STMicroelectronics introduces the STM32U3 as its first STM32 microcontroller family built on a sub-threshold (near-threshold) design, where the core logic runs from a VCORE as low as 0.65 V instead of the traditional 1.2 V. This Arm Cortex-M33 MCU line targets ultra-low-power designs while still delivering up to 1 MB dual-bank flash, 256 KB SRAM, TrustZone security and rich analog and digital peripherals for connected devices, sensors and metering. The near-threshold architecture cuts dynamic current to around 9.5–10 µA/MHz and achieves about 117 CoreMark/mW, enabling long battery life in cost-sensitive industrial, medical, and consumer devices.https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32u3-series.html

In this video, ST’s marketing team uses a smart-home style demo to show how a single STM32U3 platform can be tuned for very different power profiles. Four STM32U3 boards emulate an electronic energy meter, a smart doorbell at the entrance, a wearable device, and a smoke detector, each configured with its own duty cycles, sleep modes and wake-up patterns. The goal is to illustrate how developers can trade off active current, standby current, and response time using the same MCU family for metering, building automation, wearables and safety sensors.

Filmed at Embedded World North America 2025, the setup routes all edge nodes to a gateway based on an STM32H7R, which aggregates live current-consumption data from each STM32U3 node and renders dashboards on an HMI display. The H7R platform, implemented on a 14 nm process and optimized for graphics and cost-effective IoT, makes it easier to visualize how near-threshold operation impacts energy per task and remaining battery budget in real deployments.

Beyond the live demo, the STM32U3 series is positioned as part of ST’s broader ultra-low-power roadmap, extending the STM32L and STM32U lines with significantly lower dynamic and stop currents than previous generations such as STM32U5 and STM32L4.([STMicroelectronics][3]) Features like AI-assisted adaptive voltage scaling at wafer level, integrated audio digital filters for sound-activity detection, capacitive-touch channels, advanced timers and I3C connectivity are designed for always-on sensing, smart metering, voice-triggered devices and battery-powered nodes deployed for years in the field.

Security is also a key focus: the Cortex-M33 with TrustZone is complemented by hardware cryptography, secure storage/keystore and the security features inherited from STM32U5, aiming to meet modern IoT certification requirements even in tiny, low-duty-cycle devices.([Tiger Brokers][5]) In short, the video gives a hands-on tour of how STM32U3’s sub-threshold design and tooling can help engineers design energy-efficient smart-home, industrial and wearable products without changing MCU families across use cases.

Daniel explains how the system uses adaptive AI, cyber deception and cyber-clone traps to create an immediate “immunization” when a device is first hit (“patient zero”), then propagates that remediation to all customer environments while the original attack is still ongoing. Instead of relying on static signatures, NanoFirewall continuously refines its models, aiming to keep precision high over time while maintaining a very low false-positive rate, with kernel-level hooks and embedded intelligence traps integrated into the device’s runtime architecture.

The live dashboard shown in the video visualizes real-time attack traffic hitting AST sensors around the world, including large streams of traffic originating from regions such as China and targeting decoy assets and customer infrastructures. Daniel mentions a concrete case where their stack intercepted a Microsoft SharePoint zero-day around 45 days before public disclosure, preventing exploitation across client deployments by distributing the corresponding countermeasure globally. This demonstration was recorded at Embedded World North America 2025, giving context for how such preemptive threat intelligence can be integrated into embedded and edge-focused device design workflows in a very practical way for engineering teams working close to hardware and firmware.

Advanced Security Technologies is headquartered in Serbia with a legal entity in Singapore and a compact team of about 15 mostly backend engineers focusing on patented components like their AI-powered self-learning firewall engine for IoT, threat-intelligence backend and deception infrastructure. NanoFirewall is offered as Linux software for Yocto or other embedded distributions, as a plug-and-play gateway appliance and as a C-level module for deeply constrained devices, making it relevant for OEMs, industrial automation vendors and operators of critical infrastructure that are looking for strategic partners to embed preemptive cyber defence directly into their products from the start rather than bolting it on later in the product lifecycle growth

At the core of the product is an eco shopping assistant and search layer that sits on top of existing ecommerce sites and Google results. When you view a product, the assistant helps you compare it with more sustainable alternatives and highlights brands that are actively “giving back” through Environmates campaigns. A built-in crowdfunding engine then lets those brands structure impact campaigns, direct offers to users, and route a share of advertising or affiliate revenue straight into verified environmental projects, closing the loop between media spend, consumer engagement and climate funding.

Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, this conversation focuses on Environmates as infrastructure for grassroots climate action rather than just another green app. Founder and CEO Simon Roberts explains how his previous exit in analytics exposed a funding gap for local environmental initiatives that could not scale on generic platforms like GoFundMe. Environmates is designed to remove friction by standardising campaign setup, automating impact payments from browsing revenue and giving small projects digital tooling that previously only larger organisations enjoyed.

On the ground, that translates into very concrete use cases: urban rewilding schemes, beehive installations, community gardens, pond restoration and bird habitat projects in places like London. Project owners can launch a campaign within minutes, broadcast it to nearby users, and then grow a base of recurring micro-contributors rather than one-off donors. The platform also includes a volunteering flow so supporters can register to show up in person for work days, bringing a social layer and real-world community building into what starts as a digital experience.

Technically, Environmates combines a rewards-style browser, an eco shopping recommendation engine, geolocated project discovery and a lightweight impact-funding dashboard for brands and project creators. The app is already live in beta on iOS and Android, and the team is using this phase to refine the revenue-sharing model with early partners, founders and investors. The aim is to make it as effortless as possible for anyone—from a small neighbourhood group to a global brand—to turn everyday browsing and shopping into a steady, transparent stream of environmental support.

In the interview, Glendeal’s co-founder walks through the live interface: real Ukrainian farmers are already posting multi-hundred-ton lots with negotiable prices per ton, contract terms and delivery basis, while buyers respond via an integrated chat that keeps all negotiation and documentation in one place. Subscription tiers, ranging roughly from 20 to 100 dollars per month, give farmers, traders and brokers access to posting, matching and communication tools, turning the marketplace into a software-as-a-service workflow rather than a simple listing board. This setup is meant to replace fragmented phone and email negotiations with a structured, auditable transaction workflow.

Set against the backdrop of Ukraine’s role as a major “breadbasket” exporter, the conversation also touches on security of contracts and logistics under wartime conditions. Glendeal positions legal support and vetted logistics partners as part of its value proposition, helping counterparties reduce fraud risk and coordinate shipments out of the country despite infrastructure constraints. Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the video shows how the team uses this international stage to explain their model to investors and partners while demonstrating that cross-border deals are already happening on the platform.

Beyond individual deals, Glendeal frames itself as a digital B2B platform for agribusiness that unites farmers, brokers, traders, buyers and service providers on a single marketplace, with dedicated flows for each role and multi-language access across Europe and beyond.([itukraine.org.ua][1]) The founder highlights users from Romania, Italy, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and of course Ukraine, underlining that the technology is not limited to one corridor but can be replicated in other agricultural regions. By aggregating supply and demand data, the platform can also evolve into a source of market intelligence on pricing, volumes and preferred contract terms across crops and geographies, strengthening the surrounding ecosystem.

The business model is deliberately simple: everyone who uses the marketplace pays a modest monthly subscription, while the company focuses on scaling the number of active farmers and buyers rather than taking a large cut of every shipment. For investors and partners at the conference, Glendeal presents itself as infrastructure for digitising grain trade: standardising contracts, centralising communication, and making it easier for small and mid-sized producers to access export markets directly. The result, if adopted at scale, is a more transparent and data-driven way to move Ukrainian and international harvests into global trade.

Streaam is a Danish SaaS platform built as “360° sustainability for the SME,” combining energy optimisation, ESG data management and documentation in one environment. Its core recommendation engine merges third-party data (e.g. energy factors, building profiles, tariffs) with company inputs to generate concrete actions across electricity, heating, ventilation, water usage, procurement and non-energy factors such as behaviour and waste. The typical Streaam course reduces scope 1 emissions by an estimated 10–30% for a small or medium-sized enterprise, equivalent to around one tonne of CO2 in the first year and 7–12 tonnes over a multi-year horizon. https://www.streaam.dk/en/

The platform targets SMEs, which account for a large share of industrial greenhouse-gas emissions but often lack internal sustainability competences, budgets for consultants or familiarity with ESG frameworks. Streaam structures the decarbonisation journey into thematic modules: energy systems (electricity, heat, ventilation), water management, production processes, logistics, supply chain, employee behaviour, waste and branding. Each module connects operational data with greenhouse-gas accounting, so that low-cost interventions—such as reducing baseload at night, tightening operating schedules or changing staff routines—can be prioritised using clear impact estimates on CO2, kWh and operating expenditure.

Technically, Streaam acts as a central data layer where optimisation and ESG reporting use the same dataset. The recommendation engine surfaces personalised measures for each company profile, rather than generic checklists, so a production site, an office-based firm and a service business see different roadmaps. On top, a reporting module turns this data into structured ESG output aligned with European sustainability expectations, reducing duplicate work between operational teams and compliance officers. For SMEs, this lowers the barrier to producing bank-ready and customer-requested ESG documentation while keeping the primary focus on measurable efficiency gains.

In this interview, recorded at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Streaam’s founder explains how the platform fits into the evolving ESG and CSRD landscape, where large customers increasingly require suppliers to document emissions and climate action. A consumption dashboard with anomaly detection alerts highlights abnormal electricity use at night or unexpected spikes in heat or water, prompting investigation before costs and emissions accumulate. The typical SME user invests roughly ten hours per month over six to seven months, then one to three extra days to finalise ESG reporting for larger customers—turning ad-hoc spreadsheets into an ongoing, data-driven process.

Streaam scales through partnerships: utilities, banks and other intermediaries pay for a “golden licence” that lets them offer the platform free to their SME customers for a period, aligning sustainability services with their own green-financing or renewable-energy strategies. In Denmark, a proof of concept already onboards around fifty new companies per week, and the team is now looking for partners across Europe. For many SMEs, the recommendations focus first on low- or no-cost measures and behavioural change, creating a practical entry point into the green transition before investing in larger CAPEX projects like building retrofits or electrified fleets.

At the core of the product is an AI-driven content engine that generates post ideas, captions and full content calendars, then schedules them over days, weeks or months. Users can preview, edit, delete or reschedule any suggestion, so the human remains in control while the system handles repetitive operational tasks like timing, cross-posting and queue management. BrandVoiz also supports automated reactions and replies, turning engagement workflows into configurable, brand-safe automations instead of generic bots.

In this interview filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, CEO and founder Khairi Brahmi walks through a role-based dashboard where the same data can be viewed differently by a CEO, a marketer or a brand manager. Each view exposes KPIs that matter to that role, from high-level reach and growth metrics to engagement rate, content performance and funnel-oriented indicators. Real-time interaction monitoring lets users see how posts, comments and campaigns perform and how the AI agents are contributing to the growth of each social profile.

One of the more distinctive features is a conversational interface that connects to your brand’s pages via Telegram or Facebook chat. Instead of digging through analytics menus, you can simply ask questions like “How many reactions did we get yesterday?” or “How many posts went out today?” and get structured answers. The same chat interface can be used to schedule posts by text or voice, for example asking to “schedule a post for next week about Web Summit” and letting the agent generate and program it directly, using a fine-tuned model that reflects each brand’s tone, guidelines and profile settings.

BrandVoiz follows a subscription-based business model with tiered plans (starter, pro and enterprise) supplemented by credit-based top-ups for heavier usage or extra scheduled content. The startup launched its product in early 2025 and is currently running beta programs with initial customers in Tunisia while exploring custom plans for organisations that only need a subset of features. At Web Summit, the team is using early traction and live demos to engage prospective clients and investors as they prepare to scale their AI marketing automation platform beyond their home market.

At the technical level, the team provides a file-centric encryption product, Q-Files, which applies quantum-resistant algorithms to any type of document or binary, integrating with existing storage, DMS, and collaboration tools rather than forcing organisations to re-architect their infrastructure. On top of that, they design crypto-agility roadmaps: inventorying legacy RSA and elliptic-curve usages, defining hybrid schemes that combine classical and PQC algorithms, and aligning with NIST and ETSI guidance on post-quantum key encapsulation and digital signatures. This allows customers to introduce quantum-safe schemes into PKI, VPN, TLS termination, backups, and archive workflows in a controlled migration path rather than via risky big-bang replacement.

Beyond the product itself, Quantum Computing Solutions offers embedded engineering teams who work inside large organisations to assess risk, define a post-quantum security architecture, and implement sector-specific migration projects for finance, public sector, and critical infrastructure operators. Their medium-term vision is to turn that consulting playbook into a SaaS platform: a set of network-aware sensors and orchestration tools that automatically discover cryptographic assets, classify sensitivity, propose PQC policies, and progressively roll out quantum-safe configurations with continuous monitoring and reporting rather than relying only on manual audits.

This interview was recorded at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, where the founding team of engineers represented the Valencia startup pavilion and showcased how a regional deep-tech company can plug into the broader European post-quantum standardisation and funding landscape, including collaborations with institutions such as UPV, INCIBE and StartupValencia ([QCSolutions][2]). The conversation underlines a pragmatic message: organisations do not need a physical quantum computer to start acting; they need a clear cryptographic inventory, a staged PQC migration plan, and tools that make quantum-safe security a routine part of their cybersecurity and compliance strategy rather than a distant research topic.

Their gateway and API-first architecture plug into platforms such as Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop, while joint merchant–payabl tech squads handle the integration work so that funds move reliably from the customer’s bank account to the merchant’s settlement account.

Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the conversation dives into what “making money flow” means in practice: supporting local account-to-account methods like iDEAL in the Netherlands, EPS in Austria or MyBank in Italy alongside Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, and combining them with strict KYC, AML and fraud-monitoring controls. payabl emphasises approval rates and risk management over pure price competition, using 3D Secure, chargeback monitoring and robust compliance checks to protect both merchants and end users.

Looking ahead, Fabio touches on emerging use cases such as one-click purchasing directly from web streams or video platforms, where contextual checkout overlays could turn any piece of content into a commerce surface. That vision aligns with payabl’s broader roadmap: multi-currency payment accounts with SEPA Instant and SWIFT for cross-border flows, research into checkout friction and abandonment, and partnerships with major e-commerce ecosystems to keep payments orchestration, reconciliation and cash-flow visibility in a single environment for merchants.

In this video Stafford explains how hiring teams configure role-specific selection flows: for each vacancy they can combine soft-skill inventories, cognitive ability tests, language and coding assessments, situational judgement tests and hard-skill modules into one candidate journey. An AI assistant helps recruiters design these flows, but the underlying scores come from validated psychological assessments rather than opaque generative models, so results remain explainable and defensible in practice.

Candidates always enter through the employer’s own talent pool; Selection Lab does no sourcing but ranks applicants already in process to show who best fits the role, typically automating around 70% of the screening workload. To reduce gaming and faking, each competence is probed with multiple items, consistency checks and response-pattern analytics, and optional remote proctoring can capture screen and webcam activity to confirm that a real human completed the tests without outside help.

Recorded at Web Summit Lisbon 2025 in the KPMG Tech Innovator finals, the conversation also touches on Selection Lab’s scale-up ambitions, from its Dutch base into Scandinavia, Belgium, Germany and the US. Stafford frames the platform as decision support rather than a replacement for human judgment: recruiters and hiring managers still run live interviews, but they do so armed with structured insights into competencies, values and predicted job performance, aiming for fewer mishires, higher retention and a more transparent experience for candidates and employers alike.

At the heart of the rack is a closed-loop liquid cooling circuit that can be connected directly to outside heat-rejection equipment without necessarily requiring a separate cooling distribution unit (CDU). The system shows how fan-wall assisted heat exchangers capture server exhaust heat, move it through a warm-water loop via variable-speed pumps, and track performance with inline flow and temperature sensing. By supporting elevated water temperatures compatible with dry coolers or high-efficiency chillers, the design allows high-density racks to run with much lower dependence on traditional air-based cooling infrastructure.

A key part of the story is Siemens’ digital twin environment, which uses CFD and thermo-fluid simulation combined with electrical and building models to predict capacity, power consumption, and PUE before ground is broken on a new facility. Operators can evaluate full-immersion, direct-to-chip, hybrid liquid–air architectures and different heat-rejection topologies, then compare layouts, operating temperatures and control strategies inside a virtual data center model. Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 (SC25) in St. Louis, this walkthrough shows how those executable digital twins shorten design cycles and de-risk large AI data center investments.

The rack on the show floor also highlights partner technologies: ZeroKelvin cold plates for direct-to-chip heat extraction, NNDC’s expertise in data center liquid cooling architectures, and Nortek Data Center Cooling equipment for in-row or CDU-based deployments. Siemens’ control stack orchestrates these components so that pumps, valves and heat exchangers operate at optimal setpoints while maintaining safe chip junction temperatures and minimizing total energy draw. That partner model lets customers mix and match hardware vendors while still using a unified controls and simulation layer for their liquid-cooled estates.

Finally, the discussion touches on sustainability and lifecycle economics: closed warm-water loops reduce or even eliminate evaporative cooling, cutting water use and enabling deployment in regions where water is scarce but land and renewable power are available. By analyzing scenarios such as “CDU vs direct loop,” “air-assisted vs full liquid,” or “heat reuse into district heating,” the Siemens toolchain helps operators trade off capex, opex, carbon intensity and grid constraints before deploying large GPU clusters. The result is a reference architecture for liquid-cooled AI data centers that seeks to balance density, efficiency, and environmental impact over the full project lifetime.

The tour starts with overhead Starline-style busway distributing high-voltage power above the white space, so cabinets can be added, moved or decommissioned without rewiring under the floor. That same busway feeds Legrand’s OCP ORV3 cabinets and power shelves, with 1RU and 2RU shelves that convert AC into DC for IT loads and tie directly into a vertical DC busbar at the rear of the rack. Combined with the intelligent rack PDUs from the Server Technology and Raritan brands, Legrand positions itself as a major player in vertical power distribution and per-outlet metering at scale.

Cooling is handled by a rear-door heat exchanger mounted directly behind the cabinet, pulling hot exhaust air through a liquid-cooled door. In the interview they quote up to 200 kW of rack cooling capacity, which lines up with Legrand’s ColdLogik rear-door cooler portfolio aimed at high-density AI and HPC racks. Rear-door systems sit between air and direct-to-chip liquid cooling, letting operators raise supply temperatures, shrink chiller loads and still manage the thermal footprint of dense GPU nodes without completely redesigning the room.

On the connectivity side, Legrand emphasizes structured cabling and new “direct mating” fiber architectures. Instead of traditional cassettes, Infinium acclAIM style VSFF connectors mate patchcords directly to trunks, increasing density and reducing insertion loss in the link budget. The portfolio spans copper, fiber trunks up to 288 fibers, and a programmable optics line with transceivers, DACs and AOCs designed for spine–leaf fabrics and storage backbones. The goal is to keep passive infrastructure ready for 400G and 800G transitions while cleaning up patching complexity in crowded racks.

Finally they touch on out-of-band and monitoring, referring to a “ZU” or out-of-band platform that ties mission-critical IT resources together for secure remote access. That aligns with Legrand’s integration of ZPE Systems’ Nodegrid out-of-band management into its data center stack, combining serial console, remote power control and telemetry in one control plane. The interview closes by situating Legrand as a French-headquartered, globally manufactured group that delivers power, light and data to where people live and work, with data centers now a key growth area. This walkthrough was recorded at Supercomputing 2025 (SC25) in St Louis, where Legrand uses the booth as a live reference design for AI-ready data center infrastructure.

Recorded at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, the demo highlights an ASMB-818 server board inside the HPC-7420 4U short-depth chassis, populated with SiMa.ai cards to reach around 80 concurrent video streams of real-time AI inference for object detection and tracking. This design combines DDR5 memory expansion, multiple PCIe 5.0 slots and compact mechanical depth so the same platform can slide into shallow edge racks or wall-mount enclosures in existing facilities, without the plumbing overhead of direct-to-chip liquid cooling.

Singh then moves up the stack to larger EATX and dual-socket AMD and Intel platforms, showing how Advantech extends the same design philosophy into systems that can host up to six GPUs in a short-depth chassis, with 16 or 32 DIMM slots for high-capacity DDR5. These platforms are tuned for AI inference, data acquisition and streaming workloads at the network edge, where deterministic latency, ruggedized builds and remote-management hooks often matter more than squeezing in another couple of hundred watts of accelerator TDP.

A 2U NVIDIA MGX-compliant GPU server such as the SKY-622G4 illustrates how Advantech bridges edge and core data-center requirements: dual Intel Xeon 6 processors, 32 DDR5 ECC RDIMMs, up to four dual-slot GPUs including RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell or H200/H100 NVL parts, plus redundant 6000 W PSUs and high-bandwidth networking for scale-out clusters. Around these hardware building blocks, Advantech leverages its position as a leading industrial PC vendor with extensive customization, from FDA-related and medical certifications to military-grade environmental testing, so OEMs can take MGX and edge AI reference designs and turn them into deployable, certified products in demanding vertical markets.

MSI uses this interview to show how its long history in graphics and client hardware is now feeding a serious push into data-center and AI infrastructure. At the booth, they focus on NVIDIA MGX-based GPU servers populated with RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition accelerators, eight GPUs per node tied into NVIDIA CX8 networking for eight 400 GbE ports, giving dense, rack-scale inference throughput for enterprises that want to run their own language models rather than relying purely on public cloud. ([MSI][1]) These PCIe-based accelerators with 96 GB of GDDR7 per card sit in systems tuned by NVIDIA’s MGX reference design, so thermals, power delivery and PCIe lane topology are pre-balanced for sustained AI workloads. https://www.msi.com/Landing/NVIDIA-MGX

The conversation dives into how an 8× RTX Pro 6000 MGX server becomes a 7–8 kW box, implying 40–50 kW per rack when fully populated, and why that profile is ideal for high-volume inference, light training and fine-tuning of LLMs. By combining passive 600 W GPUs with CX8-class networking and 400 GbE QSFP ports, MSPs and large enterprises can build clusters that saturate NVLink-to-NIC bandwidth without resorting to HGX-class systems, at a lower total cost of ownership but still with data-center-grade density and reliability. This positions MSI squarely in the sweet spot for customers who want to bring agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation and high-throughput model serving onto their own infrastructure.

A key highlight is MSI’s Grace Blackwell GB300 workstation, marketed as the CT60-class AI Station, which essentially brings DGX-level architecture under a desk. It combines an NVIDIA Grace ARM CPU with a B300 Blackwell GPU on a single module, linked over NVLink-C2C into one coherent memory space, with LPDDR5X on the CPU and HBM3e on the GPU adding up to roughly 784 GB of unified memory. That enables developers to fit very large language models into a single address space for experimentation, fine-tuning and evaluation without sharding across multiple GPUs. MSI plans to ship this as a 1.6 kW water-cooled workstation, quiet enough for an office yet packed with four M.2 NVMe slots and dual 400 GbE ports, so code and models can be developed locally and then pushed unchanged to full GB300/HDX deployments in the cloud.

For teams that don’t need GB300-class memory footprints, MSI also shows the EdgeXpert system built on NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell “Spark” platform. This compact edge box pairs a 20-core Grace CPU with a smaller Blackwell GPU and 128 GB of unified memory, targeting about a petaFLOP of FP4 AI performance in a desktop-friendly form factor. It’s aimed at local prototyping, on-prem inference and edge deployments where developers want the same Grace-Blackwell software stack they use in the data center, but in a lower-power box that can sit under a desk. Seen together with the larger AI Station, the St. Louis SC25 booth story is really about giving AI teams a continuum from compact GB10 nodes through GB300 workstations up to full MGX server racks.

The tour closes on MSI’s broader server roadmap: OCP OpenRack V3 21-inch racks with 48 V busbars and centralized power shelves, plus DC-MHS host processor modules that let the same chassis accept Intel Xeon 6900/6700 or AMD Turin EPYC CPUs. Extended-volume air coolers (EVAC) allow them to air-cool 500 W CPUs with very low fan power, which matters once racks cross the 17 kW threshold. MSI’s representative notes that, outside NVIDIA’s Grace-based platforms, customer demand for ARM servers is still limited, so most of their modular boards focus on x86 today. But with MGX GPU nodes, Grace Blackwell workstations and OCP-ready compute sleds, MSI is clearly positioning itself as a scalable player in high-performance and AI computing rather than just a consumer PC brand.

On the memory side, Micron highlights its 1-gamma DRAM node, built with EUV lithography to deliver more than 30% higher bit density, lower power and higher speed than the previous 1-beta generation, and deployed across HBM3/HBM4 stacks, DDR5 RDIMMs and high-capacity MRDIMMs. The same technology underpins record-setting STAC-A2 and STAC-M4 benchmark systems for quantitative finance, where millisecond-level gains in risk calculations and tick-by-tick analytics can translate directly into trading edge.

The discussion then moves to CXL-based disaggregated memory: a chassis populated with Micron CXL memory cards behind an XCON switch, exposing around 15 TB of pooled capacity that can be shared across four servers. This creates a near-memory, main-memory and expansion-memory hierarchy, with access latency rising from roughly 100 ns on local DRAM to about 450 ns over CXL, still around 10× faster than going out to SSDs while offering far more capacity than on-board DIMM slots. That extra tier is presented as a way to keep data-hungry HPC and AI workloads in memory longer, reducing trips to storage while matching capacity to the economics of each application.

On the storage side, Micron shows its PCIe Gen6 9650 NVMe SSDs alongside a broad Gen5 data-center portfolio aimed at AI clusters and exascale storage. The Gen6 drives push up to roughly 28 GB/s sequential read bandwidth and 5.5 million random read IOPS in EDSFF E1.S and E3.S form factors, while the new 6600 ION QLC family targets capacity tiers with 122 TB today and 245 TB per drive on the roadmap, all built on G9 276-layer 3D NAND that scales from TLC to QLC depending on endurance and cost per bit.

Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 in St Louis, the conversation closes on system-level design: how ultra-dense SSDs can collapse racks of nearline HDDs into a few EDSFF enclosures, cutting power, cooling and floor space, and how enterprise endurance ratings of multiple drive writes per day over five years intersect with real-world bandwidth limits so that drives are rarely worn out. The Micron team also touches on GPU-direct storage paths that send data from NVMe through PCIe switches straight to accelerators, sustaining hundreds of millions of IOPS per server and keeping expensive compute silicon busy instead of idle.

The tour then highlights a self-contained liquid-cooled EPYC 9005 workstation designed for quiet, desk-side AI and media workloads. CPU, memory, PSU and up to four GPUs sit on a closed DLC loop with radiator, pump and fans engineered to keep acoustic noise around 50 dB while sustaining full load. Front NVMe bays, optional M.2 boot devices, 10GbE networking and BMC remote management turn it into a compact studio or lab node for AI model development, 3D rendering or video post-production without needing data center plumbing. Filmed at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis, it shows how far workstation-class hardware has moved toward data center-class thermals.

On the memory side, Giga Computing shows a 48-DIMM 1U/2U EPYC 9005 platform, delivering up to multiple terabytes of DDR5 in a single node. With two DIMMs per channel and dual-socket CPUs, this class of server targets in-memory databases, caching tiers, large analytics workloads and virtualization clusters that are memory-bound rather than GPU-bound. Nearby, an 8U HGX/OAM tray separates compute and GPU tiers, supporting NVIDIA B200/B300 or AMD Instinct MI350/MI355X accelerators, with PLX switches, NVLink/NVSwitch topologies and dense front I/O tuned for training and inference clusters.

For smaller AI clusters or visualization backends, the booth introduces the NVIDIA MGX-based XL44-SX2 system populated with up to eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. A built-in ConnectX-8 PCIe Gen6 switchboard with multiple QSFP 400G ports ties GPUs and network together, each CX8 ASIC wired to two GPUs and two ports, mirroring HGX-style topologies in a more compact chassis. Dual Intel Xeon 6700/6500 CPUs, dense DDR5, Gen5 NVMe bays and BlueField-3 DPU options make this platform relevant for generative AI, 3D pipelines and scientific computing in SMB data centers that don’t yet need full rack-scale Blackwell deployments.

At rack scale, Giga Computing showcases the fully liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 architecture: 18 compute nodes with Blackwell Ultra B300 GPUs and Grace CPUs, nine NVLink switch trays, CDUs at the base and an OCP Open Rack busbar spine. All 72 GPUs are interconnected via NVLink so the rack behaves like a single accelerator, while facility water loops attach to the CDU heat exchangers. The tour finishes with PCIe GPU servers for H200-class GPUs, RTX PRO 6000 and Intel Gaudi 3, Xeon 6 platforms with CXL memory expansion, and AmpereOne-based servers optimized for high-core-count ARM inference. Together with the GPM management software layer for Kubernetes, Slurm and MLOps orchestration, the booth underlines Giga Computing’s push toward dense, liquid-cooled, rack-ready AI and HPC infrastructure.

At Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Vera Santos demonstrates how Carma has built a dedicated dashboard for the conference that refreshes every 30 minutes and tracks everything being said about the event worldwide. Organisers, sponsors and exhibitors can see in real time which outlets are covering them, which regions are driving mentions, how stories evolve over the day and how their presence compares with peers, all from a single, shared interface fed by live crawlers and analysts.

Beyond this specific deployment, the video walks through Carma’s broader service stack: continuous media monitoring, customised consultancy, campaign and reputation measurement and market research integrations. The company works with clients across financial services, automotive, ESG, FMCG and government, mapping audience journeys and evaluating how communications strategy performs across the full PESO media mix, from traditional editorial to social media and blogs.

Technically, Carma operates a hybrid pipeline that blends large-scale crawlers with human-curated reading lists to capture relevant coverage from online news, TV and radio, newsletters, blogs and user-generated content. AI models assist with language detection, topic and entity classification, sentiment analysis, tonality, influence scoring and crisis flagging, while human coders refine the edge cases so that dashboards, alerts and executive briefings remain accurate enough for board-level reporting.

The platform focuses on what is organically said about brands, products and organisations on channels such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit and local forums, separating paid placements from earned visibility. PR and communications teams use Carma’s reporting to demonstrate impact, attribute outcomes to campaigns, benchmark performance over time and adjust strategy during crises or major launches, underpinned by methodologies recognised with 31 awards at the 2025 AMEC Measurement and Evaluation Awards.([CARMA][2])

Recorded at Embedded World North America in Anaheim, the conversation highlights how Renesas scales the same RZ/V vision AI platform from compact camera modules to full robotic systems, combining convolutional-neural-network inference with classic computer-vision preprocessing on chip. This enables responsive gesture HMI, people and object detection, and crowd-density estimation at the edge without active cooling, in line with recent RZ/V2H and RZ/V2N devices that pair DRP-AI3 engines with quad Arm Cortex-A55 application processors for demanding workloads in deployment.

The tour then shifts to the sensor portfolio, starting from impedance-based touch sensing embedded into a robotic lawn-mower style handlebar that can detect one or two hands, slider-type interactions and virtual buttons for speed or mode control. Under the hood, Renesas capacitive and impedance sensors measure tiny changes in capacitance and electrical impedance to implement robust touch and touchless HMIs, a technique the company also showcases in hand-on and steering-wheel detection demos for automotive safety and industrial controls, all running on a unified platform.

Finally, walks through inductive position-sensing demos that show how PCB-coil-based, magnet-free IPS-class sensors track the relative position of metal targets and motor shafts inside a robotic joint, providing high-resolution angle feedback with strong immunity to stray magnetic fields compared with traditional resolvers. Combined with compact impedance-sensing evaluation boards and the broader Renesas embedded hardware–software ecosystem, these building blocks give engineers a coherent path from evaluation kits to production-grade humanoid robotics and collaborative automation hardware.

One focus in the video is an indoor air-quality and classroom environment monitor initially developed for New Zealand’s education sector. Virscient designed the complete system, combining a Nordic-based cellular module, Bluetooth connectivity, and a low-power e-ink display with multi-year battery life while continuously sampling temperature, humidity, CO₂ and acoustic noise levels. Data is streamed securely to a cloud backend and exposed through dashboards and a Bluetooth companion app, enabling facility managers and school leaders to assess comfort, ventilation and acoustic conditions, and to correlate those parameters with attendance, well-being and academic learning.

From there the discussion shifts to vehicular telemetry and active suspension control. For Fox’s off-road and e-bike suspension business, Virscient built the electronics and software that tap the vehicle ECU over CAN bus, stream shock and motion data in real time, and expose configuration profiles such as on-road, trail or desert with comfort, balanced and sport modes. That same data is mirrored to the cloud and to a Bluetooth mobile app, enabling parameter logging, remote diagnostics and potentially over-the-air tuning of damping strategies for pickup trucks and other off-road platforms, linking embedded firmware, RF links and backend analytics into a single data path for control and telemetry.

Another demo centres on marine lighting for luxury yachts, where bulkheads and hull construction make traditional cabling impractical. Virscient implemented a proprietary Bluetooth mesh-style network with secure commissioning, group addressing and scene control so that entire lighting zones can be reconfigured from a tablet app with one tap. By simplifying the mesh topology relative to the standard Bluetooth Mesh specification and optimising for low latency and robust RF behaviour in reflective marine environments, they achieve responsive, fine-grained control of colour, brightness and dynamic patterns across the vessel’s interior and exterior lighting.

The final part of the conversation touches on how broadly this model applies: Virscient’s 40–50 engineers work on everything from geospatial positioning equipment to dairy-farm telemetry that tracks milk production and feed intake per cow, as well as wireless audio, ultra-low-latency links and multi-radio coexistence for complex IoT products. Their licensable software platforms for embedded connectivity and wireless audio, combined with partnerships around Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo ICs and Bluetooth Audio SoCs, allow OEMs to add Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, cellular IoT, GNSS, LoRa or 802.15.4 to constrained devices without building RF, protocol stacks and certification expertise in-house, shortening time to market for connected hardware across industrial, consumer and automotive deployment.

Astra AI is building a dedicated one-on-one tutoring platform around large language models for school and university learners, turning an AI chatbot into a structured study companion across math, physics, chemistry and other subjects. Students interact through a conversational interface but always within the context of homework help, step-by-step explanations and targeted exam preparation, accessible on web, iOS and Android devices for everyday study.

At the core of Astra AI are two pillars: subject tutors and Exam Prep. Learners can talk to an AI tutor for math, physics, chemistry and more, or generate a custom exam preparation plan by selecting a subject, setting the exam date and mastery goal, and uploading their own materials such as class notes, past tests or slides. The system uses this corpus plus the student’s declared school level to tailor the difficulty, sequence of problems and explanations to their curriculum and context.

In this interview, filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the team walks through the interface: a chat-centric workspace with a math keyboard, calculator, drawing area and camera input so you can snap a photo of a problem. Students can switch between Solver Mode, which focuses on efficient step-by-step solutions, and Socratic Mode, which behaves more like a human tutor, asking guiding questions and probing understanding rather than just emitting final answers in a vacuum.

Astra AI follows a freemium model: new users can register and use the tutor with a daily question limit and then upgrade to a subscription (around €24 per month or €120 per year) for unrestricted usage. According to the team, the platform has attracted more than 600,000 learners, starting from Slovenia and now growing quickly in German-speaking markets, with specialized offerings such as Astra IB Math for International Baccalaureate exam preparation across standard and higher level tracks.

Compared with general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT, Astra AI positions itself as an education-first layer on top of modern language models, optimizing for pedagogy rather than open-ended conversation. The discussion touches on challenges such as keeping students motivated, using light gamification, and designing UX that encourages regular returns to the app, whether on a phone, laptop or even e-paper style tablets like Daylight Computer, pointing toward a future where having a personal AI tutor is as normal as using a calculator in study.

PLLUM is presented here as a national family of Polish large language models designed specifically for public administration and Polish-speaking users, rather than as a general-purpose global chatbot. The models focus on correct Polish grammar, inflection and official terminology, minimizing negative transfer from English while staying compatible with modern transformer-based LLM architectures. They are released with open model weights so organizations can deploy them on-premise, adapt them to sector-specific use cases and integrate them into existing e-government workflows; more background on the project is available at https://pllum.org.pl/

Technically, PLLUM is a suite of transformer and mixture-of-experts models in the roughly 8–70B parameter range, including Mistral/Mixtral-derived variants such as PLLuM-12B and PLLuM-8x7B as well as Llama-based models and fully Polish-pretrained networks. Training relies on a large corpus dominated by Polish texts, enriched with selected Slavic/Baltic languages and some English, then refined through continuous pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, instruction tuning and preference optimization. The team evaluates linguistic and cultural competence with dedicated Polish benchmarks and focuses on high-quality “organic” data rather than unchecked web scrapes to maintain reliability in administration-heavy domains in Poland.

In the interview, Philip explains how PLLUM underpins Poland’s strategy for AI sovereignty: ministries can run the models on local infrastructure, keep personal and sensitive data within the country and avoid sending internal documents to foreign cloud APIs. The same models will power assistants in governmental systems such as the widely used mObywatel mobile app, enabling citizens to ask administrative questions in natural Polish and get answers grounded in official regulations. Recorded at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, the conversation frames PLLUM as a blueprint for language-and-country-specific LLM deployment rather than a clone of generic global chatbots, emphasizing governance, licensing and data control in this discussion.

PLLUM’s development mixes open European base models with entirely home-grown training runs: the team uses Mistral, Mixtral and Llama-style foundations for some variants, while also training models from random initialization on carefully curated Polish and Polish–English corpora. On top of that, they experiment with synthetic data generation, using other open models (including Chinese systems like DeepSeek or Qwen) on their own infrastructure to expand datasets while preserving control over quality and legal provenance. The resulting chat models are published with both permissive and non-commercial licenses, and the weights are available on Hugging Face so enterprises, municipalities and research labs can build their own domain-specific assistants within this ecosystem.

Philip also highlights the scale of the consortium behind PLLUM: more than a hundred people across six scientific institutions, spanning model engineering, linguistics and large annotation teams focused on clean administrative data. The project already counts around a million public prompts from early users, with upcoming deployments expected to reach millions of citizens as chatbots are rolled into local offices and nationwide services. Future work extends beyond text: speech recognition and text-to-speech are in testing, and there is clear interest in Polish-speaking voice interfaces and, eventually, avatar-style agents, turning PLLUM into a full-stack foundation for sovereign AI services across the Polish digital landscape.
