NetActuate puts the second video path inside its service

The edge operator's new transport offer absorbs the work of running redundant routes. A broadcaster still needs to know where that protection begins, where it ends and what its latency figures exclude.

Theravance Brings $360 Million of Cash to Its Own $929 Million Sale

The arithmetic of Zymeworks’s proposed acquisition of Theravance Biopharma is unusually clean: $350 million from a creditor, an expected $360 million from the company being bought and $219 million from the buyer add to the announced $929 million cash price. The claims attached to…

New Fortress Left Old Holders 35%—Then Set the Preferred to Convert Into 87%

New Fortress Energy says its restructuring cut roughly US$5.7 billion of third-party debt to about US$700 million of corporate debt. That clean headline conceals a change of denominator. Existing shareholders kept 35% of the common stock at closing, but a creditor-held preferred…

Avid moves editing to the browser, but the archive is not the cut

Keeping high-resolution footage in a customer's cloud answers one question about control. The harder one is whether an approved edit remains usable as work moves between the browser, desktop and finishing room.

TwelveLabs turns video search into a metered managed service

Fresche's AI expansion depends on carrying old business rules

Prapl puts backup storage choice back with the buyer

The Windows tool separates database backup software from the place that holds the copy. That can widen the buyer's options, provided the keys, restore method and storage bill travel with the decision.

Ocean Network prices the window; useful work still matters

The new Inference service makes a dedicated session's cost visible before booking. Whether that buys economical output still depends on demand, readiness and what happens when the node stops answering.

Hamachi's privacy pitch has a boundary beyond the model

The firm's September patent announcement promotes protection before an LLM sees client data. Its published data-use and retention terms describe a wider operating perimeter that buyers still need to examine.

Nutrient links extracted fields to evidence, not approval

Fort’s 50.1% Logia Stake Can Fall to 5% on Success—or Rise to 85% on Default

Fort Technology has acquired a majority of Logia USA, but not one designed to remain still. The contracts turn ownership into an operating instrument: specified success transfers equity and board control toward the founder, while default can move 85% to Fort. That symmetry makes…

Sidetrade's SAFE puts the agent bill inside its own contract

Private compute and included usage can make an AI service easier to buy. For receivables teams, the harder measure is the cost of authorised work that actually gets completed.

Positron’s $875m Does Not Yet Put Asimov in Production

Positron AI has raised enough money to carry its next inference chip through tapeout, build an engineering data centre and prepare a new system for production. Those are three different promises of capital, not one receipt for a finished product. The public production target has…

PageUp's AI certificate and hiring decisions need different proof
