField-4 DPUs and NVIDIA DOCA add a security layer in silicon that operates independently of the host system. TrendAI positions its platform as the layer that determines what that enforced policy should be, providing visibility into agent behavior and the threat detection needed to act on it.

ZURICH – – September 28, 2026 -- A UK family would need 83 hours, or 10.4 eight-hour working days, to read all the privacy and terms documents tied to one ordinary day of digital activity, a new Web3 Foundation White Paper finds.

Modelled household scenario totals 257 documents and 1,184,835 words

The figure exceeds the 884,647 words in William Shakespeare's complete works by 34%. Researchers mapped six model households across the UK and US, identifying 1,195 relevant consumer privacy and terms documents totaling more than 5.38 million words across 143 companies and institutions.
