Narada Launches Next-Generation AIDC Backup Power System AIOn X-Rate

Zhejiang Narada Power Source Co., Ltd — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:23:16 +0900

Breakthrough Technology Redefines Energy for the High-Compute Era

HANGZHOU, China, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid the deep integration of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data, global AIDC is entering a phase of explosive growth. Behind the surge in computing power lies an exponential rise in power density, near-zero tolerance for power interruption, and an ever-increasing demand for ultimate energy efficiency.

On April 1, Narada launched its next-generation backup power system designed specifically for AIDC applications — AIOn X-Rate. Featuring end-to-end innovations from cell materials to system architecture, the solution redefines the energy foundation of the computing era with three core advantages: ultra-high power, extreme safety, and long-life cycling.

Power First: Millisecond-Level Response at 10C Ultra-High Rate

With AIDC racks often experiencing load fluctuations exceeding 100kW, power performance has become the key benchmark for backup systems. AIOn X-Rate delivers a major breakthrough in this dimension.

The system adopts lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells engineered for high-power scenarios, supporting 10C ultra-high-rate discharge with zero-delay response, while maintaining comparable discharge capability between 10C and 1C — demonstrating exceptional rate performance.

Driven by material innovation, a single cabinet achieves power output exceeding 600kW, with cell power density surpassing 1900 W/kg, enabling massive energy release within extremely short durations. The system also delivers outstanding pulse cycle performance, exceeding 200,000 cyclesunder 500 ms pulse discharge, matching the ultra-high-frequency regulation demands of AIDC environments.

At the material level, AIOn X-Rate incorporates high-entropy electrolytes technology, reconstructing the solvation structure to reduce ion cluster size. This enables ions to move more freely and rapidly, significantly improving ion transport efficiency.

Meanwhile, material innovation brings capacitor-like characteristics into the system, forming a hybrid energy storage mechanism dominated by delithiation with supplementary electric double-layer capacitance.

This hybrid architecture enhances voltage stability during short-duration, high-rate discharge, ensuring no voltage sag under pulse-load conditions.

Compared with traditional lead-acid solutions, AIOn X-Rate delivers equal or superior backup performance while reducing footprint by up to 70% and deployment time by 50%, unlocking valuable space for computing capacity in high-density data centers.

Safety as Foundation: Securing the Bottom Line with Intrinsic Material Design

In AIDC environments, extreme power density and continuous operation make safety a critical challenge. AIOn X-Rate advances safety design from passive protection to proactive prevention.

The system utilizes AIDC-specific 55Ah high-rate batteries featuring a hybrid solid–liquid electrolyte. Through the synergy of solid-state physical barriers and liquid interface optimization, it significantly reduces the risk of thermal runaway and leakage-induced combustion, achieving a high level of integration between electrochemical performance and physical safety.

Additionally, AIOn X-Rate adopts an SNS three-dimensional collaborative battery design, effectively reducing internal resistance and minimizing heat generation at high discharge rates. Combined with comprehensive system-level insulation protection, it ensures electrical safety throughout the entire lifecycle.

Cycle Life: Long-Term Durability with Intelligent Maintenance

As infrastructure operating 24/7, the lifecycle and maintainability of backup systems directly impact AIDC reliability and operating costs. AIOn X-Rate was designed with full lifecycle value in mind.

The system uses small-particle, interface-stable graphite materials for the anode, effectively suppressing volume expansion during long-term cycling. This reduces expansion by 30% and lowers initial irreversible lithium loss by 40%, laying a strong foundation for extended battery life.

For consistency management, AIOn X-Rate introduces an innovative system-level active balancing strategy with supplemental charging, dynamically equalizing all cells across the system. Compared to conventional module-level balancing, this significantly extends overall system lifespan.

The system also features an externally mounted Battery Management Unit (BMU), simplifying maintenance operations. An insulated maintenance panel physically separates high-voltage components from operators, while supporting point-to-point disassembly, streamlining workflows and maximizing operational safety.

Nature's Wellness Sanctuary: The Four Pillars
Designed for guests who want measurable results, Nature's Wellness Sanctuary is structured around four pillars:

Performance and Strength: Advanced physical performance is a foundational pillar of Nature's Wellness Sanctuary. Expert Body Architects lead elite-level training sessions personalized for every guest. The 10,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor award-winning Anatomy Fitness facility is equipped with high-tech training tools and performance testing, including InBody analysis and VO₂ max assessment.

Recovery and Restoration: Restoration is another core pillar, supporting both performance and overall well-being. In the first Hawaiian outpost of the premier sustainable Bamford Wellness Spa, biophilic treatment rooms and botanical therapies promote deep relaxation and renewal. In addition, a range of touchless therapies incorporates equipment rarely found in resorts, including flotation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared sauna and cold plunge, cryotherapy, compression therapy, and meditation pods.

Science-Backed Health Optimization: Through Vitality Kauaʻi, Nature's Wellness Sanctuary integrates science-backed diagnostics to provide a personal journey to support long-term health and longevity. Guests have access to a comprehensive lineup of innovative services, including IV therapy, medical aesthetics, and body composition analysis utilizing DEXA technology.

Nature as Training Ground: Set between mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the resort implores guests to explore the spectacular natural setting. Hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and open-water training are woven into daily programming, making movement in nature an essential part of the journey.

Trusted Experts, One Integrated Experience
To bring Nature's Wellness Sanctuary to life and create a fully integrated wellness experience, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay has partnered with leaders at the forefront of fitness, spa, and integrative health. Bamford Wellness Spa was founded by Carole Bamford, a pioneer in organic, sustainable, and holistic living. Anatomy Fitness is led by former NFL player Marc Megna, whose cutting-edge approach is grounded in elite sports performance and strength conditioning. Vitality Kauaʻi is the brainchild of Dr. Betty Dilley, a board-certified physician who left emergency medicine to develop a state-of-the-art approach to metabolic health and longevity.

"Many wellness destinations excel in one area," says Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels. "At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, Nature's Wellness Sanctuary brings together leaders at the top of their fields and designs the experience so guests can move seamlessly between them. It's not just a collection of offerings; it's a carefully curated ecosystem, guided by wellness experts who help synchronize the experience in a way that amplifies results."

Signature Wellness Retreats
The framework of Nature's Wellness Sanctuary is focused on multi-day Retreats. Curated itineraries combine healing spa rituals, mindful movement, metabolic support, restorative time in nature, personalized healthy cuisine, and reflective practices. Each guest is paired with a Wellness Coach, a personal guide dedicated to supporting them before, during, and after their stay. Every Retreat is designed for four nights, with extra nights available. Guests of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay can also tap into services from this trailblazing wellness programming on an à la carte basis.

A fleet of cruisers and e-bikes invites guests to explore the island.

Immersive Daylife Experiences
Nature's Wellness Sanctuary is extended through the resort's signature Daylife programming, which is designed to support physical vitality, cognitive health, and emotional well-being through experiences such as:

・Cultural Practices: Hands-on arts activities such as lei making, hula, and ʻukulele sessions connect guests with the local culture and help rebuild neurons and improve longevity.

JCET Group — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:16:15 +0900

SHANGHAI, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, JCET Group (SSE: 600584), a leading global provider of integrated circuit (IC) back-end manufacturing and technology services, released its 2025 Annual Report. JCET reported record full-year revenue of RMB 38.87 billion in 2025, up 8.1% year-on-year. Profit before tax (PBT) totaled RMB 1.74 billion, up 5.4% year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 1.57 billion.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue was RMB 10.2 billion, up 1.4% quarter-on-quarter. Net profit attributable to shareholders for the quarter was RMB 610 million, representing a 26.6% increase from the previous quarter.

In 2025, JCET maintained a steady and progressive operating approach, delivering another record-high annual revenue and achieving its third consecutive year of revenue growth since 2023. During the reporting period, the company's operations across both domestic and overseas sites remained stable, with capacity utilization staying at a high level. Advanced packaging capacity, including wafer-level packaging, continued to run at high load. Revenue associated with advanced packaging reached RMB 27 billion, marking a new high. JCET further increased investment in high-end advanced packaging technologies and capacity build-out, which, together with fluctuations in certain raw material prices, led to temporary cost pressures. However, as higher value-added businesses scaled and high-end capacity came on-stream, the company's profitability improved quarter by quarter through the year. Looking ahead, JCET will continue to assess market demand and maintain forward-looking investments in frontier technologies and critical capacity build-out, further strengthening its competitiveness over the mid to long term.

From an application perspective, JCET deepened its presence in high-growth segments including high-performance computing, storage, automotive electronics, and power management. The company advanced the introduction and mass production of new products in areas such as co-packaged optics (CPO), vertical power delivery modules, and intelligent driving. In 2025, revenue from the computing electronics, industrial and medical electronics, and automotive electronics segments increased 42.6%, 40.6% and 31.7% respectively year-on-year. During the year, JCET completed production line readiness at JCET Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., supporting automotive-grade and robotics applications. Meanwhile, JCET Microelectronics (Jiangyin) Co., Ltd. accelerated its capacity ramp to support high-end intelligent application demand.

In R&D, JCET drove systematic breakthroughs in critical advanced packaging technologies while further strengthening collaborative innovation across the industry chain. Total R&D expenses for 2025 reached RMB 2.09 billion, up 21.4% year-on-year. The company will further increase R&D investment in key technology areas, including high-density multi-dimensional heterogeneous integration, advanced bonding and interconnect technologies, and glass substrates, while accelerating the translation of R&D achievements into scalable manufacturing and commercial applications. To promote an open and collaborative advanced packaging ecosystem, JCET successfully hosted the Advanced Packaging Developers Conference (APDC) in Singapore, establishing a platform for technology exchange and joint innovation to speed implementation.

Mr. Li Zheng, CEO of JCET Group, said, "Over the past year, amid a shifting demand mix and cost volatility, JCET remained focused on application-led upgrades in advanced packaging and continued to steadily improve the quality of its operations. In 2026, JCET will capitalize on growth opportunities in high-performance computing, storage, and embodied intelligence, speeding the translation of technology breakthroughs into mass-production capability and incremental revenue. We will also further raise utilization and operating efficiency in our high-end capacity to strengthen the core competitiveness that supports long-term growth."

DUBAI, UAE, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Phygital International (PI), the global promoter of phygital sports and rights holder of the Games of the Future, has officially opened the bidding process for host cities for the 2028, 2029 and 2030 editions of the Games of the Future, the world's leading phygital sports event.

Phygital Football winners at GOTF 2025

Blending immersive digital gameplay with real-world physical competition, the Games of the Future is a global platform designed to re-engage the digital generation with physical activity and sport. At its core, the event uses phygital disciplines to bridge the gap between virtual and traditional sport - motivating young audiences to move from screens into active participation, and fostering long-term engagement with healthy, active lifestyles.

For host cities, the Games represent a strategic tool to strengthen grassroots and elite sports ecosystems, increase youth participation in physical activity, and promote public health outcomes. At the same time, the event accelerates innovation agendas by integrating advanced technologies, digital platforms, and next-generation entertainment formats - positioning host cities as leaders at the intersection of sport, technology, and youth culture.

Interested cities and organizations are invited to participate in a competitive international process to host one of the fastest-growing global sporting events, with the first milestone requiring the submission of a Letter of Intent by 1 July 2026. Bidding cities must secure early endorsement from a relevant governmental or official authority, with further requirements and timelines to be shared as the process progresses.

The opening of the bidding process follows the recent success of the Games of the Future 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which brought together more than 40,000 spectators on-site and delivered significant global reach and engagement. According to an independent IPSOS report, the event generated 461 million broadcast views, with 137 million unique viewers and 59 million hours of watch time, alongside a further 388 million views across social media platforms.

This level of engagement positions the Games of the Future alongside established international competitions, underlining both the scale of its global audience and the accelerating momentum of the phygital movement. It also highlights the event's strong appeal to a young and highly engaged demographic, with 90% of viewers aged between 18–34.

With momentum continuing into the Games of the Future 2026, set to be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from 29 July to 9 August, and strong interest already demonstrated in the ongoing 2027 host city selection process - including bids from Brazil, Serbia and Uzbekistan - the opening of bids for 2028–2030 further reinforces the rapid international expansion of phygital sport.

"Hosting the Games of the Future offers more than a global event; it provides a platform to drive youth engagement, accelerate digital transformation and strengthen international visibility through sport and technology," said John Hewitt, International Marketing & Communications Director at Phygital International. ""Building on the success of Abu Dhabi and ahead of Astana this summer, we are inviting ambitious cities to help shape the next chapter of this global movement. We are seeking partner cities with the vision, infrastructure and commitment to deliver an edition of the Games that reflects local culture while contributing to the evolution of sport."

Each edition brings together elite athletes across multiple phygital disciplines, combining physical sport and gaming within a single format. City-wide fan zones, innovation showcases and community activations extend the experience beyond traditional venues and audiences, delivering tangible benefits for host cities across tourism, investment and youth engagement.

Stephane Timpano, CEO of ASPIRE and member of the Local Organising Committee for the Games of the Future Abu Dhabi 2025, said:"Hosting the Games of the Future Abu Dhabi 2025 showed that sport is no longer just physical competition, it is where digital capability and human performance converge. Bringing together around 850 competitors from more than 60 nations, the event accelerated youth engagement in high-growth sectors such as gaming, AI and robotics, while creating a global platform for industry collaboration. In doing so, it established Abu Dhabi as a credible benchmark for how future host cities can translate this format into economic impact and technological advancement."

Host cities are selected through a competitive international bidding process, assessed against a comprehensive set of criteria including infrastructure readiness, delivery capability, digital innovation, legacy planning, community engagement and alignment with the values of phygital sport.

All bids are evaluated by an independent expert committee convened by Phygital International, bringing together specialists from sport, technology, event delivery and governance to ensure a transparent, robust and merit-based selection process.

・Together with customers, DXC created and introduced new Claims Assistant, Engagement Assistant, and Underwriter Assistant apps at DXC Connect Insurance Executive Forum
・The apps help insurers accelerate digital transformation, reducing manual processes by 30-40% and cutting cycle process times by approximately 30%

ASHBURN, Va., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, today announced new Assure Smart Apps built on ServiceNow, recently launched at the DXC Connect Insurance Executive Forum in March 2026. Assure Smart Apps combine DXC's deep insurance expertise with ServiceNow's agentic AI and workflow technology to deliver modular, outcome-driven solutions for insurers. Each app is orchestrated through DXC's Assure Platform to accelerate targeted transformation.

DXC Connect Insurance Executive Forum, March 2026

Insurers today face mounting pressure from evolving customer expectations, regulatory complexity, and increased competition while operating across fragmented legacy systems and siloed data. Addressing these challenges typically requires large, multi-year transformation programs that can take years to deliver results.

Assure Smart Apps are designed to help insurers modernize incrementally, without disrupting core systems or requiring extensive time and resource investments. These modular, AI-driven workflow applications are pre-integrated with core policy solutions to deliver measurable outcomes in 12 weeks or less. Insurers can reduce manual processes by 30–40% and cut cycle times by up to 30%, enabling faster progress toward transformation goals.

"By bringing together ServiceNow's agentic AI and workflow technology and DXC's deep insurance industry expertise, we're redefining what's possible in insurance operations," said Michael Park, SVP, Global Partnerships and Channels at ServiceNow. "Together, we're helping carriers accelerate transformation, delivering greater agility and speed across every process."

At DXC Connect Insurance Executive Forum, DXC's annual insurance customer community event, three new Assure Smart Apps were introduced:

・Claims Assistant unifies the end-to-end claims lifecycle, embedding compliance and audit readiness while eliminating system hopping and manual reconciliation. It can reduce claim cycle times by up to 35%, enabling faster payouts and improved policyholder experiences.
・Engagement Assistant modernizes customer engagement across voice, digital, and back-office channels by orchestrating digital agents, human agents, and analytics. It automates servicing, boosts agent productivity, and delivers real-time sentiment and compliance insights—improving customer experience by 5–15%.
・Underwriter Assistant provides a concierge underwriting experience by automating submission intake, prioritizing work, and guiding decisions through a unified, explainable workbench—without disrupting existing policy systems.

DXC also showcased the Assure Smart App Studio, a collaborative innovation environment, where customers contributed ideas for future Smart Apps. During the event, DXC engineers rapidly prototyped new AI agents overnight and demonstrated them on day two—highlighting how quickly organizations can move from ideation to execution with AI-powered innovation.

"The inspiration for Smart Apps was meeting our customers where they are and creating a pathway for incremental transformation," said Ray August, President, DXC Insurance Software and Business Process Services. "We are proud to innovate alongside our customers to build solutions that advance their technology infrastructure without disrupting operations.

Businesses face sustained pressure in 2026 as global insolvencies rise 3%, Atradius forecasts

Atradius N.V. — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:55:14 +0900

AMSTERDAM, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atradius forecasts a further rise in insolvencies in 2026, as adverse conditions continue to weigh on companies, affecting operating margins across multiple sectors. The latest Atradius Insolvency Outlook shows that worldwide insolvencies are expected to increase by 3% in 2026.

According to Atradius Senior Economist Theo Smid, "Our insolvency forecast has deteriorated due to the persistence of adverse economic conditions, including Covid‑related tax debts, rising input costs and ongoing trade tensions. The crisis in the Middle East, together with the associated increase in energy prices, adds to existing pressures. The impact on businesses will depend largely on the length of the conflict."

Atradius' baseline scenario assumes that the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz will begin to normalise from May, with only limited damage to Gulf infrastructure. If the disruption lasts longer, the insolvency projections would need to be revised.

Looking further ahead, the outlook improves in 2027, when insolvencies are projected to decline by 6% as inflation recedes, energy markets normalise and central banks regain room to reduce rates.

Regional outlook

In Europe, Atradius expects the highest rise in Switzerland, Italy and Portugal, while Ireland, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands are set for decreases. Across the eurozone, companies continue to operate under substantial pressure in 2026. Higher energy prices, driven by disruptions in gas markets linked to the conflict in the Middle East, are feeding through to broader inflation and weighing on margins.

North America remains divided. In the United States, insolvencies are forecast to rise by 8% in 2026. The economic climate remains challenging for companies, with high trade tariffs and increased policy uncertainty continuing to weigh on the operating environment. In contrast, Canada is expected to see a decline in insolvencies as filings continue to normalise following the sharp rise in 2024.

In Asia‑Pacific, most monitored markets are set for decreases as insolvencies begin to retreat from historically high levels. New Zealand and Hong Kong show the strongest downward adjustments, while Australia, Japan and South Korea are likely to normalise more slowly.

World's First CAR-T Therapy for Solid Tumors Available in China Soon

Jiahui Health — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:53:05 +0900

A New Hope for Patients with Advanced Gastric and Pancreatic Cancers

SHANGHAI, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking new CAR-T cell therapy for advanced gastrointestinal cancers is expected to become available in China in the first half of 2026, marking a major step forward in cancer treatment. Jiahui International Cancer Center will be among the leading medical institutions offering access to this innovative therapy for eligible patients.

The therapy, known as satri-cel (CT041), is the world's first CAR-T treatment specifically developed for solid tumors targeting Claudin18.2, a biomarker commonly found in gastric (stomach) and pancreatic cancers.

A New Era in Cancer Treatment

CAR-T therapy is a highly personalized treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells, reprogrammed to recognize and attack cancer cells with precision. Unlike traditional therapies, CAR-T cells can expand inside the body and continue to fight cancer over time.

While CAR-T has already transformed outcomes in blood cancers, this new therapy represents a major breakthrough in treating solid tumors, where effective options have historically been limited.

Promising Clinical Results

Clinical studies conducted in China have demonstrated encouraging outcomes for patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal cancers:

・Objective response rate (ORR): ~41%, significantly higher than standard treatments
・More than 10x improvement vs. conventional therapies in some comparisons
・Progression-free survival extended to ~4.7 months vs. ~1.7 months with standard care

These results have been presented at leading international conferences and published in top-tier medical journals, highlighting the global significance of this therapy.

Addressing a Major Unmet Need

Advanced gastric and pancreatic cancers remain among the most difficult cancers to treat, with limited effective options in later lines of therapy and poor survival outcomes.

This CAR-T therapy offers a new treatment pathway for patients who have exhausted conventional options.

Who May Benefit

This therapy may be suitable for patients who:

・Have advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal cancer
・Have received at least two prior lines of treatment
・Show Claudin18.2-positive tumors
・Meet clinical eligibility criteria

Each patient will undergo a detailed medical evaluation to determine suitability.

Looking Ahead

This therapy represents a milestone in oncology, opening the door for CAR-T treatments beyond blood cancers and into solid tumors.

Ongoing research is exploring broader applications, including earlier-stage treatment and additional tumor types.

Adyen Launches Intelligent Money Movement To Unify Enterprise Payments, Liquidity Management And Payouts

Adyen — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:50:26 +0900

NEW YORK, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, today announced Intelligent Money Movement, a new product offering that connects payments, liquidity management, and payouts together on a single platform. Designed for large global enterprises, the solution enables businesses like Etsy, Expedia Group, and Vinted to move funds faster, gain real-time visibility into their cash positions, and reduce operational complexity.

For global enterprises, financial operations remain stubbornly complex, burdened by fragmented providers. Customer payments arrive through cards, bank transfers, and local payment methods in multiple currencies, while customers, external suppliers and partners expect faster, more flexible access to funds. Treasury teams have to navigate the patchwork of fragmented financial providers to manage different parts of the cash flow lifecycle.

"Global commerce operates in real time, but money movement still happens in fragmented stages," said Ethan Tandowsky, CFO, Adyen. "Intelligent Money Movement is designed to eliminate the gaps between payments, liquidity management, and payouts. By consolidating the lifecycle of funds on a single platform, we're enabling businesses to access capital faster, improve working capital efficiency, and make more proactive financial decisions. In the last few years, the CFO's office has had to deal with rapid change and uncertainty with the adoption of AI and economic conditions. Enabling treasurers to be more agile allows them to deliver true value to the business and its operations."

This complexity compounds with growth, as they expand across markets and revenue streams. The average enterprise works with five to six primary banks, manages over 40 separate bank accounts, and has 12 pay-in and payout providers. To manage the movement of funds and create visibility into cash flows, treasurers frequently rely on manual or bespoke processes, which are resource-intensive. This becomes even more challenging when layered on top of technical debt from acquisitions or incompatible legacy systems. According to the joint Treasury Report from Adyen and Boston Consulting Group, 48% of CFOs cite transparency and accurate liquidity projection as a top challenge, and report that treasury teams spend more than 20% of their time managing pay-ins and payouts.

Intelligent Money Movement is uniquely powered by Adyen's key core capabilities:

One Unified Platform: Unlike many providers that rely on a patchwork of acquired technologies and third-party integrations, Adyen has built its entire financial technology stack on a single platform. This allows payments, liquidity management and payouts within one system.

Global Banking Licenses: Adyen is one of the select fintech companies that holds its own banking licenses across the U.S., the U.K., and Europe. This infrastructure enables direct connections to payment rails and card schemes, reducing intermediaries and fund settlement times.

The Intelligent Money Movement product offering is designed for businesses that manage complex payment and payout flows at scale, including insurance, retail marketplaces, mobility and delivery platforms, online travel agencies, and more.

"In the travel industry, the complexity of moving money globally, from the initial traveler booking to the final host payout, requires a high degree of resilience and trust," said Jing Yang, Vice President of Global Payments at Expedia Group. "Unifying our pay-ins and pay-outs through Intelligent Money Movement, helps us to better manage the entire financial lifecycle on a single platform. This reduces operational complexity and ensures our hosts receive a seamless, reliable experience."

"Unifying our funds flow on a single platform is a key driver for VintedPay's scalability. By managing pay-ins and pay-outs through the same infrastructure, we've simplified our operations and gained the stability needed to expand our financial services," said Modestas Tursa, VP of Payments at Vinted. "This setup allows us to stay focused on delivering a reliable experience for our members."

SentiAvatar, the First Interactive 3D Digital Human Framework from SentiPulse and GSAI, Now Open Source

SentiPulse — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:54:06 +0900

Release includes motion dataset, foundation model, and streaming architecture designed to align speech, gesture, and expression in live conversation

JINAN, China, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SentiPulse, a leading AI company focused on emotional foundation models and user experience innovation, in collaboration with a PhD team from the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence (GSAI), Renmin University of China (RUC), announced the open-source release of SentiAvatar, a framework for building expressive interactive 3D digital humans.

SentiAvatar powers SUSU, a real-time 3D avatar capable of conversation, expressive motion, and emotional delivery. The release includes the full SentiAvatar framework, the SUSU character model, and the SuSuInterActs high-quality motion dataset, all now freely available on GitHub.

High-quality 3D human motions and expressions generated by SentiAvatar are presented by the digital human SUSU.

In the rapidly advancing field of 3D digital humans, one long-overlooked yet critical issue is becoming increasingly clear: unnatural expression. The avatar's mouth moves and its hands gesture, but the actions don't match the meaning, and the face looks stiff. The combination quickly triggers the uncanny valley effect.

The issue is simple: human communication has never relied on spoken language alone. A shrug conveys helplessness, a nod signals agreement, and a slight raise of the eyebrow hints at doubt. These nonverbal signals—gestures, posture, facial expressions—are the soul of real conversation.

Yet getting a 3D digital human to naturally "gesture and move as they speak" in real conversation has proven far harder than expected. This is not purely an engineering challenge—it involves three persistent challenges that have never been solved: the lack of high-quality data, the unmet need to understand composite semantic actions, and the difficulty of syncing motion with the rhythm of speech.

SentiAvatar: A Framework for 3D Digital Human Motion Generation

The SuSuInterActs Dataset

SentiPulse built SuSuInterActs around a single character: SUSU (age 22, warm and lively, emotionally rich). The dataset contains 21,000 clips and 37 hours of multimodal conversational data, including synchronized speech, annotated behavioral text, full-body motion, and facial expressions—helping address the lack of high-quality Chinese-language datasets in the field.

Motion Foundation Model: Pre-trained on 200K+ Sequences

As conversational motion data is inherently limited by dialogue scenarios, the team pre-trained a proprietary Motion Foundation Model on more than 200,000 heterogeneous motion sequences (approximately 676 hours), learning general motion patterns that go far beyond dialogue-specific actions.

Core Architecture: Plan-Then-Infill

SentiAvatar introduces a novel dual-channel parallel architecture - Plan-Then-Infill. It separates body motion from facial expression, first planning what action to perform and then infilling in how to execute it frame by frame.

State-of-the-Art Real-Time Performance

SentiAvatar achieves new SOTA results on both the SuSuInterActs and BEATv2 datasets. Compared to mainstream models: MoMask lacks speech input and results in rhythm that feels static and disconnected; EMAGE syncs with audio but ignores semantic intent; AT2M-GPT can misinterpret the meaning of actions; and HunYuan-Motion can produce unstable outputs, often with distorted or unnatural movements. SentiAvatar delivers semantically accurate motion that is tightly aligned with audio.

The framework generates six-second motion sequences within 0.3 seconds and supports infinite-turn streaming interaction. This means digital humans can continuously generate coherent gestures and expressions during live conversation—without waiting for a full sentence to finish before processing, directly addressing one of the core causes of unnatural expression.

Open Source and Beyond: From Digital Humans to Digital Life

The SentiPulse team invites research organizations and individual developers worldwide to push the boundaries of 3D motion generation. Whether you want to build your own 3D companion from scratch or extend SUSU with richer expressive capabilities for games, film production, robotics, or beyond—the open-source framework is ready.

Technical report: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.02908

About SentiPulse
SentiPulse, founded in September 2025, is an AI company focused on emotional foundation models and user experience innovation. The company is dedicated to deepening the relationship between humans and AI through advanced technology—not simply as tools, but as a bridge to more natural and expressive interaction. The team consists of top researchers from leading Chinese universities and cross-disciplinary experts with deep expertise in multimodal models and 3D digital humans.

The multi-city initiative highlights the company's latest technological developments, expanding global partnerships, and real-world applications across both commercial and community settings.

Originating from the City University of Hong Kong under the HK Tech 300 programme in 2021, i2Cool has developed a material-based passive cooling solution inspired by the Saharan silver ant. By combining high solar reflectivity and mid-infrared emissivity, the technology enables surface cooling without electricity consumption or refrigerants.

To date, i2Cool's solutions have been deployed in more than 500 projects across nearly 30 countries and regions, supporting energy efficiency and carbon reduction in sectors including construction, industry, logistics, and agriculture.

Three-City Programme in Vietnam Marks First Phase of Global Roadshow

The Vietnam programme, organized in collaboration with local partner APOLLO, spans three cities—Haiphong, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City—offering a comprehensive engagement from industry dialogue to real-world application.

Haiphong: Industry Salon and Technology Exchange

The tour officially commenced on March 24 in Haiphong with a 4th anniversary salon and investment exchange session held at Taiyo Building.

During the session, i2Cool Co-founder and CEO, Pro.Martin Zhu, presented the scientific foundation of electricity-free cooling technology, including its biomimetic origins and material-based heat management mechanism. He also shared application cases across building rooftops, glass façades, photovoltaic systems, and cold-chain logistics, demonstrating measurable temperature reduction and energy-saving potential.

A key highlight of the event was the introduction of i2Cool's electricity-free cooling nano-particle. Unlike conventional coatings or films, i2nano-particle can be integrated into plastics, rubber, and textile materials, enabling passive cooling at the material level. The launch prompted discussions among local stakeholders on potential localization and industrial applications in Vietnam.

Representatives from APOLLO noted that Vietnam's tropical climate and rapid urbanization are driving increasing demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions, particularly in construction, industrial storage, and logistics sectors.

Hanoi: Industry Engagement at VIETBUILD 2026

Following Haiphong, i2Cool participated in VIETBUILD 2026, held from March 26 to 30 at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Hanoi.

At Booth H1-061, i2Cool and APOLLO jointly showcased a full range of electricity-free cooling solutions, including coatings, films, membranes, and textile applications. The booth attracted developers, contractors, and engineers, with on-site consultations addressing localized challenges such as high humidity and solar heat gain.

The exhibition provided a platform for in-depth exchange on how passive cooling materials can be adapted to tropical climates, supporting both energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

Ho Chi Minh City: Community Deployment in Real-World Conditions

The Vietnam programme concluded with a community initiative in Ho Chi Minh City, where i2Cool implemented its electricity-free cooling coating at an elderly care facility in Tu Hanh Buddhist Temple.

Unlike controlled demonstration settings, the application was carried out in an actively used environment. Within a single morning, the team completed on-site coating using a multi-layer system, covering areas exposed to prolonged sunlight and poor ventilation.

The project addressed a common challenge in such facilities: uneven cooling coverage and high operational costs associated with air conditioning. By reducing heat gain at the building surface, the solution helps improve indoor thermal conditions while lowering reliance on continuous energy consumption.

The initiative also included collaboration with local volunteers and partners, ensuring smooth implementation and laying the foundation for post-application monitoring and feedback.

Global Roadmap and Market Outlook

The Vietnam tour marks the beginning of i2Cool's broader anniversary programme, with upcoming stops planned in Thailand, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

In addition to product demonstrations, the tour introduces global partnership frameworks, distribution opportunities, and insights into material-based cooling technologies under different climate conditions.

According to industry analysis by QYResearch, the global passive cooling market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 26%, driven by rising demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions.
