XXKK today announced the successful deployment of a newly implemented modular and decoupled system architecture designed to enhance platform scalability, operational resilience, and performance during periods of elevated market activity. The infrastructure deployment is part of XXKK’s broader focus on responsible platform operations and long-term system reliability. The company noted that further platform enhancements will build upon the modular framework now in place.

The infrastructure upgrade represents a completed phase in XXKK’s platform modernization roadmap and replaces elements of the exchange’s previously more tightly coupled system design. The new architecture is now live across core trading operations and is structured to support higher transaction volumes while reducing systemic risk during localized disruptions.

According to the company, the deployment strengthens the platform’s ability to maintain stability under volatile market conditions by separating core operational components and introducing layered processing for order execution and system workloads.

Modular Architecture and Layered Processing Now Live

The upgraded infrastructure introduces a multi-layer system design that processes trading activity across distinct operational layers. This approach allows trading functions such as order handling, execution logic, and supporting services to operate independently while remaining synchronized through defined interfaces.

By distributing workloads across multiple layers, the platform is able to process user activity more efficiently and reduce performance bottlenecks during peak trading periods.

Component Decoupling Improves Fault Isolation

As part of the deployment, XXKK implemented a decoupled component model that allows critical systems — such as order processing modules — to operate in isolation. This design limits the impact of localized technical issues and helps prevent isolated disruptions from affecting broader platform availability.

The company stated that this structural change improves system reliability and enhances operational continuity across regional and market-specific load variations.

Designed for Stability During Market Volatility

The new architecture is designed to maintain platform availability during periods of sudden trading volume spikes or elevated market volatility. By isolating system components and distributing processing loads, the exchange can absorb unexpected stress without triggering platform-wide interruptions.

These resilience measures are intended to support consistent trading access for users during fast-moving market conditions.

Infrastructure Built for Measured Scalability

XXKK said the deployment establishes a foundation for future capacity expansion by introducing clearly defined operational boundaries and modular system components. This structure allows additional infrastructure capacity to be added incrementally without disrupting existing trading operations.

“Scalable and resilient exchange infrastructure is the result of deliberate, completed design decisions — not abstract principles,” said Emmalyn, a representative of the XXKK crypto exchange. “This deployment reflects a concrete step in strengthening platform stability while preparing the system to support sustained growth.”

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the people and principles behind The Graham Group of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. Led by Tracy Graham, the team serves buyers and homeowners across Dallas-area ZIP codes 75071 and 75078, bringing a collaborative, service-driven approach to the Dallas–Fort Worth luxury market.

The Graham Group has built strong momentum through a focus on preparation, presentation, and elevated client experience. In 2025, the team achieved its highest sales volume to date, marking a period of significant growth in a challenging market. Among its most notable accomplishments was the sale of 32 Devonstone Place, a milestone listing that closed in just two months despite broader market headwinds.

That success was driven by a thoughtful, hands-on strategy. The home was professionally staged to highlight its strengths, and the team hosted a neighborhood happy hour to generate organic interest and community engagement. The result was strong visibility, timely buyer activity, and a successful outcome that reflected both market insight and creative execution.

The Graham Group’s work has earned consistent industry recognition, including placement in the Briggs Freeman Leaders Circle, D Magazine Top Agent honors, and recognition as a Real Producers Top Agent. These distinctions reflect not only performance, but a sustained commitment to professionalism, innovation, and client advocacy.

“Our focus has always been on creating an experience that feels seamless and intentional for our clients,” said Tracy Graham. “From how a home is positioned to how buyers are introduced to it, every detail matters. Unlisted gives us another way to extend that philosophy and reach clients in a more thoughtful way.”

That alignment with Unlisted’s mission was a natural fit. The platform uses publicly available data to create a digital property profile for every home in the country, allowing buyers to explore opportunities beyond traditional listings and homeowners to better understand interest over time. By encouraging earlier, more informed conversations, Unlisted supports a more intentional real estate journey.

As the Graham Group continues to scale its presence in the luxury market, its priorities remain clear. The team is focused on elevating exposure, refining innovative marketing strategies, and delivering concierge-level service that reflects each client’s goals. Growth is approached deliberately, with an emphasis on quality, trust, and long-term relationships.

“The Graham Group exemplifies what we look for in our partners,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Their commitment to client experience, thoughtful marketing, and consistent results makes them a valuable resource for buyers and homeowners in their market.”

Through collaboration, creativity, and disciplined execution, The Graham Group continues to build a reputation defined by results and relationships, positioning clients confidently in every stage of the real estate journey.

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the leadership and personal approach behind Daniel Heider of The HEIDER Company at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who serves buyers and homeowners across Washington, D.C.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential advisors in the Washington metropolitan luxury market, Heider has delivered one of the most significant performance periods in the Capital Region’s history. Over the past twelve months, The HEIDER Company surpassed $500 million in closed and under-contract volume with a team of just five sales advisors, a level of execution that reflects both precision and scale.

During this period, The HEIDER Company commanded 100 percent market share for all residential transactions at or above $20 million in Washington, D.C., reinforcing its role as the definitive advisor at the very top of the market. Across the broader Capital Region, the practice sold or placed under contract more than ten properties exceeding $10 million within a single year, an extraordinary concentration of activity in a market that typically sees only a handful of such transactions annually.

A defining example of this leadership was the sale of 6501 Bright Mountain Road in McLean, Virginia, the most significant residential transaction in the Mid-Atlantic in four years. The $27.5 million sale marked the highest non-riverfront price ever achieved in McLean and stood as the Capital Region’s top residential sale of 2025. Yet, as notable as any single address may be, it is the broader pattern that defines the practice. Increasingly, the region’s highest-profile residential transactions share one common thread: The HEIDER Company.

Central to this success is HEIDER Private, the firm’s purpose-built platform for discreet, off-market transactions. Over the past year alone, the platform facilitated more than $208 million in private sales, offering clients controlled access, strategic positioning, and outcomes achieved beyond public view. The approach reflects a belief that discretion, timing, and intelligence are often as valuable as exposure.

Beyond transactional results, Heider is recognized as a visionary in modern real estate representation. An early adopter of social media, he has built the world’s most followed residential real estate practice, with more than 4.5 million followers across platforms, including the number one real estate presence on YouTube and TikTok. This reach is leveraged not for visibility alone, but as a proprietary advantage for clients whose assets demand precision, global scale, and disciplined execution.

The HEIDER Company’s performance has been recognized across the industry. Daniel Heider was ranked the number one agent in the DC Metro area from Q1 through Q4 of 2025 by DC Metro Real Producers, while The HEIDER Company was named the number one team by sales volume at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty for the sixth consecutive year. Nationally and globally, the practice ranks as the second-highest performing Sotheby’s team worldwide across all team sizes and the fifth-ranked medium-sized team in the United States. Heider himself has been named a Sotheby’s International Realty Top 100 Agent for four consecutive years and was recognized as the youngest Executive Vice President in TTR Sotheby’s International Realty history.

Despite the scale of results, Heider’s philosophy remains grounded in discipline, preparation, and accountability. Performance is engineered through strategy, data, and control, not improvisation. Each decision is guided by an understanding that at the highest levels of residential real estate, outcomes are the only true measure.

“Daniel brings clarity, confidence, and an extraordinary level of execution to everything he does,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “His forward-thinking approach and commitment to excellence make him a powerful partner within our network and an invaluable resource for buyers and homeowners in Washington, D.C.”

Looking ahead, The HEIDER Company remains focused on elevating an already exacting standard. Built on collaboration across marketing, sales, and operations, the practice continues to shape the market rather than follow it, guided by thoughtful innovation, data-driven strategy, and a disciplined approach to modern luxury representation.

At the core of the work is a simple belief: there is no place like home. Whether a historic estate, a modern city residence, or a private retreat, each property is represented with the gravity it deserves, and each client is guided with confidence through the most complex decisions.

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the personal approach and market leadership behind Beth Dickerson, one of Boston’s most accomplished luxury real estate advisors with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. Dickerson serves buyers and homeowners throughout Boston’s 02116 ZIP code, encompassing the historic Back Bay neighborhood.

With nearly three decades dedicated to Boston’s luxury real estate market, Dickerson has built a career defined by trust, discretion, and long-term client relationships. Her record includes more than $3 billion in career sales, membership in the prestigious Billionaire Club, and representation of more than 3,000 properties across Boston’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

In the past year alone, Dickerson achieved several landmark milestones. She closed the most expensive single-family home ever sold in Beacon Hill at $14.5 million, sold a Back Bay brownstone condominium at nearly $20 million, achieving the highest price per square foot for its category at $4,500, and doubled her annual sales volume from 2024 to 2025 to $160 million. She is consistently ranked among Sotheby’s International Realty’s Top 100 Advisors worldwide and has appeared in the RealTrends Top 250 for many consecutive years, including multiple appearances in the Top 100.

Despite these achievements, Dickerson’s approach remains deeply personal. She is known for a negotiation style grounded in honesty, patience, and clarity. Rather than creating pressure, she prioritizes trust, encouraging clients to take the time they need to feel confident in their decisions.

“I never want a client to feel like this is the only home or the only moment,” said Dickerson. “If there are second thoughts, that’s okay. Patience often leads to better outcomes, and my role is to protect my clients, not rush them.”

Her philosophy aligns closely with Unlisted’s mission to bring more transparency and intention to the real estate experience. The platform uses publicly available data to create a digital profile for every home in the country, allowing buyers to explore opportunities beyond traditional listings and homeowners to better understand interest in their property over time.

Dickerson’s business continues to evolve alongside the market. She remains focused on scaling thoughtfully, staying highly organized, and working with clients who value professionalism, loyalty, and long-term partnership. She has also embraced social media as a key part of her marketing strategy, leveraging Instagram in particular to connect with buyers, showcase properties, and generate meaningful engagement.

“Beth represents the very best of what real estate can be,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Her integrity, market leadership, and ability to put clients at ease are exactly what our platform is built to support. She brings experience and humanity together in a way that truly stands out.”

As Boston’s luxury market continues to evolve, Dickerson remains a steady presence for clients navigating complex decisions. Her success is rooted not just in record-setting sales, but in the confidence and trust she builds with every relationship.

Hair transplantation is entering a new phase defined by data, precision, and predictability, following the introduction of KE-Bot, a proprietary AI-powered methodology developed by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, founder of ASMED Clinic. The system applies three-dimensional scalp analysis and quantified follicular data to guide surgical planning, marking a shift away from intuition-based decision-making toward a fully measurable medical approach.

KE-Bot is designed to analyze the scalp in three dimensions, objectively measuring variables such as hair shaft thickness, follicular density, growth angles, and donor area capacity. By translating these biological characteristics into data, the methodology allows surgeons to plan graft distribution and donor usage with greater accuracy and consistency, helping deliver natural-looking outcomes that are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

The introduction of KE-Bot reflects a broader transformation underway in hair transplantation, driven by artificial intelligence, robotic analysis, and personalized medicine. As these technologies become more widely adopted, they are expected to reshape expectations around transparency, outcome predictability, and clinical accountability.

Traditionally, hair transplantation planning has relied heavily on visual assessment and practitioner experience. KE-Bot introduces a standardized analytical layer that reduces variability and increases predictability. By quantifying donor limitations and recipient needs before surgery, the system supports more personalized treatment plans while helping protect long-term donor reserves.

By developing and implementing KE-Bot, Dr. Koray Erdoğan positions ASMED Clinic at the forefront of this shift. The methodology underscores Turkey’s role not just as a treatment destination, but as a source of innovation and knowledge influencing international standards in hair restoration — especially as global demand for hair transplantation continues to grow.

AI-assisted scalp analysis represents a fundamental evolution in hair restoration, enabling surgeons to base decisions on measurable parameters rather than estimation alone. This approach aligns hair transplantation more closely with other data-driven medical specialties, where outcomes are planned and evaluated using objective metrics. KE-Bot represents a tangible step in that direction, signaling how advanced analytics and AI-supported planning are becoming central to the future of hair restoration worldwide.

About ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic

ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic is a leading hair restoration center based in Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, the clinic is internationally recognized for its expertise in advanced hair transplant techniques, particularly the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. ASMED focuses on personalized treatment plans, natural-looking results, and high medical standards, serving patients from all over the world. For more information, visit www.hairtransplantfue.org.

The Arab Investment Company has launched its new corporate identity, “Arab Invest,” in a strategic move that reflects its future direction and marks the start of a new chapter in its journey, which began in 1974, as one of the Arab sovereign Wealth funds concerned with developing resources and enhancing economic integration among its sixteen Arab member states.

The new corporate identity reflects the company’s value system underpinning its investment approach, based on robust governance, sustainability, effective partnerships, and adherence to the highest professional and economic standards, embodying its vision of building high-quality investments aligned with the priorities of the shareholder states. 

On this occasion, His Excellency Eng.

His Excellency added that the new identity is viewed as a clear translation of a well-considered investment trajectory that reflects depth of experience, strengthens stakeholders’ confidence, and supports the company’s ability to continue serving the interests of the Arab member states. 

For his part, the Chief Executive Officer of Arab Invest, Abdullah bin Saleh Bakhraibah, affirmed that the launch of the new corporate identity represents, in essence, a new chapter in the company’s journey spanning more than 50 years, noting the particular importance of this step at both the strategic and operational levels, as the new identity reflects a series of institutional transformations the company has undergone in recent years, including achieving the highest financial revenues in its history during 2025. 

Bakhraibah added: “The new identity is not merely a visual update for the company; rather, it is a strategic message that expresses an advanced stage of institutional maturity, while simultaneously underscoring the deep historical roots of one of the region’s most established Arab sovereign wealth funds, consolidating its distinguished position and the credibility it enjoys in the Arab investment landscape, enabling it to keep pace with major economic developments, and enhancing the company’s readiness to continue growth and expansion in accordance with best-in-class investment practices.” 

He also highlighted the company’s distinguished investment efforts since the launch of its new strategy, noting that Arab Invest has recently witnessed notable development in local and global strategic partnerships, aiming to achieve the highest performance standards and institutional operating mechanisms, while emphasizing the company’s continued commitment to delivering sustainable investment impact in line with the aspirations of the coming period.

Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers announced that Franklin County Superior Court has entered a judgment totaling $17,625,039.45 against a defendant property owner in a premises liability action arising from an August 2024 treefall incident.

According to the case record, a severely decayed tree located on the defendant’s property fell onto three women while they were in a front yard adjacent to the defendant’s property. The defendant’s property had experienced a prior treefall within the preceding six months.

The plaintiffs sustained serious injuries requiring hospitalization and ongoing medical care. The court’s award includes single damages, plus prejudgment interest and costs, assessed jointly and severally.

“This substantial award reflects the court’s recognition of the defendant’s clear negligence in failing to address a known hazardous condition on his property,” said Mackenzie O’Donnell, trial attorney at Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers. “The preventable nature of this incident — coupled with the profound, life-altering injuries to the plaintiffs — underscores the importance of holding property owners accountable through the civil justice system.”

Kelly, principal attorney at Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers. “We are deeply committed to standing by them through every step of their recovery, ensuring they receive the support and compensation they deserve to rebuild their lives after such devastating injuries.”

Municorn Limited today announced the launch of Municorn Fasting website at wellness-app.com, a new science-based knowledge hub designed to help people understand intermittent fasting clearly, safely, and without the noise.

Built as an educational companion to Municorn’s fasting app (iOS) experience, the site brings together practical guides, physiology explainers, and research-backed medically reviewed context — so users can better understand why fasting works, how different protocols compare, and how to align fasting routines with real-life goals. Content includes beginner-friendly resources and deeper “Science & Studies” coverage that links out to supporting research and emphasizes appropriate medical caution where needed.

“Intermittent fasting is everywhere right now — but information quality varies wildly,” said Tamsin Gable, head of PR at Municorn, and a Forbes Communications Council member. “We built Municorn Fasting website to be the place people can come back to when they want clarity: science-first explanations, plain language, and content that respects the reader.”

The new site is structured as an ongoing library, with regularly updated articles and reference pages that cover core fasting concepts (including common approaches like time-restricted eating), how the body shifts during fasting, and what the research does — and does not — support. It also highlights common contraindications and encourages readers to consult qualified healthcare professionals when appropriate.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the establishment of FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California and officially launched its first batch of Embodied AI (EAI) humanoid and bionic robots —FF Futurist (full-size professional humanoid), FF Master (athletic “action master” humanoid), and FX Aegis (quadruped security/companion). The first batch of deliveries is planned for end of February, with the target to be the first in North America to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously.

The unveiling occurred at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to the three robotic entries, the company unveiled the “Three-in-One” FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Strategy, Technology and Product, which includes three core components: EAI Device, EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory. Watch the full video of the event here.

FF not only launched the first three FF embodied intelligence (EAI) robots, but also opened paid non-binding pre-orders and full sales as it strives to achieve initial deliveries in the same month, targeting to become the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots and become one of the industry leaders in EAI robotics.

As of today, the total number of FF EAI Robotics units covered by non-binding and non-refundable paid B2B deposits has reached more than 1,200, which marks a terrific start for the company’s robotics goals. These B2C preorders were made by entities receiving compensation for co-creation activities.

EAI Robotics and EAI Vehicles

With this new strategy, FF looks to take the lead in opening a new AI frontier — starting in the U.S. This dual-track growth model, driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, could define a new growth curve for the company.

This move is a natural extension of the AI DNA that has been embedded in FF since day one. It is also the inevitable evolution of the vehicle-as-robot concept the company proposed ten years ago.

Second, this replicates and upgrades FF’s Auto Industry Bridge model, based on full regulatory compliance and localized deployment of data, software, AI, cloud services, and operating systems, FF could integrate a global EAI supply chain to deliver robots with a high price-performance ratio, filling a critical market void in the United States.

Third, the AI robotics business features lighter investment, faster delivery, and could generate positive operating cash flow more quickly.

Fourth, EAI robotics and EAI vehicles act as twin engines driving FF forward. They work hand-in-hand across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Combined with FF’s Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Bridge, and Dual–Public-Company structure, they could create a strong ecosystem synergy and open a new growth curve for the company.

“Today marks a pivotal and exciting point in FF’s history, one that we’ve been planning for some time now,” said YT Jia, founder and Global co-CEO at FF. “Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human-machine symbiosis.”

Robots

Three robotic forms were introduced at the NADA event: FF Futurist, FF Master, and FX Aegis. First, FF Futurist, is positioned as a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot — an all-around expert for professional roles. It is targeted to become the first humanoid robot in the United States to achieve mass production and delivery.

Second, FF Master, positioned as an athletic EAI humanoid robot. It is an all-intelligence action master that truly understands you. We believe that it will be one of the most cost-effective humanoid robot products in the U.S. market.

Third, FX Aegis, positioned as a professional quadruped EAI robot for security and companionship. It is a loyal, practical guardian, and will be one of the earliest robot friends to enter your daily life and work environments.

1. FF Futurist 

This is a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot — your all-around expert for professional roles. He was built for the real world to take on serious jobs and work alongside people. Powered by the NVIDIA Orin platform, he can deliver up to 200 TOPS of computing power, with support for continuous upgrades and expansion. That means he doesn’t just understand complex environments — he can grow with every new task, every new industry, and every new challenge.

He sees the world in detail with industry-leading perception. He has a perception system that combines multiple high-resolution cameras, fisheye camera, RGB-D camera, 3D LiDAR, and tactile sensors. With Wi-Fi and 5G, he can support remote control, VR teleoperation, and collaborative work.

FF Futurist will have 28 high-performance motors, peak torque of up to 500 newton-meters, a power density of 125 newton-meters per kilogram, three-hour operating time and hot-swappable battery design. He can support natural interaction in up to 50 languages and features a fully customizable, interactive facial display. Combined with tailored software solutions, he can deliver a thousand faces for a thousand robots, adapt to different people, different roles, and different moments. 

Regarding usage scenarios, he can be seen in many roles including in hotels, showrooms, and museums — basically a multilingual super concierge. In retail, dealerships, and real estate, he is a most professional super sales advisor. On stage, at launch events, and at shows, he is a composed and versatile super host. In schools, institutions, and labs, he is a forward-looking research and teaching assistant. In theme parks and pop-ups, he can be the most intelligent brand ambassador. In the next phase, he can be entering homes and factories as a friendly household assistant and a productive industrial partner, providing people more time for creativity and innovation. 

2. FF Master

This is an athletic EAI humanoid robot — your all-intelligence action master who truly understands you. He can be more than just an AI companion but instead a real companion who helps in everyday life. At home, he can study with your kids, chat with your parents, and help you unwind. When you are away, he helps you check in on your home through remote video and sensors after the upgrade to make sure everything is okay. He can adapt and learn new skills. He has 30 degrees of freedom in his body, not counting his hands.

Regarding usage scenarios, he can be a "chief interaction officer" at events. In classrooms and labs, he can be a hands-on assistant for research and training. He can constantly evolve, maybe become your personal trainer, or your outdoor companion — stepping beyond the living room, exploring further, and discovering more possibilities of life. 

3. FX Aegis

This is a professional, embodied AI quadruped robot designed for security and companionship. Aegis is naturally adaptable to complex environments. Its peak joint torque can reach 48 Newton-meters, easily overcome obstacles of about 13 inches and climbing stably on slopes of 40 degrees. Aegis supports Wi-Fi and 5G communication and can also expand to remote operation capabilities, allowing it to work continuously outdoors, in industrial sites, and even in areas far from network coverage.

Aegis is highly adaptable both structurally and functionally. It comes standard with a quadrupedal structure, while also supporting an optional four-wheeled version; it can flexibly expand with Lidar, depth cameras, communication modules, and even robotic arms, fire extinguishers, and professional security plugins according to task needs — allowing it to seamlessly adapt to different scenarios. 

On the software level, it can connect with home, campus, and industrial security systems, achieving continuous patrol, status feedback, and intelligent linkage. Aegis also comes with mature autonomous patrol and follow-me capabilities. It can perform stably without frequent human-machine interaction. Outdoors and on the road, it can follow alongside, providing lightweight assistance and safety assurance. 

Regarding usage scenarios, it’s a reliable traveling partner on the road. In factories and law enforcement — it functions as a professional security pioneer. In emergency rescue and high-risk environments, it is always the first to enter the scene. And in asset inventory and small item delivery tasks, it is also a punctual, silent mobile messenger.

Robotics Pricing, Sales, and Service

Today, FF also announced the pricing for its three embodied AI robots. It is as follows: The FF Futurist series, starting from $34,990; the FF Master series, starts from $19,990; the FX Aegis series, starting from $2,499. 

The ecosystem skills package for FF Futurist is priced at $5,000; for FF Master, the ecosystem skills package is priced at $3,000; for FX Aegis, the ecosystem skills package is priced at $1,000. This is applicable only to products equipped with secondary development capabilities. FF also contemplates offering financing, leasing, and rental options so customers can choose the model that works best for them. And as a reminder, future users can place their orders directly at www.ff.com. 

On the service side, FF will provide after-sales support, along with OTA updates and remote technical services.

“Today, the issues and pain points that limited robotics advancement in the past have turned into massive industry opportunities,” said tech creator Jon Rettinger. “Breakthroughs in large language models, AI computing power, battery technology, and world models have changed the equation. There’s no doubt that the embodied AI robotics industry is reaching a critical moment — a tipping point where technological breakthroughs are giving way to large-scale commercialization.”

FF’s Robotics Brand Vision

Through FF EAI-Robotics Inc. and the brand slogan “Solving real-world problems with EAI, and building a civilization of human-machine symbiotic productivity,” FF positions embodied AI robots, together with vehicles, to drive the next stage of productivity and civilization evolution.

“6-3-3” Industry Applications and Practical Value

Built on six leading tech/product advantages, FF introduced the “6-3-3 Industry Applications and Practical Value” framework: six commercial and public-service scenarios, three family service scenarios, and three industrial scenarios — covering needs across enterprises, public institutions, households, and tech-enthusiast individuals.

Four Trends

FF outlined four key trends for the robotics industry: general and autonomy; profession and expertise; data as an asset; and protocol-based ecosystem. These define the path from single-purpose machines to a scalable human-machine symbiotic ecosystem.

FF Par — FF’s Co-Creation User Ecosystem Partner Program

FF Par introduces two major upgrades to the traditional dealership model. First, a business model upgrade. Instead of relying solely on one-time vehicle sales, FF Par enables a sustainable revenue model built on vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem operations. Partners can share in the long-term value across the product lifecycle — without bearing traditional risks such as high inventory pressure, high operating costs, or pricing instability.

Second, a capital model upgrade. Partners are brought into FF’s co-creation ecosystem — meaning dealers don’t just sell products, they become stakeholders, directly participating in and sharing the long-term capital value. The upgraded dealer and partner platform redefines the traditional dealership model with a user-operations–driven partner platform that upgrades both business (vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem) and capital models (partners becoming FF-level value sharers), positioning future dealers as “intelligent terminal operators” selling both vehicles and robots.

FF firmly believes that FF’s user co-creation ecosystem will inject new vitality into automotive dealerships across the United States — offering an innovative solution built on user operations and intelligent terminal ecosystems. FF also believes that the future sales channels for robotics will highly overlap with automotive channels. Tomorrow’s car dealers can evolve into “intelligent terminal operators” — selling both vehicles and robotics products.

Looking over the long-term, FF believes that global robot ownership could reach tens of billions of units over time, potentially far exceeding the scale of today’s global automobile fleet.

Today, Sanctuary Innovations, LLC announced the official launch of Havven across the United States and Canada. The new social platform offers a high-integrity digital ecosystem designed to serve as a sanctuary for the alternative lifestyle and LGBTQ+ communities. Built on a foundation of “Safety by Design,” Havven arrives as a direct response to the systemic censorship, shadowbanning, and data exploitation rampant on mainstream platforms.

For over a decade, the Alternative Adult and LGTBQ communities have been forced to jump between multiple social apps, only to face systemic erasure, fragmented community silos, and unprotected digital assets. Havven unites all of the best parts of these technologies to create one space where anyone has the power to be whoever they want — whenever they want.

“Mainstream social media treats the alternative community as a liability to be managed or a glitch to be erased,” said Derek Hanjora, CEO of Sanctuary Innovations. “At Havven, we believe that what makes you a glitch to them makes you the main event to us. We didn’t just build another app; we built a sanctuary where identity is celebrated, assets are protected, and the community finally has a home that won’t turn its back on them.”

A New Standard in Digital Integrity

Havven introduces a revolutionary set of features designed to return control to the user:

• The Collapsed Stack: A unified experience merging high-fidelity social feeds, the Havven Marketplace, and verified community connections.
• Algorithmic Sovereignty: Through Mandatory Tagging, users train a proprietary algorithm to understand their specific interests. Combined with the Creator Content Toggle, users can customize their feed to be as social or creator-focused as they desire.
• The Two-Tier Precision Toggle: To ensure a safe environment for all, Havven utilizes a unique sensitivity system. Users can precisely navigate the sanctuary using independent levels of Adult content toggles, ensuring they see only the content they explicitly opt into.
• Safety by Design: With frictionless AI-driven verification and a zero-tolerance policy for doxxing, deadnaming, and harassment, Havven is the first platform to offer a truly high-trust environment for alternative adults.

Traction and Momentum

Launching with a pre-registered waitlist of over 35,000 members across North America, Havven has already demonstrated a massive market hunger for a high-integrity alternative to legacy social media. The platform’s unique economic model, including an industry-leading 83/17 revenue split for creators and a flat-fee transaction engine, positions it as a sustainable ecosystem for the modern creator economy.

“We are moving past the era of digital homelessness,” added Hanjora. “Havven is proof that you can build a scalable platform that respects the laws of the land and the requirements of payment processors without sacrificing the soul of the community.”

The Sanctuary is now open to users in the U.S. and Canada. Users can claim their handle and join the movement at www.havven.me.

About Havven

Havven is the world’s first "Safety by Design" social ecosystem, engineered as a secure digital sanctuary for the 18-plus creator economy and alternative communities. By integrating a high-integrity social feed with proprietary anti-piracy technology — including advanced screenshot and screen-recording deterrence — Havven provides a secure home for the LGBTQ+, kink, and alternative populations currently marginalized by mainstream platforms. Currently a member of the prestigious Mannx/Moonshotnx accelerator, Havven is redefining digital commerce through its unified marketplace and creator-first 83/17 revenue model. Our mission is to move beyond the transactional nature of legacy paywalls to build a global sanctuary where identity is celebrated, and safety is the standard.

freebeat.ai, the Stanford-founded company that pioneered the AI music video agent category, today confirmed its dominance as the leading AI music video generator. By defining a new medium where music itself acts as the director, freebeat.ai has moved the industry beyond the limitations of text prompts and simple beat-syncing.

For decades, "music visualization" meant one thing: simple audio-reactivity — jagged lines and geometric shapes bouncing predictably to frequency spikes. This is not intelligence; it is a reflex.

freebeat.ai has retired this approach. The company built the first AI music video agent — a system that transforms music to video using audio alone as creative input.

The proprietary technology, built on a dedicated music-vision foundation model developed since 2021, does not react to the beat. It interprets the song. The AI listens to the emotional arc — the tension, the release, the mood — directing a coherent visual story rather than a synchronized light show. This is the difference between an AI music visualizer that responds to sound and an agent that directs meaning. Watch the freebeat.ai music video agent in action.

The Music-First Standard

"Music is a dream trapped in the beat. We give it a vision and make the story complete," said Bruce Chen, co-founder and CEO. "A video in silence is just a sequence of images, incomplete. We give it a flow, a soul, a true heartbeat. The era of the simple visualizer is over. We have built an agent that understands the artist's intent."

While generic video models rely on static text prompts, freebeat.ai treats music as continuous creative direction. This audio-to-video engine has driven rapid global adoption, with the platform now scaling toward 1 billion seconds of generated content.

From Tool to Taste Intelligence

"When video generation becomes commoditized, the value shifts to knowing what to generate. That is taste intelligence, and that is the category we own," said Henry Fan, co-founder and COO. "Spotify built a $100 billion ecosystem letting people hear their identity. We are answering the inevitable next question: What happens when they can see it too?"

The next chapter of real-time music-first generation arrives early 2026.

About freebeat.ai

freebeat.ai is the creator of the AI music video agent category and the leading AI music video generator. Founded by Stanford engineers, freebeat.ai makes music visible — letting creators create music videos from songs with one click, using music alone as the creative prompt. Learn more at freebeat.ai.

Unlisted, a digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that aren’t for sale — yet, announced today that Nicole Terry, Real Estate Professional and Founding Partner at The HEIDER Company at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, has joined the platform. Terry brings a proven track record of luxury sales across Northwest Washington, Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia, including extensive experience in Chevy Chase and ZIP code 20815, further strengthening Unlisted’s presence in the Washington metropolitan area.

Terry joins her HEIDER Company colleagues Daniel Heider, Melanie Hayes, Jaclyn Mason, and Kara Sheehan, continuing the team’s growing engagement with Unlisted and its expanding network of top-tier real estate professionals.

Unlisted’s technology is designed to expand what’s possible for buyers and homeowners. Buyers gain new ways to explore homes beyond traditional listings. Homeowners gain visibility into genuine interest from potential buyers without needing to list. Agents gain access to tools that elevate their expertise while opening new pathways to support their clients.

Using publicly available data, Unlisted creates a digital property profile for every home in the country. These profiles can be searched, curated, and assembled into tailored collections aligned with a buyer’s goals. Even when a home is not on the market, buyers can join a Waitlist for properties they love, giving homeowners a clearer sense of demand and creating opportunities for thoughtful connection.

Unlisted works with a select group of real estate professionals who demonstrate leadership, deep market knowledge, and a commitment to exceptional service. As the platform continues to expand nationwide, its mission remains constant: broaden access, deepen transparency, and help buyers and homeowners engage more intentionally with every home’s potential.

A respected leader in Washington’s luxury real estate market, Nicole Terry has played a pivotal role in shaping The HEIDER Company into one of the most influential real estate brands in the industry. As a founding partner, she has helped drive record-breaking visibility for the team, including recognition as the world’s most followed real estate brand on social media, while redefining how high-end properties are positioned and marketed across the region.

Nicole brings a refined and intuitive perspective to real estate, guiding clients through buying and selling with clarity, vision, and confidence. Her background in medical technology sales shaped the client-focused communication style and strategic approach that continue to define her work today.

Deeply connected to the Washington, Maryland, and Virginia communities, Nicole’s business is grounded in authenticity, trust, and long-standing relationships. Beyond real estate, she is actively involved in charitable initiatives supporting organizations such as N Street Village, St. Jude, Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, and DC Central Kitchen, reflecting her commitment to giving back to the communities she serves.

“Helping clients envision what’s possible, whether they’re searching for their next home or preparing to sell, is what inspires me every day,” said Terry. “I’m excited to offer Unlisted as another meaningful resource for my clients.”

“Nicole brings a remarkable blend of insight, creativity, and market expertise,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Her leadership and dedication to delivering elevated client experiences make her a valuable addition to our growing network.”

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that aren’t for sale — yet, is spotlighting the personal perspective and strategic expertise behind Adrienne DeGuere, a top-producing real estate advisor with Sotheby’s International Realty serving Santa Fe ZIP codes 87501, 87505, 87506, 87507, and 87508.

Ranked among the top 4% of residential agents by sales volume, DeGuere has earned six professional designations and certifications, including CRS, SFES, ABR, SRS, SRES, and RENE. Her approach reflects a deep commitment to education, preparation, and client advocacy, blending data-driven strategy with thoughtful, personalized service. With more than two decades of experience, DeGuere is known for navigating complex transactions with clarity and precision.

In a recent Santa Fe listing involving a custom-built home in an established subdivision with limited comparable sales, she developed a pricing strategy that balanced market data with buyer demand and appraisal considerations. The home received competing offers within two days of hitting the market, resulting in a negotiated sale $74,000 over asking price. To protect her seller, DeGuere secured an appraisal gap contingency, alleviating pressure on valuation, and negotiated waived inspection and HOA contingencies. She also arranged a one-month post-closing occupancy at no cost, allowing the out-of-state seller time to coordinate an estate sale without disruption.

DeGuere’s broader philosophy centers on positioning homes accurately from day one and handling negotiations from a position of strength. Each listing receives a tailored plan informed by real-time market data, neighborhood-specific trends, and elevated, story-driven marketing. In addition to public listings, she also works through trusted private networks to support off-market transactions when discretion, timing, or strategy is a priority. “I believe informed decisions and calm guidance make all the difference in a real estate transaction,” said DeGuere. “My goal is always to help buyers and sellers feel confident, protected, and prepared, no matter how complex the situation.”

Unlisted was created to support this type of intentional, insight-driven engagement. The platform uses publicly available data to create a digital property profile for every home in the country, enabling buyers to explore opportunities earlier and homeowners to better understand interest over time. By prioritizing transparency and connection, Unlisted encourages more meaningful conversations throughout the home journey.

“Adrienne embodies the level of care, expertise, and strategic thinking that defines the Unlisted network,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Her ability to combine data, discretion, and personalized service creates exceptional outcomes for her clients.”

As she continues to scale her business across Santa Fe, DeGuere remains focused on refining her service while delivering consistent, high-level results. Her work reflects a steady, client-first approach grounded in trust, preparation, and long-term relationships.

AMSimpkins & Associates (AMSA), creator of the S.A.F.E. (Student Application Fraudulent Examination) platform, today announced its national feature on ABC News highlighting the growing "ghost student" fraud crisis impacting colleges and universities across the United States.

The investigative segment detailed how organized identity-theft rings are using stolen personal information to create fraudulent student enrollments, siphoning millions of dollars in federal financial aid while overwhelming admissions and financial aid offices. The coverage underscored a critical truth often overlooked in public discourse: colleges are not the cause of this crisis — they are among its primary victims.

"Institutions are being targeted by sophisticated criminal networks, yet they are often left to absorb the operational, financial, and reputational damage," said Maurice Simpkins, president of AMSimpkins & Associates and creator of S.A.F.E. "This is not a victimless crime. Colleges, taxpayers, and innocent individuals whose identities are stolen all suffer the consequences. Our mission is to ensure institutions are protected, supported, and never forced to fight this alone."

The ABC News feature showcased how S.A.F.E. is being used by higher-education institutions nationwide to detect fraudulent applicants earlier in the admissions process, verify identity signals, and reduce the release of financial aid to bad actors before damage occurs.

New National Collaboration Efforts Underway

Following the broadcast, AMSA has seen a surge in engagement from higher-education leaders, policymakers, and identity-theft victims seeking guidance and support. The company also confirmed it is actively aligning with federal agencies, enrollment leadership organizations, technology partners, and institutional stakeholders to develop new collaboration models focused on:

• Fraud prevention education for colleges and universities
• Clear reporting and response pathways for institutions
• Coordinated support resources for identity-theft victims
• Best-practice frameworks for modern enrollment security

Additional partnership announcements will be shared in the coming months.

SecurED Conference 2026: A National Forum for Fraud Prevention in Higher Education

To further unite the higher-education community around this issue, AMSA announced the upcoming SecurED Conference 2026, a national event dedicated to combating admissions and financial-aid fraud.

Details for the SecurED Conference 2026:

• Location: Atlanta, Georgia
• Date: November 19-21, 2026
• Website: www.securedconference.com

The conference will cover:

• College and university enrollment leaders
• Financial aid and admissions professionals
• Compliance and cybersecurity teams
• Federal and state agency representatives
• Higher-ed technology providers
• Policy and fraud-prevention experts

Attendees will participate in expert panels, hands-on workshops, case-study reviews, and strategy sessions focused on protecting institutions, students, and public funding.

"This conference is about building a united front," Simpkins added. "Fraud is evolving quickly — and higher education deserves modern tools, informed leadership, and strong partnerships to stay ahead."

About AMSimpkins & Associates (AMSA)

AMSimpkins & Associates is a Georgia-based education technology firm specializing in fraud prevention, data integration, and enrollment security solutions for higher-education institutions.

Six months after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced their intent to schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from kratom, Jeff Smith, PhD, national policy director of the Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART), issued the following statement noting the number of confirmed deaths linked exclusively to 7-OH still remains zero:

“Despite repeated claims suggesting imminent danger, no data has ever been presented to show that 7-OH poses any public health threat warranting emergency scheduling. Instead, the agencies’ actions appear to disregard the lived experiences of thousands of Americans who use 7-OH responsibly to manage pain, improve focus, and support overall well-being.

What facts drove the recommendation from HHS? None. No evidence was presented in August or over the past 6 months. Not a single independent study. Not one data point specific to 7-OH.

If 7-OH posed the kind of urgent danger that would justify emergency action, evidence would have been presented. It was not. When a reporter asked if the government could attribute even a single death to 7-OH, no official was able to do so.

While stating that doctors don’t know what 7-OH is or how to check for it, HHS also claimed there is an epidemic of people dying from it. Where is the data showing this?

Let’s be clear: 7-OH is not a public health crisis. According to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) own Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), and shown in the Marwood Report, there have been under 75 adverse events ever reported, despite well over a billion doses consumed nationwide.”

According to Smith, the real public-health danger is coming from unregulated products like Feel Free, which combines kratom and kava into an addictive cocktail that has caused severe physical and emotional harm to consumers, including intense withdrawal, depression, skin deterioration, and emotional instability.

The FDA abandoned its case against Feel Free but continues to pursue 7-OH, despite no FDA-reported deaths, fueling concerns that politics and powerful relationships, including ties to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are outweighing real consumer protection.

“The fixation on 7-OH is a deliberate distraction from these far more dangerous products flooding the market, many of them marketed without clear warnings and readily available in convenience stores,” Smith said. “Instead of pursuing a misguided ban, regulators should focus on consumer protection through consistent, science-based standards applied equally across all kratom products.”  

Smith added that HART continues to call for evidence-based policymaking and open scientific review before any action is taken that could harm consumers, researchers, and small businesses operating within the legal botanical products industry.

“The American people deserve transparency, scientific integrity, and consumer choice,” Smith continued. “The scheduling of 7-OH is a dangerous precedent. It tells consumers their health takes a back seat to corporate lobbying. It tells researchers their work will be evaluated in the policymaking sphere based on politics, not evidence. And it tells patients seeking safer alternatives that Washington would rather push them into the shadows than allow regulated, legal access.”

About Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART)

The Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) is a nonprofit policy organization dedicated to advancing safe, evidence-based access to natural alternatives for recovery and wellness. HART advocates for scientific transparency, consumer safety, and regulatory accountability in emerging health and wellness industries. Learn more at hartsupporter.com.

KP Public Affairs is excited to celebrate its 30-year anniversary and announce its third generation leadership with a new management team.

As one of the longest standing and consistently effective advocacy and public affairs firms in California, KP’s work continues to expand in all practice areas including legislative and regulatory advocacy, policy consulting, public relations, and procurement.

The firm’s new management team will be led by Alison MacLeod, John Doherty, and Brian White, and will oversee day to day operations alongside partners Jon Ross, Ed Manning, Mike Burns, Jeff Sickenger, Jenny Dudikoff, Vanessa Cajina, Patrick Geoge, and Pat Joyce.

KP began in the mid-1990’s by combining two firms to create the largest lobbying firm in the state with clients that represented every major industry and local government sector in California. KP has evolved over the last three decades to become a full-service, integrated public affairs firm with a comprehensive public relations and regulatory consulting practice. Throughout this growth, the company has maintained a boutique feel with the highest level of service and dedication to client success.

“We are focused on delivering client successes today, while positioning the firm for future growth with continuous expansion of our expertise and capabilities. KP has a strong foundation of clients across industry sectors and interest areas, and we have a highly talented team of professionals that are working every day to meet our clients’ goals,” said Alison MacLeod, John Doherty, and Brian White.

In 2022, KP joined Public Policy Holding Company (PPHC), a group of leading national and international lobbying and public affairs firms. As California is increasingly recognized as a global leader in setting public policy, there is interest far beyond the state’s borders in California policy and political affairs. By joining PPHC, KP has expanded its network of client connections, and positioned the firm for collaboration across national and international interests.

With the recent expansion of the firm’s leadership to include seasoned professionals in both the advocacy and public relations spaces, KP has enhanced the services offered to clients and expanded those services into new issue areas. KP has strengthened its commitment to  strategic advocacy and public affairs consulting, utilizing a wide variety of products and services, to assist our clients in achieving their business objectives. Our multidimensional approach remains strong and unmatched, setting us apart from our competition.

“After 30 successful years, we remain focused on providing leadership and strategy as a trusted advisor on California policy issues, offering superior services and comprehensive public affairs programs to deliver client wins, big and small, for years to come,” said Mike Burns, partner.

With more than 30 employees, including 14 lobbyists and 12 public relations professionals, KP’s bench of talent brings a multifaceted skillset that is deep and diverse, spans several industries and issue areas, with various backgrounds and professional expertise.

POUCH today announced the launch of it's new nationwide supplement brand designed to deliver IV-inspired nutritional formulations in a portable, ready-to-drink format. The product line is intended for individuals seeking targeted, nutrient-dense supplementation without the time commitment or clinical setting required for traditional IV therapy. The initial launch includes four premium blends formulated to support daily nutrition without needles, appointments, or downtime:

• Hydration+: Powered by marine minerals to help replenish minerals lost through sweat and support lasting performance
• Immunity+: Powered by a blend of polyphenols, vitamin C, zinc, and more to support immune health
• SkinRevive+: Delivers 2x the antioxidant power of standard skin drinks to support overall healthy, radiant-looking skin
• WellDrip+: Inspired by the Myers’ Cocktail, this blend combines vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support energy and total wellness.

Each formula is proprietary, built around a clear outcome so users can choose the support that fits their needs.

Miami-based founder Annie Kurnick, who built her career in luxury media and brand development, relied on IV therapy during periods of intense travel and high-pressure work. While effective, the format never fit her on-the-go lifestyle.

“IV therapy worked for me, but sitting still for an hour never made sense,” says Kurnick. “I wanted something targeted, portable, and real, something that could actually keep up.”

That insight became POUCH. The formulas are inspired by well-known IV therapy blends, including the Myers’ Cocktail, using highly bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for efficient absorption. Across the collection, standout ingredients include:

• Aquamin™, a multi-mineral complex derived from red algae harvested off the coast of Iceland that carries over 72 trace minerals to support superior hydration and absorption.
• NutriGlo® Glutathione, often called the body’s “master antioxidant,” defends against oxidative stress and supports detoxification.
• VitAlign™, a blend of 7 plant-based polyphenols that helps reduce oxidative stress, protect cells from free radicals and support a healthy immune response.

Design is central to POUCH’s identity. Each product comes in a flexible, lightweight pouch with a sport nozzle spout, subtly referencing an IV bag while remaining sleek, discreet, and travel-ready. Packaging incorporates post-consumer recycled materials where feasible, signaling an early commitment to sustainability.

“This is about premium fluids that carry meaningful nutrition into real life,” Kurnick adds. “Our customers operate at a high pace, and their nutrition can slip to the margins of the day. What they’re missing isn’t discipline, it’s time. POUCH was built to solve for that.”

Formulation rigor was non-negotiable from day one. All products are produced in cGMP-certified facilities, with ingredients sourced from validated suppliers, and formulas third-party tested to ensure quality, label accuracy, and reliability.

“From a formulation standpoint, the goal with POUCH was efficiency,” says Rachel Dannemeyer, POUCH’s lead consulting chemist. “We selected nutrient forms that are known to be highly bioavailable orally and built each blend around purposeful dosing rather than excess. Every ingredient is there to support a specific function, and the delivery format was designed to make daily use realistic, not clinical.”

POUCH is rewriting the rules of advanced nutrition: proprietary, IV-level fluids delivered in a sleek package, engineered for lives in constant motion. For consumers, this means high-performance hydration, immunity, total body wellness, and skin support in a format that keeps up, anywhere, anytime.
