Sunny Optical Technology (2382.HK) recently reported its second consecutive year of revenue growth.

Key Points

• FY2025 revenue reached RMB 43.23 billion, up 12.9% YoY; profit attributable to the owners of the Company was RMB 4.64 billion.
• Automotive optics and pan-IoT products are accounting for a larger portion of the revenue mix year by year, at margins above the smartphone segment.
• In January 2026, the company initiated a share buyback program.

The Yuyao-based optics manufacturer reported RMB 43.23 billion in revenue for FY2025, a record high and an increase of 12.9% from the previous year. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company was RMB4.64 billion.

Broader industry headwinds continue to weigh on the industry. Earlier this year, industry research pointed out sluggish smartphone demand and sustained pricing pressure on components. Handset volumes have remained weak, and the Company still maintains significant exposure to that market.

In January, the company initiated a share buyback program. More importantly, the fastest-growing segments of the business are no longer phone-centric. Automotive optic and pan-IoT products are accounting for a larger portion of the revenue mix year by year. These segments typically offer higher margins and present significant barriers to entry for competitors. Over the past decade, Sunny Optical Technology has evolved far beyond simple camera lenses. "From a single lens to a complete visual perception system, forty years of work, perfectly timed," said Wenjie Wang, Executive Director of Sunny Optical Technology.

According to the company, that timing aligns with the current AI revolution. As AI moves from software into the physical world, the demand for high-end optics is surging. Self-driving cars require precision road vision, robots need spatial awareness, and spatial computing devices must map environments in real time. These developments support Sunny Optical Technology's role in physical AI infrastructure.

"Optics is where AI enters the physical world," added Wang. "Sunny Optical is already at that entry point."

Pirix, a media and marketing agency, in collaboration with Oppenheimer & Co., hosted the Investment Mindset Series in New York. Bringing together a curated group of women founders, executives, and operators to explore how wealth is built, beyond income.

Held during March, a month globally associated with women-focused initiatives and International Women’s Day, the event addressed a growing shift; as women reach higher levels of income and leadership, the question is no longer only how to earn but how to allocate, protect, and grow capital over time. Focused on the importance of capital allocation over income, emphasizing that in an increasingly volatile and technology-driven economy, financial resilience depends on how capital is structured and deployed, not just earned.

The evening combined perspectives from finance to investment, neuroscience, and technology to examine how evolving systems are reshaping decision-making:

Speakers emphasized that investment decisions today must account not only for financial markets but also for how technology is redefining work, income stability, and long-term mindset building.

Neuroscience insights explored how the brain responds to stress, memory, and aging, particularly relevant as women often reach peak earning years while also facing cognitive and physiological shifts, making brain health and decision-making frameworks critical to long-term performance.

Rather than focusing on short-term financial tactics, the series centered on systems thinking — encouraging participants to evaluate capital, health, and knowledge as interconnected assets.

The event was moderated by Leila Doering and featured sessions by Morgan Newman and Amber Soden (Financial Advisors of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.), Dr. Piray Atsak (Wizbe), and a fireside conversation with Cigdem Oztabak (Pirix Media House), and Carolina Alduey (Clarity Network, Good Sponsors).

The Investment Mindset Series is expected to continue with future sessions, expanding its focus on how women navigate wealth, visibility, and decision-making in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

The evening was supported by partners includingOvergreens Salad & Juice and wine selection by Barrow & Barrel Vineyard and Cellar, along with MASAMI Haircare, Noori Skincare, and Wizbe Brain Performance.

Faro today announced a collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb to standardize on Faro’s digital protocol platform as the system of record for structured protocol design across its drug development organization.

This multi-year deployment establishes a structured digital protocol foundation designed to support the safe and scalable use of agentic AI across design, drafting, validation, and optimization workflows. The initiative reflects a broader industry shift from document-based development processes to structured, data-centric operating models.

As clinical trial protocols continue to grow in complexity, development organizations face increasing pressure to improve feasibility, reduce amendments, and shorten cycle times. Traditional document-centric approaches can limit visibility into cross-functional dependencies and make systematic validation challenging. By embedding structure directly into the protocol at the point of creation, BMS is implementing a more consistent and governed framework for study design that provides the infrastructure required to operationalize AI at scale.

Faro’s platform converts narrative protocol design elements, such as objectives and endpoints, or the SoA, into structured digital assets aligned to corporate standards and industry frameworks. Within this foundation, AI agents can execute defined tasks with traceability and human oversight, such as:

• Simulating schedule of activities and assessing potential site and patient burden
• Quantifying and mitigating protocol complexity, allowing for mitigation of operational risks and potential amendment drivers prior to study launch
• Validating internal consistency across study design elements and supporting documents
• Benchmarking protocol characteristics against industry standards, including the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD) framework
• Drafting protocol sections based on structured inputs and established standards

The enterprise deployment spans global development teams and supports both early- and late-phase programs. Results from early implementation across several late-stage programs indicate that BMS can accelerate timelines, improve quality and increase probability of technical success through streamlined, patient-centric protocols that eliminate unnecessary procedures and provide real-time optimization insights. 

“Scaling AI in clinical development starts with structured data,” said Scott Chetham, CEO and co-founder of Faro. “Digital protocols provide the foundation required to apply AI consistently, transparently, and at enterprise scale. We are proud to support BMS in advancing this shift.”

“Our focus is on using AI and digital tools to improve how we design and run clinical trials — so we can learn faster, maintain quality, and bring transformative medicines to patients sooner,” said Bryan Campbell, Senior Vice President, Drug Development Strategy and Innovation, Bristol Myers Squibb. “By standardizing on Faro’s digital protocol platform, we’ll have the structured foundation to scale AI-enabled workflows responsibly across our development programs.”

About Faro

Faro provides a digital protocol platform that serves as a structured foundation for modern clinical development. By replacing document-based processes with standardized digital protocols, Faro enables pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations to improve study feasibility, reduce rework and amendment risk, and deploy AI agents at scale across the entire clinical development process. The platform supports greater consistency, operational oversight, and efficiency from initial design through trial execution. For more information, visit farohealth.com.

In a recent report by The Center Square, Michael F. Arrigo, a nationally recognized medical billing expert witness, cautioned that Florida officials face significant regulatory hurdles regarding healthcare transparency. With decades of experience testifying in high-stakes medical fraud litigation, Arrigo noted that current billing complexities mean state officials have their work cut out for them in protecting consumers.

"Prosecuting health care fraud is not for the faint of heart," Arrigo said in an interview. "It’s complex. By necessity, making a case takes time, typically including an expert forensic review of a statistically valid sample of medical records and medical bills."

Arrigo further noted that oversight is a multi-layered effort: “All 50 states and three territories have a Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU)— a joint federal-state agency that investigates and prosecutes not only the abuse and neglect of recipients in hospitals and nursing homes but also fraud by Medicaid providers.”

About No World Borders

No World Borders provides expert witnesses for civil and criminal litigation in medical billing disputes involving usual customary and reasonable (UCR) charges for medical bills in personal injury litigation, performs medical record audits to determine the accuracy of medical coding in alleged civil overpayment disputes between providers and health plans, and fraud expert analysis.

The company was founded by CEO Michael F. Arrigo, a prolific healthcare fraud expert. He has been admitted as an expert by the U.S. Court of Appeals, as well as various federal and state courts, in medical billing, electronic health records, HIPAA privacy, HIPAA security rule, cybersecurity in healthcare, physician compensation, and corporate governance.

Michael J. López, organizational change expert, LinkedIn Top Voice, former Big Four managing director, and author of "CHANGE: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body, and Behavior," today announced the release of "Rethinking Change Management: A National Workforce Study on the Real Drivers of Organizational Change." The study surveyed 1,000 American workers to investigate the persistent gap between what organizations invest in during change initiatives and the outcomes those investments actually produce.

For three decades, organizations have invested billions in consulting engagements, training programs, and transformation roadmaps. Despite that investment, the widely cited benchmark of 70% change failure has not moved. This study was designed to find out why.

And the results are difficult to ignore.

• 1,000 — American workers surveyed
• 81% — Say change capability is essential to stay competitive
• 0% — Overlap between what companies deliver and what employees need
• 95% — Confidence level (±3.1% margin of error)

What the study uncovered challenges a foundational assumption behind most transformation strategies: that organizations know what workers need in order to change. The data suggests they do not. The gap between what is being provided and what is actually needed cannot be solved with more communication or a bigger training budget. It points to something more fundamental: a misalignment between how organizations have been designed to deliver change and how human beings are actually wired to adapt.

"For more than a decade, I’ve seen companies run the same change playbook. With the unprecedented wave of disruption we are facing, I believe we needed a shock to the system. This study, I hope, is the shock that propels our industry forward," said López.

The study also surfaces a significant and measurable gap between how prepared leaders believe their organizations are for change and how prepared workers report actually feeling. That gap, which varies significantly by generation and by the type of change involved, has direct implications for how change strategies are being designed and resourced at the executive level.

On the specific question of AI and automation readiness, arguably the defining organizational transformation of the next decade, the perception gap between executives and employees reaches levels that should concern any leadership team planning for what’s ahead. 

"Executives feel 74% more prepared for change than the employees who must actually do the changing. This is just one of the leadership blind spots the study uncovered. If we are going to help people navigate the disruption ahead, leaders must be willing to challenge some long-held beliefs about how change actually works," said López.

Perhaps the most unexpected finding is what workers say when asked to identify what actually drove successful change in their own experience. Their answers point less toward traditional change management methodology and more toward the science of behavior change. The consistency of those answers across generations, job roles, and work arrangements suggests this is not noise. It is signal.

The question is no longer what’s failing. The question is whether organizations are willing to follow what their own workers are telling them.

"We know more about the science of change than ever before. This study points to a real need for that science across the workforce. Companies are just groups of people. And they have given us the recipe. We just aren’t following it consistently enough," said López.

As AI and technological disruption accelerate the pace of organizational change, understanding how employees adapt will become one of the defining leadership challenges of the next decade. The organizations that succeed will be the ones that learn how people actually adapt, and lead differently because of it.

The full research report, "Rethinking Change Management: A National Workforce Study on the Real Drivers of Organizational Change," is available now. To download the report or to bring this research to your organization through a keynote presentation or executive workshop, visit www.michaeljlopez.coach.

About Michael J. López

Michael J. López has spent his career at the intersection of how organizations change and how human beings actually adapt. He’s found a persistent and costly gap between the two. After more than two decades in senior leadership roles at Booz Allen Hamilton, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and Prophet Consulting, and as a former intelligence officer, he founded his boutique consultancy to help organizations close that gap. His book, "CHANGE: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body, and Behavior," introduced a behavioral science framework for individual and organizational transformation. This national study is the next chapter, bringing that framework to the workforce at scale to understand why change keeps failing, and what it will take to finally make it work. López holds an MBA from George Mason University and a bachelor's degree from Occidental College. Learn more at www.michaeljlopez.coach.

The senior director of federal procurement at Jacobs, Miriam R. Hamilton, has been honored by Marquis Who’s Who as a distinguished leader for her work in the consulting industry. With over 25 years of professional experience, Ms. Hamilton oversees procurement and compliance for national companies, meeting the needs of both internal and external clients. Today, she continues to move through familiar and unfamiliar territory, always positioning herself to learn and grow.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Jacobs delivers outcomes and solutions for the world’s most complex challenges. With offices across the globe, the company provides end-to-end services in manufacturing, cities, places, energy, environmental, life sciences, transportation and water. Ms. Hamilton has been with Jacobs for 20 years. 

Ms. Hamilton’s Journey to Jacobs

Before Ms. Hamilton began her professional career, she established the foundation for her academic career. She enrolled at Knox College in 1990 and completed a Bachelor of Arts in English writing by 1994. Even now, she believes that the liberal arts education she received there set her up to be the person she needed to be. Capable across disciplines and modalities, she interprets the world with a unique perspective.

Three years after graduating, Ms. Hamilton became an associate project manager at iXL Enterprises, Inc. Working in a technical space, she soon took an interest in the contracts behind the company’s work. She was often responsible for drafting the scope section of contracts that clients signed, which led her to consider contract law and real outcomes.

Ms. Hamilton carried this fascination to work as a consultant and business analyst at Interlink Group Incorporated (now Dell Technologies) in 2001. Within the year, she became a project and construction coordinator at DelWest Holdings LLC. She remained in this role for the next four years but found that she missed the consulting business. When she found an opportunity to return to the field in 2005, she took it.

Contributions as a Federal Procurement Professional at Jacobs

Ms. Hamilton became a federal procurement professional at Jacobs in 2005, an experience that bolstered her skills in subcontracting and public law. By 2015, these new skills led her to become a senior federal procurement supervisor with the company. In 2021, Ms. Hamilton was appointed deputy federal procurement director of the Greater Denver Area; just three years later, she became director of federal procurement for Greenwood Village, Colorado.

Since 2025, Ms. Hamilton has operated as senior director, Americas national for federal procurement, at Jacobs. Beyond overseeing procurements and compliance, she is responsible for providing software training to staff, managing communication between subcontractors and the company, and turning requirements into tangible results. With Jacobs, she has found a unique opportunity.

Plans for the Future

Moving forward, Ms. Hamilton plans to continue transforming operations at Jacobs, both within her department and the wider business. She aims to focus procurement on efficiency in completing required tasks, helping individuals to meet their needs and partnering with others in accomplishing necessary work. In her own time, Ms. Hamilton intends to continue practicing other disciplines, such as her hobby of writing poetry.

About Miriam Hamilton

Miriam Hamilton is senior director, Americas national for federal procurement at Jacobs, a Dallas-based global company delivering solutions to complex challenges across infrastructure, energy, environmental and advanced industries. With 20 years at Jacobs, she has advanced through key leadership roles, building deep expertise in subcontracting, compliance and public procurement. She continues to focus on driving operational efficiency, strengthening partnerships and delivering impactful procurement outcomes across the organization.

The Saudi Falcons Club on Sunday released saker falcons (Falco cherrug) in the Republic of Kazakhstan as part of the international track of its Hadad Program, a scientific initiative aimed at restoring falcon populations to their natural range and supporting their long-term sustainability in the wild.

The release took place at Altyn-Emel National Park, selected based on defined environmental and scientific criteria, including habitat suitability, expansive open terrain, prey availability, and its importance as a natural breeding ground for the species.

The event was attended by officials and specialists from Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan. Ahmed Al-Habbabi, Deputy CEO of the Saudi Falcons Club, said the Hadad Program was launched in response to growing pressures on falcon populations, particularly the endangered saker falcon, and aims to support their recovery through structured, science-based release efforts.

He added that the program operates across two tracks: a domestic track focused on releasing Peregrine and Lanner Falcons within Saudi Arabia, and an international track dedicated to releasing saker and peregrine falcons in suitable habitats outside the Kingdom.

Al-Habbabi said cooperation between relevant entities in Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan is central to the program’s implementation, describing the initiative as a practical step toward restoring falcon populations in their natural environments while supporting ecological balance.

Zhunisbek Zhanat Omerbekov, Governor of Kerbulak District, expressed appreciation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for contributing to the revitalization of Altyn-Emel National Park through the release, describing it as a meaningful initiative that supports biodiversity and provides lasting value for future generations.

TWOPAGES, a window treatment brand known for its design-driven approach to home interiors, celebrates its 11th Anniversary Brand Day this March 2026, marking more than a decade of growth in the window treatment industry. To mark the occasion, TWOPAGES will host a Brand Day gathering in New York City, bringing together design and media professionals to reflect on the brand’s journey and future direction.

Founder’s Vision and Philosophy

Ray Chen founded TWOPAGES to redefine how people discover and live with window design. See the founder story video and read the brand story.

TWOPAGES is shaped by Chen's understanding of home and his perspective on curtains and drapes. As he explains: “Drapes and curtains aren't just for decoration; they create moments of peace and inspiration. I founded TWOPAGES to make custom curtains effortless, ensuring every window reflects your vision beautifully.”

During the process of furnishing his first home, Chen discovered that curtain pricing was complex and burdened with hidden charges, often  exceeding his budget. This experience made him realize that buying curtains shouldn’t be so complicated. He founded TWOPAGES to make the custom curtain process transparent, simple, and fair. Building on these early experiences, the brand has consistently aimed to blend functionality with design aesthetics, ensuring every curtain and drape reflects the individual needs of its users.

TWOPAGES has gradually developed a design approach that, based on this philosophy, embodies the idea that ‘window treatments are an expression of lifestyle’, creating living spaces that are both practical and imbued with warmth and beauty.

Charleston and Mount Pleasant real estate expert Bryan Crabtree has launched a new podcast, “The Bryan Crabtree Show,” focused on providing insight into real estate trends, market dynamics, and the broader economic factors influencing housing. Bryan previously hosted "The Bryan Crabtree Show" from 2000 until 2020 on multiple local and regional media outlets.

The debut episode explores how global events, including geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, are influencing buyer behavior and housing activity — both nationally and in the Charleston, South Carolina market.

“The Bryan Crabtree Show" podcast is available on YouTube and Facebook.

“What we’re seeing right now is not a slow market — it’s a selective market,” said Crabtree in the episode. “Buyers are still active, but they are far more disciplined. They’re analyzing value, comparing options, and making decisions based on condition, pricing, and presentation. When those three align, homes are still selling quickly — sometimes immediately.”

A Market Dividing Into Two Speeds

According to Crabtree, the Charleston housing market has evolved into what he describes as a “two-speed market.”

Homes that are properly priced, well-prepared, and professionally marketed   continue to perform strongly. Meanwhile, homes that miss the mark in any of these areas are seeing increased days on market and more frequent price reductions.

“There is a clear separation right now between homes that are positioned correctly and those that are not,” Crabtree said. “That gap didn’t exist to this degree a couple of years ago, but today, it’s the defining characteristic of the market.”

Global Events and Buyer Behavior

In the first episode, Crabtree discusses how broader economic uncertainty — including global tensions, inflation concerns, and interest rate movement — may be contributing to a temporary slowdown in buyer decision-making.

“When you have uncertainty in the global economy, whether it’s tied to conflict, inflation, or interest rates, buyers tend to slow down — not because they don’t want to buy, but because they want more clarity,” Crabtree explained.

He emphasized that this shift reflects caution rather than a lack of demand

“There’s still strong underlying demand for housing in Charleston. What we’re seeing is a delay in decision-making, not a disappearance of buyers.”

Inventory and Pricing Strategy

Crabtree also highlights rising inventory levels as a factor influencing market dynamics.

“As inventory rises, buyers gain options — and with options comes leverage,” he said. “They don’t feel pressure to act immediately unless a home truly stands out.”

He noted that pricing strategy remains the most critical factor in determining whether a home sells quickly or lingers on the market.

“The biggest mistake I’m seeing right now is sellers pricing based on what they want the market to be instead of what it actually is,” Crabtree said. “When you price correctly and pair it with the right marketing, you create competition. When you overprice, you eliminate urgency.”

Focus on Strategy and Visibility

The podcast also addresses the growing importance of marketing and digital visibility in real estate.

“This is no longer a market where you can just put a home in the MLS and expect results,” Crabtree said. “Exposure matters. Strategy matters. Positioning matters.

Crabtree, who has over 27 years of experience, more than 5,500 homes sold, and over $1 billion in career sales, has built his business around high-impact marketing and digital visibility strategies.

“The way buyers find homes has changed dramatically,” he added. “They’re searching online, they’re using AI tools, and they’re consuming video content. If your home is not positioned correctly in those environments, you’re invisible to a large portion of the market.”

A New Platform for Market Insight

“The Bryan Crabtree Show” is designed to provide ongoing commentary and analysis on real estate trends, offering both consumers and industry professionals a deeper understanding of the factors shaping the housing market.

Future episodes will cover local market trends, pricing strategies, development activity, and the evolving role of technology in real estate.

GoodVision AI, an AI infrastructure company led by former AWS and IBM executives, today announced the launch of an intelligent compute scheduling solution combined with distributed edge inference infrastructure. The platform is designed to address increasing token consumption, latency, and cost challenges driven by the rapid adoption of AI agents.

The announcement comes amid a broader shift in AI infrastructure. At GTC 2026, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that AI systems are evolving from traditional “data centers” into “token factories,” where inference throughput is becoming a primary performance metric. He indicated that inference demand could grow by multiple orders of magnitude, potentially reaching a million-fold increase within the next two years.

At the same time, new classes of AI systems — such as agent-based platforms capable of understanding user intent, maintaining long-term memory, invoking external tools, and executing multi-step workflows — are accelerating demand for inference. These systems introduce a new constraint around token consumption, as complex tasks may require hundreds of model calls, significantly increasing usage compared to traditional prompt-response interactions. Industry observations indicate that agent-driven workflows can lead to substantial increases in token expenditure, with some high-usage environments reaching extremely large daily consumption levels.

In response, hyperscale cloud providers are increasing capital expenditures to expand AI infrastructure capacity, with combined planned investments exceeding $280 billion in 2026. These investments are largely focused on securing power resources and scaling compute capacity. However, the rapid growth in demand raises a broader industry question as to whether centralized infrastructure expansion alone can address real-world challenges related to efficiency, cost, and latency.

Addressing Compute Congestion Through Intelligent Allocation

GoodVision AI was founded in 2019 based on the observation that application demand in cloud computing environments consistently scales faster than available compute supply. This structural imbalance has become more pronounced with the rapid proliferation of large models and AI applications.

The company reports that its AI-related revenue reached nearly $10 million in 2025, with over 100% year-over-year growth. With the continued rollout of its AI Factory and broader infrastructure platform, GoodVision AI expects total AI revenue to scale to hundreds of millions of dollars by 2027.

As AI applications are deployed across millions of users, inference workloads are increasingly distributed across geographies, devices, and network environments. Existing cloud architectures — primarily designed for centralized workloads—are not optimized for this demand pattern. As a result, rising latency, increasing costs, and reduced output reliability are emerging in production environments.

GoodVision AI’s platform is designed around a distributed and hierarchical compute model:

• Centralized cloud infrastructure for complex, high-value workloads
• Edge and localized compute for high-frequency, latency-sensitive inference
• Intelligent scheduling to dynamically route workloads based on task requirements

This approach enables workloads of varying complexity to be allocated to the most appropriate compute resources in real time, reducing congestion in centralized data centers while improving performance and cost efficiency.

Positioning as a Compute Distribution Network

The current AI infrastructure landscape includes hyperscalers, GPU-focused cloud providers, and model service platforms. While each addresses a layer of the stack, none fully resolves the challenges associated with large-scale, distributed inference.

Hyperscalers rely on centralized data centers, which may become inefficient for geographically distributed and latency-sensitive workloads. GPU cloud providers expand compute supply but lack orchestration capabilities, while model routing platforms enable flexibility across models without controlling underlying infrastructure.

GoodVision AI positions its platform as an intelligent compute distribution network designed to orchestrate inference workloads across heterogeneous environments. The system dynamically allocates tasks to the most suitable compute resources in real time, addressing both performance and cost constraints.

AI Factory Architecture and Token-Level Scheduling

GoodVision AI’s infrastructure, referred to internally as the AI Factory, combines GPU compute resources with a globally distributed network of compute nodes and an intelligent scheduling layer.

The platform includes a proprietary orchestration system that functions as a control plane for workload management, along with a token aggregation layer. Unlike API-based routing platforms, GoodVision AI integrates owned compute infrastructure and deployable private model clusters, enabling direct control over resource allocation.

A core innovation is token-level compute scheduling, which allows workloads to be routed based on task complexity, latency sensitivity, and cost considerations. This enables real-time optimization across public cloud environments, private data centers, and distributed edge nodes.

The company is also deploying edge compute infrastructure to bring inference closer to end users. This reduces latency and improves responsiveness for real-time applications, enabling compute delivery models similar to content delivery networks.

Global Expansion and Infrastructure Scale

Since 2025, GoodVision AI has expanded its inference compute footprint across Asia and globally, with Japan, South Korea, and the United States serving as key strategic hubs. The company has secured more than 400 MW of power capacity and plans to scale its infrastructure to support up to 400,000 inference GPUs.

These resources are integrated into a vertically managed platform spanning infrastructure development, operations, and workload distribution. Owned compute capacity provides resilience during periods of supply constraint and enables more efficient scheduling across the network.

Future Outlook: Distributed AI Infrastructure

As AI agents become embedded in enterprise systems, consumer applications, and physical environments, demand for continuous inference is expected to grow significantly. In parallel, AI infrastructure is evolving toward a distributed model, where compute resources are allocated dynamically across a global network.

GoodVision AI’s AI Factory concept reflects this shift, with localized inference hubs designed to serve regional demand while remaining interconnected within a broader compute network. These deployments enable real-time inference to be processed closer to end users, improving performance and efficiency.

In existing deployments, customers utilizing GoodVision AI’s infrastructure have reported approximately 60% reductions in cost, 50% lower latency, and around 50% improvements in platform gross margins.

The company is expanding into compute-intensive sectors including video generation and biotechnology, where large-scale, low-latency inference is critical. As these industries continue to adopt AI, demand for distributed, scalable infrastructure is expected to increase.

GoodVision AI anticipates that AI infrastructure will continue to evolve toward a globally distributed model, where compute becomes a foundational utility accessible to enterprises, developers, and users across industries.

The Global Kratom Coalition (GKC) today endorsed a new bill by U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis that would amend the Controlled Substances Act to schedule concentrated synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) as a Schedule I controlled substance.

The measure was considered Thursday at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee, titled “Policies to Protect Our Communities From Illicit Drug Threats.”

H.R. 8000 — also known as the “End Needless Distribution of 7-OH Act” or the “END 7-OH Act” — aligns with the July 2025 recommendation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to classify concentrated synthetic 7-OH as a Schedule I substance. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) still has not adopted that recommendation.

Meanwhile, states such as Florida and Kentucky have followed the FDA’s lead by moving in recent months to emergency-schedule concentrated synthetic 7-OH as a Schedule I narcotic, making it illegal to sell, possess, or distribute the substance in those states.

“We thank Rep. Bilirakis for introducing this important piece of legislation, which embraces existing federal health policy and widespread scientific consensus on the dangers posed by concentrated synthetic 7-OH opioid products,” said Matthew Lowe, GKC’s Executive Director.

Crucially, Rep. Bilirakis’ bill would schedule 7-OH’s “synthetic equivalents” but would not affect 7-OH “naturally contained in the plant of the genus and species name: Mitragyna speciosa, also known as kratom.”

In recommending concentrated synthetic 7-OH for scheduling last year, FDA officials emphasized that the agency’s action did not apply to natural kratom leaf, which contains only trace amounts (less than 0.04 percent by weight) of the 7-OH alkaloid and presents minimal health concerns to consumers.

By contrast, concentrated synthetic 7-OH products act like prescription opioids and pose significant risks of dependence, overdose, and respiratory suppression. Research published in Drug Alcohol and Dependence have found these products to be up to 13 times more potent than morphine, and their availability in gas stations, vape shops, and convenience stores is fueling a new wave of America’s opioid epidemic.

About Global Kratom Coalition

The Global Kratom Coalition is an alliance of natural kratom consumers, experts, and industry leaders dedicated to protecting access to natural leaf kratom while advancing scientific research, driving consumer education, and developing robust regulations to protect consumers.

2020 Builders announces the expansion of its attainable housing model into high-demand markets around Western North Carolina, with the goal of improving access to homeownership for middle-income buyers. The expansion comes at a time when many working Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to enter the housing market, as rising costs continue to outpace income growth.

While homeownership has long been considered a cornerstone of financial stability, that path has become less accessible for many. In markets across the United States, the gap between income growth and home prices has widened to a point where even full-time earners struggle to see a path forward.

According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's article, "Rent, House Prices, and Demographics," home prices have risen significantly in recent years, while affordability thresholds have stretched beyond traditional benchmarks. At the same time, a growing number of households are spending a substantial portion of their income on housing, limiting their ability to save or transition into ownership.

Meanwhile, wages have not kept pace with the cumulative rise in housing costs over the past decade. According to Jonathon Zetterholm, founder and president of 2020 Builders, member of the TEAM 2020 family of companies, the result is a growing population of working professionals, teachers, nurses, first responders, and hospitality workers who serve their communities yet cannot afford to live within them.

He frames the situation as structural rather than temporary. “For a lot of working families, the idea of owning a home feels like an unattainable dream,” he says. “When prices rise faster than incomes, the first step into ownership becomes harder every year.”

In desirable regions such as Western North Carolina, Zetterholm explains that inbound migration, retirement demand, and outside capital continue to elevate land values and final home prices. He notes that in such conditions, builders often gravitate toward higher-margin projects because the economics bring a certain level of safety, with luxury and custom developments appearing more financially viable.

Zetterholm does not frame this as a fault but as market gravity. “If the land costs more and materials cost more, builders naturally look for projects that can absorb those costs,” he notes. “The challenge is that it leaves fewer options for median-income families.”

The affordability crisis is not limited to ownership. Elevated borrowing costs in recent years have further constrained access, as higher mortgage rates combined with rising home prices have sidelined many potential buyers and slowed transaction activity.

“When rising prices intersect with elevated interest rates, even modest homes can become financially inaccessible,” Zetterholm explains. He notes that the compounding effect limits mobility and delays wealth creation for working families. “When entry-level homes move out of reach, it impacts entire communities,” he says.

From his perspective, part of the issue lies in fragmentation and inefficiency within construction. He frames the industry as one of the least standardized major sectors, where customization and extended build cycles introduce risk. “More variability usually means more cost,” he says.

The company’s expansion builds on a production-driven approach designed to address these inefficiencies at scale. By focusing on consistency and operational discipline, 2020 Builders aims to improve cost predictability and reduce barriers to entry for buyers.

Zetterholm believes that operational discipline can form part of the solution. “We looked at what large regional builders do well in terms of production efficiency and asked how we could apply those principles without sacrificing quality,” he explains.

According to Zetterholm, 2020 Builders’ model centers on repeatable floor plans, standardized material packages, and shortened construction timelines. By reducing variability, the company lowers waste and improves cost predictability. From his perspective, tighter build cycles reduce financing exposure and overhead, which directly influences attainable pricing. “We are not trying to reinvent housing,” he says. “We are trying to remove unnecessary inefficiencies so more people can participate.”

Through this expansion, the company plans to increase the availability of entry-level and attainable homes in markets where supply constraints and pricing pressures have limited options for middle-income buyers.

He acknowledges that this approach does not eliminate macroeconomic forces, nor does it claim to solve the national crisis independently. He explains it as a framework that aligns operational discipline with broader accessibility goals. Rather than pursuing scale for its own sake, he notes that the model focuses on entry-level and attainable tiers that are often underserved in high-demand regions.

In his view, housing affordability will remain one of the defining economic conversations of this decade. As reports such as NPR's "Fed cuts were supposed to lower mortgage rates, but they're back above 7%. Here's why," continue to show sustained cost pressures, he believes the industry faces a choice between maintaining existing structures or adapting production models to meet emerging realities.

“We believe ownership changes trajectories,” Zetterholm says. “If we can create systems that make that first step possible for more families, then we’re contributing to something bigger than a transaction.”

As 2020 Builders continues to scale its model, the expansion reflects a broader focus on efficiency-driven housing solutions aimed at improving accessibility without compromising build quality.

In an era defined by rising costs and constrained supply, efficiency alone will not solve the crisis. But disciplined, mission-aligned efficiency may help restore something many Americans still seek, a realistic path into a home of their own.

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramics, and materials science and Aircapture, the leader in modular direct air capture and utilization (DAC) technology, today announced the transition of their multi-year collaboration toward commercial deployment and scale-up. Corning is supplying advanced honeycomb ceramic materials engineered for efficient carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture in Aircapture’s modular DAC systems.

After several years of joint pilot-stage research, development, and system integration, the technology is moving into early commercial deployment. Aircapture has begun deploying modular DAC systems across beverage, concrete, and other industrial markets, while Corning is scaling its newest substrate technology engineered specifically for CO2 capture to support broader commercial adoption.

“Aircapture was founded on the premise that atmospheric CO₂ is not just a problem to be reduced, but a resource that can be put to productive use,” said Matt Atwood, Founder and CEO of Aircapture. “Aircapture is bringing commercially viable DAC pathways to market by producing high-purity CO₂ that meets real demand today — while delivering a clear value proposition and a path to long-term scalability. Partnerships like Corning who bring world-class ceramic engineering expertise play an important role in that progress. This level of technical collaboration is essential to building and deploying DAC systems that are profitable and scalable.”

Corning’s commercial prototype draws on decades-long ceramics expertise. More than 50 years ago, the company pioneered ceramic substrate and extrusion technologies for vehicular emissions control. Corning’s newest substrate features an engineered microstructure that is optimized for solid sorbent and flow-through adsorption processes. It supports continuous operation and provides durability under direct air capture conditions. Aircapture’s proprietary DAC platform, system architecture, and process design drive overall performance, with real-world deployment data continuously informing improvements in system efficiency, durability, and energy use.

Aircapture’s modular DAC units are compact, rapidly deployable, and designed for manufacturable scale. Systems can be installed and commissioned in days rather than months and have shown to produce CO₂ at up to 99.998% purity for use in commercial applications — including beverage carbonation, greenhouse agriculture, concrete processing, and other industrial uses — as well as permanent sequestration.

“For over 175 years, Corning has applied its expertise in materials science to help solve some of the world’s toughest challenges. Carbon capture represents an important new opportunity,” said Willard Cutler, Division Vice President and Commercial Technology Director, Corning Environmental Technologies. “Our focus is on providing customers with the innovations they need to bring new solutions to scale. We’re pleased to collaborate with Aircapture as it advances commercial deployment of direct air capture.”

The collaboration builds on demonstrated field successes. Under Project Hajar, in the UAE, Aircapture deployed eight modular DAC units featuring Corning’s substrates and achieved operational status in 17 days. Aircapture was later named as a winner of the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, underscoring both technical performance and the scalability of its approach.

The International Energy Agency estimates that carbon removal will need to scale to billions of tons annually by mid-century. By combining Aircapture’s modular system architecture with Corning’s advanced ceramics capabilities, the companies will help the world capture CO₂ directly from the air — transforming it into a valuable industrial resource across both legacy industrial applications and the emerging carbon economy.

ÆRTHLINGS, a mystery-box NFC collectible toy and mobile game from developer Modern Games, today announced its U.S. launch on iOS and Android at PAX East.

ÆRTHLINGS is a mobile RPG adventure where players collect, trade, and evolve characters while rebuilding a shattered planet, ÆRTH. Players collect ÆRTHLINGS FIGs, which are physical, cube-shaped NFC-enabled mystery box toys. Once scanned, a unique version of that character hatches into the game for the player to name, level up, battle with, and trade. The ÆRTHLINGS Genesis Collection launches with 24 character species across varying rarities, each with distinct attacks and abilities.

Players are tasked with rebuilding and repopulating ÆRTH while battling the MOONLINGS whose moon crash destroyed the planet. Along the way they heal the planet's scars, complete quests, earn hearts, and unlock new biomes as the world expands around them. Every ÆRTHLINGS FIG scanned into the game — whether from unboxing or a trade with another player — adds a new character to the world and pushes the rebuild forward. The game is free to play on iOS and Android, and physical FIGS are sold separately.

A Whole New Way to Trade

Trading collectibles has always meant giving something up, but ÆRTHLINGS is built so trading is always a win-win.

When players trade a physical FIG, their digital character stays in their collection permanently. Trades earn MUTÆTION Points, which unlock new skills and upgrades. Every time that FIG trades hands again, the original owner and everyone else in its history earns more rewards through a system called LINEAGES. The more a FIG travels, the more it gives back to the people who have held it, adding a new social twist on collecting and gaming in real life.

Taking Mystery Boxes and Toys to Life to the Next Level

Mystery box collecting is bigger than ever, and ÆRTHLINGS takes it somewhere entirely new. Every FIG is a blind unbox with the same thrill of the rare pull, but once you scan it into the game, that character is yours to play, level up, and trade in a full mobile RPG. Unboxing is the start of the story, not the end of it.

The team at Modern Games has spent over a decade building innovative connected-play products — and building the kind of experience that makes the moment after the unbox as exciting as the unbox itself. Core Modern Games members come from leading roles at Osmo and Sphero, and the studio published Beasts of Balance, a critically acclaimed NFC tabletop game. That experience is baked into every layer of how ÆRTHLINGS is built.

"Mystery boxes are all about the thrill of unboxing, hoping you find the thing you've been chasing, but then the experience is over. Toys-to-life games have this magic moment, where physical meets digital, and their worlds converge. We spent years asking why nobody had built something that did both — so we built it ourselves." said Justin Kifer, CEO and co-founder of Modern Games. “The physical toy, the mobile game, the trading, the Lineages — we designed each piece to make the others better. We've been building toward this for over a decade, and we can't wait to finally get ÆRTHLINGS into players' hands in our home U.S. market."

The ÆRTHLINGS universe also extends beyond the game. A 10-episode animated series on YouTube tells the story of trying to save ÆRTH from the MOONLINGS, and has already crossed 3.5 million views. Watch the ÆRTHLINGS series and the new game explainer video.

To download and play ÆRTHLINGS now, visit aerthlings.com. FIGS are available for purchase online, and will be sold in major U.S. retailers later this year. For players at PAX East, visit Booth #12031 to secure a free FIG.

The Scientific Association of Botanical Education and Research today commended Johns Hopkins University for its leadership in advancing rigorous, evidence-based clinician education through its continuing medical education (CME) program, "Introduction to Psychedelic Medicine and Psilocybin: Understanding the Science and Clinical Practices." Education like this plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes by equipping clinicians with the knowledge to make informed, safe, and effective treatment decisions. 

Hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelics and Consciousness Research, this accredited CME course is designed for physicians, advanced practice providers, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals seeking a foundational understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapies. The program provides a structured, science-forward overview of psilocybin and related compounds, including pharmacology, mechanisms of action, therapeutic potential, and current clinical trial data.

The course also addresses key elements of clinical practice, including patient screening, preparation, dosing sessions, and integration, as well as essential safety considerations such as contraindications, adverse event monitoring, and the importance of set and setting. In addition, the curriculum explores the evolving legal and regulatory landscape, equipping clinicians to navigate a rapidly changing field with clarity and responsibility.

“This type of continuing education is critical as interest in psychedelic therapies accelerates,” said Dr. Mary Hardy, MD, member of SABER’s Scientific Steering Committee. “Programs like this ensure that clinicians are not only informed by emerging data, but also grounded in the principles of patient safety, ethical care, and scientific rigor.”

The one-day accredited program offers continuing education credits and is delivered through expert-led lectures from leading researchers and clinicians in the field. Participants gain practical insights into how psychedelic therapies are being studied today and what responsible clinical integration may look like in the future.

SABER emphasized that initiatives like this play an essential role in bridging the gap between research and real-world application. As psychedelic medicine continues to evolve, clinician education will be a key determinant of both patient outcomes and public trust.

“SABER strongly supports efforts that prioritize education over speculation,” Dr. Hardy added. “Johns Hopkins University continues to set the standard for how emerging areas of medicine should be introduced into clinical practice.”
