SAN JOSE, Calif. – September 04, 2026 -- Mixx Technologies, Inc. has launched the SxCTM Connector, an optical connector capable of terminating up to 24,576 fibers in a single rack unit, a density the company says is four times greater than MMC-VSFF, the highest-density connector platform currently qualified for deployment.

Connector density becomes the bottleneck for co-packaged optics deployment

Mixx, a venture-backed deep-tech firm building co-packaged optics (CPO) for hyperscale AI infrastructure, said existing connector families cannot support the fiber density that next-generation inference workloads require. A 400T switch brings thousands of fibers out of a single box, exceeding what pluggable transceivers can support at the front panel. Mixture-of-experts and agentic AI workloads demand high radix — the number of endpoints a single node can reach — to minimize latency and reduce switching layers, transceivers, and cables.

Arlington – September 04, 2026 -- Some 72.5% of organizations are currently invested in data management solutions and plan to increase that spending, yet many governance programs remain fragmented and produce activity without measurable impact, according to Info-Tech Research Group.

Governance priority tops both AI and non-AI data agendas

Info-Tech's Future of IT 2026 Survey found that improving data governance ranked as the leading data priority for supporting AI goals, cited by 30% of respondents, and outside AI, cited by 40%. The research group says this points to a disconnect between heavy investment in management solutions and unresolved governance decisions needed to guide them.

Dallas – September 04, 2026 -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) reported a net loss of US$81.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, driven primarily by non-cash impairment and disposal charges on its Bitcoin mining fleet, as the company accelerates a pivot toward AI compute infrastructure.

Revenue halves as company right-sizes mining fleet

Total revenue fell approximately 50% sequentially to US$50.8 million, with US$47.4 million derived from Bitcoin mining and US$3.4 million from other sources. The decline stemmed from Cango's decision to phase out older S19-series mining machines and shift some capacity to a hosted leasing model, a move management said improved operating costs and cash flow despite the top-line hit.

San Jose, Calif. – September 04, 2026 -- SiMa.ai and ARK Electronics have launched the ARK-SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC Bundles, a production-ready hardware-software package aimed at cutting development time for autonomous drones used in defense, agriculture, and commercial operations.

Joint platform pairs SiMa.ai compute with ARK Electronics drone hardware

The bundles combine SiMa.ai's Modalix System-on-Module, built on its Modalix MLSoC, with Palette Neat, an agentic development environment the company says compresses AI development timelines from months to days. ARK Electronics, a Salt Lake City-based maker of made-in-the-USA, NDAA-compliant, Blue UAS-listed flight controllers and embedded computers, built and validated the joint solution for the drone ecosystem.

WASHINGTON – September 04, 2026 -- Greenberg Traurig, LLP has added Rose Schlichtmann-Prince as a shareholder in its Washington, D.C., and Miami offices, expanding its Digital Infrastructure Group as investment in data centers and fiber networks accelerates.

Former Meta Platforms counsel brings decade of network infrastructure experience

Schlichtmann-Prince joins after nearly ten years as in-house counsel at Meta Platforms, Inc., where she advised on network infrastructure investments and strategic initiatives supporting the company's global digital infrastructure platform. She previously held legal and business roles at Verizon Communications, Cable & Wireless Communications, and Sprint, bringing more than 15 years of combined private practice, in-house, and business operations experience.

New Haven, Conn. – September 04, 2026 -- Wellinks, a virtual-first cardiopulmonary care company, has appointed Andrew Agwunobi, MD, MBA, and Mike Waters to its Board of Directors while adding three vice presidents to its management team, the company said.

Former Teladoc COO Mike Waters joins Wellinks board with digital health portfolio

Waters, who spent more than two decades in strategic operations and previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Teladoc Health, also brings 15-plus years from Providence Health, where he was Executive Vice President and Chief Executive of its Ambulatory Care Network. He currently holds board roles across six digital health companies, including Chair positions at Ieso and Brook Health.

INDIANAPOLIS – September 03, 2026 -- Eli Lilly and Company reported that combining Taltz (ixekizumab) with Zepbound (tirzepatide) sustained or deepened efficacy at 52 weeks in patients with psoriatic disease and obesity, building on statistically superior results already seen at Week 36 versus Taltz alone.

Combination therapy nearly triples complete skin clearance response rates

In the TOGETHER-PsO trial, 30.6% of patients on the combination achieved PASI 100 plus at least 10% weight loss at Week 52, compared with 4.4% on Taltz monotherapy. Complete skin clearance alone (PASI 100) was maintained by 40.5% of combination patients versus 29.1% on monotherapy.

Riyadh – September 03, 2026 -- AMD Instinct MI355X GPU-based AI infrastructure, networked on Cisco Silicon One technology, is now live in Saudi Arabia and serving HUMAIN customers in the Kingdom and beyond.

Production system pairs AMD Instinct GPUs with Cisco's AI-optimized network fabric

The deployment combines AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and AMD EPYC CPUs with Cisco's N9000 Series platform, built on Cisco Silicon One and 800G optics. The fabric is designed for scale, low latency and operational resilience, allowing HUMAIN to offer GPU-as-a-service for both model training and inferencing.

Companies plan up to 250 MW of new capacity starting in 2027

AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN plan to add up to 250 MW of AI infrastructure powered by AMD Instinct MI400 Series GPUs, AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD ROCm open software, alongside Cisco networking. Deployment is scheduled to begin in 2027, with capacity coming online in the second half of that year.

San Francisco – September 03, 2026 -- Outmarket AI has launched an expanded Employee Benefits module designed to automate the full administrative workflow cycle for insurance brokerages, converting raw carrier documents, census files, and bills into structured, ready-to-use outputs.

Platform extracts data from carrier documents to eliminate manual VLOOKUPs and hand-formatting

The AI-native module allows agents to upload plan documents in any format—PDF, Word, or Excel—from any carrier to automatically build side-by-side plan comparisons covering medical, vision, dental, ancillary, and Rx tiers. Brokers can feed plan documents from up to 10 carriers alongside a census file to generate cost comparisons, run contribution scenarios, and calculate affordability.

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – September 03, 2026 -- KuCoin has partnered with FinChain to integrate the yield-bearing stablecoin FUSD into its RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS), allowing institutional clients to use custodied real-world assets as trading collateral without selling or transferring them to the exchange.

RCMS lets institutions map custodied FUSD value directly to KuCoin trading accounts

Under the arrangement, FUSD's eligible collateral value is assessed within a designated custody framework and mapped to relevant KuCoin trading accounts under platform rules. Institutional users retain existing custody and yield arrangements while tapping KuCoin's liquidity, trade execution, risk controls and position management to deploy capital.
