Advex AI AI, co-founded by Pedro Pachuca and Qasim Wani, has closed a $3.5M seed round led by Construct Capital, with Pear VC, Emerson Collective, and angels like Dropbox's Arash Ferdowsi. A TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield Finalist, Advex is redefining AI Vision for manufacturing with GenAI-powered data synthesis, turning months of data collection into hours. With seven global manufacturers already onboard, Advex’s platform enables rapid, production-grade automation, addressing labor shortages in critical industries. https://lnkd.in/eeUpGxRp #AIVision #Manufacturing #Automation #TechCrunchDisrupt #AdvexAI #SeedFunding Dayna Grayson

We’re living in an exciting time, with so many media options at our fingertips. Even though I’m constantly on the road, I have multiple ways to keep up with what’s happening in tech and #AI. Like many, I’ve got favorite podcasts, news feeds, and people I follow here. And it’s funny, when I do meet with people, those are some of the questions I get asked the most: What do you read? Who do you follow?   I thought, why not start collecting some of the most interesting things each week in a short note? Maybe you’ll find them useful. For me, I have a habit of looking for patterns in different pieces of information. This “AI alchemy,” of sorts, can lead to new perspectives. Maybe it will for you, too. But maybe it won’t, we shall see...   As we watch AI transform industries, I’m excited by the work being conducted around data in critical areas, from #agentics, to #datacenter optimization, and even the blending of #AI and human activity. This TechCrunch story https://lnkd.in/gscnXnpS explains how start-up Advex AI is working to help companies solve the data “fullness” challenge by leveraging #GenAI and synthetic data to help customers train their computer vision systems – an area I think will continue to evolve and grow. Here are some others that caught my eye this week... ·  We learned of Untether AI’s new speedAI 240 Slim AI inference accelerator cards https://lnkd.in/guyq5_tK. I think the company rightly states that the gradual shift of AI from training to inference is going to demand greater performance at the edge of the enterprise where latency and costs can take a hit. ·  This report from McKinsey & Company https://lnkd.in/gqpr6WMU underscored the importance of agents today and into the future. ·  Salesforce's Marc Benioff said he expects his new Agentforce platform to revolutionize enterprise applications and customer interactions thanks in large part to its AI-driven agentic layers. https://lnkd.in/gE8MfgrS ·  And, the Simons Foundation reported on a key finding from Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) about how researchers used a classical computer and sophisticated mathematical models to outperform a quantum computer. https://lnkd.in/gZDSMhiY   Exciting times, indeed! Till next week… Hitachi Digital Hitachi Digital Services GlobalLogic
