Put a proactive AI analyst to work in minutes: automating the grind, staying on top of what's changing, and helping teams make better decisions, fast.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AI has made individuals dramatically more capable. But making each person smarter doesn't automatically make the company run better.

Companies are becoming more complicated. There's too much happening for any person or team to see the full picture. Summation is AI designed for how a business actually operates.

Starting today, Summation's AI analyst is available to everyone. After a year deploying Summation inside companies including Fanatics, Lineage, and Grid, any team can now sign up, connect its data, and put an AI analyst to work in minutes.

"Most businesses aren't short on valuable problems to solve. They're short on the analytical capacity to solve them," said Ian Wong, CEO and Co-Founder of Summation. "We built Summation to put an AI analyst on every team and bring the best of AI to the decisions that drive the business."

The AI Analyst That Stays on Top of the Business

Most AI tools wait for someone to ask the right question. Summation can take responsibility for work that needs to happen whether someone remembers to ask or not.

It can run recurring analytical processes, including reviews, forecasts, and reporting, automatically on your schedule.

Summation can monitor thousands of changes across products, customers, locations, and channels. When something matters, Summation investigates why, shows the evidence, and brings it to the right person.

And it can go beyond analysis into operating decisions. Summation powers applications for planning, pricing, inventory, marketing, and other workflows, helping teams make key decisions and measure what matters.

The result is more capacity to run the business: more questions answered, faster response to change, and better decisions made sooner.

More Than a General-Purpose LLM

Making that work takes more than a great AI model.

Summation learns the context that makes each business different: its data, metrics, definitions, processes, and constraints. Its workflows keep running from one operating cycle to the next, and its work is verified and traceable back to underlying data.

That's what allows Summation to take responsibility for recurring work rather than simply generate a one-off answer. An output from Summation is a boardroom ready deliverable you can trust.

From Sign-Up to Production

Individuals and teams can sign up, connect their data through more than 1,200 integrations, and delegate their first job in minutes. With Summation Workflows, useful work can then run automatically and deliver itself by email or Slack.

For enterprises, Summation's deployment team works alongside customers to make the analyst successful. The team identifies high-value responsibilities to delegate, learns how the business actually operates, and does the last-mile work to put AI into production.

The goal isn't another AI implementation. It's a working analyst driving a real business outcome.

Available Today

Summation is available in two self-serve plans: Pro at $60 per user per month and Max at $200 per user per month.

Enterprise plans include dedicated deployment support, custom integrations, and advanced governance and controls for organizations putting AI analysts into critical operating workflows.

Summation AI analysts are available today. Put one to work at: www.summation.com/try-summation.

Abacus.AI Launches the Smaug Line of Open-Weight Models Optimized for Enterprise Agentic AI Use Cases

New family of LLMs that gives Enterprises total control of their data, enhanced privacy, and SOTA-level agentic performance

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Abacus.AI is introducing three new LLMs across its enterprise agentic AI platform and Super Assistant. The model family called Smaug optimizes open-source base models for long-running self-improving agentic loops in a cost-efficient manner. These models can easily be hosted by any enterprise within its cloud VPC environment, giving it full control over its data and where its AI is hosted.

Smaug is a novel fine-tuning technique applicable to any open-source base model that improves the performance of its long-running agentic loops by 15-20% without increasing cost. This fundamentally enables companies to deploy self-improving enterprise AI agents at scale at open-source model costs, typically 10–100× lower than those of frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI.

Today, we are releasing Smaug Agentic, Smaug Flash, and Smaug Mini.

All of these models will be available on Hugging Face. They are open-weight and can be downloaded by anyone.

Smaug Flash - This model is highly optimized for personal agents and can connect to messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack, and maintain long-running conversations with the user, adapting to their vibes over time. This model has been fine-tuned on DeepSeek Flash.

Smaug Agentic - This model achieves state-of-the-art performance on complex coding loops, is based on Kimi K3, and is a large 2T model. This is an excellent replacement for Opus-class models and is more cost-efficient. Enterprises that are concerned about security and data privacy can host Smaug Agentic on an in-house GPU cluster.

Smaug Mini - Smaug Mini is the efficient option in the line and is a smaller 27B model, optimized for multimodal use cases and smaller reasoning workloads. It delivers strong agentic gains in a compact, cost-effective package. This is an excellent option for simple tasks, great for enterprise chatbots, and can be further fine-tuned on the enterprise's data.

We have also published these models on the popular benchmark LiveBench AI. The comparison to the base models on key categories like agentic coding is available here.

These models deliver meaningful performance gains over their base models across coding, tool use, automation, and long-context reasoning workloads. For complete benchmark results and technical details, read the full technical brief.

Together, the Smaug line of models provides enterprises with a cost-effective option to control their data and automate workloads.

"Open-weight models are rapidly closing the gap to frontier closed models, but still underperform in long-running agent loops. The Smaug line addresses this shortcoming while still being 10-100x cheaper than closed-source models," said Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus.AI.

The Smaug line is both a product release and a demonstration of a broader thesis: with the right fine-tuning methodology, open-weight models can compete with and surpass frontier models on Agentic AI tasks. Abacus.AI expects to continue advancing the line as base models evolve and its library of agentic traces grows.

About Abacus.AI

Abacus.AI is an Enterprise SuperAssistant and agentic platform to automate white-collar work. The platform applies 100+ AI models to create self-improving AI workflows, AI-assisted apps, and an enterprise-wide AI brain and is used by over 3M professionals, small businesses, and enterprises.

New Spatial AI, mobile, and progress tracking innovations help construction teams turn trusted reality data into faster, better decisions

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenSpace, the Visual Intelligence Platform for the built world, today unveiled the next generation of its platform at Waypoint 2026, the company's annual virtual customer event. The new and upcoming capabilities demonstrate how Visual Intelligence is creating a new way to work in construction, moving project teams beyond document-centric workflows toward decisions grounded in visual, real-world data.

In recent years, OpenSpace has become a leading platform that brings together data from 360° cameras, smartphones, drones, laser scanners, BIM models, project schedules and more. OpenSpace enriches that data with location, field context and reality-based progress analytics, making it easier for project teams to coordinate around what is actually happening on-site, communicate across stakeholders, and make faster decisions. This new way of working, with visual reality at the center, is making life easier for field teams, delivering literal ROI, and making AI genuinely more useful for builders.

"Construction doesn't need another disconnected tool or system that asks teams to manually input information into a form," said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and Co-Founder of OpenSpace. "The next phase of the industry will be defined by platforms that understand the physical world and make that intelligence available wherever teams already work. Today at Waypoint, we demonstrated how OpenSpace is powering a new way of reality-based work, with an open platform that interoperates with the systems and technologies that work best for our customers' businesses."

A New Way to Work in the Field

At Waypoint 2026, OpenSpace previewed new capabilities designed to make the smartphone a powerful tool for capturing, understanding, and acting on jobsite reality, reducing administrative work and helping teams move more quickly from observation to action.

The company announced a breakthrough in its Autolocation technology, revealing AI Autolocation 2.0 with Live Location. In construction, location of a photo taken is often the most important, but almost always missing, piece of information. OpenSpace made this a priority to solve for their customers. AI Autolocation works like GPS, but inside buildings where GPS does not operate, and it works without the need to install wireless hardware devices like bluetooth beacons. AI Autolocation 1.0 helped users automatically pin issues created on mobile to their location on a drawing. AI Autolocation 2.0 takes it further, allowing users to understand their position in real time, all the time, powering entirely new field workflows.

The technology powers a new mobile experience called Site Mode, which puts a user's live location directly on project drawings and BIM models, even when offline, allowing users in the field to instantly access relevant information, open Field Notes and expedite issue workflows based on exactly where they are on the jobsite.

The technology also powers AI Walk-and-Talk, a capability that allows users to create structured updates by speaking naturally as they move through the jobsite. The images and voice are tagged in real time to jobsite locations, providing a rich data set of site status. Walk-and-Talk powers workflows such as daily reports, with OpenSpace compiling the information into an end-of-day report to reduce significant time spent on administrative work.

Verified Progress, Not Opinions

OpenSpace also showcased major advancements to OpenSpace Track, its reality-based progress-tracking solution for projects ranging from multifamily housing to hospitality projects to some of the most complex, high-value and mission-critical projects. OpenSpace Track helps customers verify installed work, compare actual progress with planned milestones, identify schedule risks, forecast future performance, and view trends across multiple projects at the portfolio level.

Due to high customer demand from mission-critical owners and builders, OpenSpace has expanded its progress tracking offerings with new functionality for quantity tracking, markups and predictive analytics. Combined with the power of the full OpenSpace platform as well as optional walk and pilot services, customers are using these capabilities to build faster and more reliably, with visual reality at the center.

The company also announced its Track API, which allows customers to pull progress tracking data into whatever core system a customer uses — ERP, BI dashboards, or PM tools — and drive more workflows in both the field and office. In particular, the company highlighted customers using Track and the Track API to provide accelerated payments to their subcontractors using a shared visual record that all parties can trust, demonstrating literal ROI impact for the industry as a whole.

"For the construction industry, the field is where money is made or lost, yet progress has traditionally been measured through manual updates, periodic observations, and individual judgment," said Michael Jones, Vice President of Product Management at OpenSpace. "Visual Intelligence replaces opinions with a more objective, timely view of what has actually been completed, which can truly transform the difficult economics of construction. It allows payments and capital to flow more efficiently from lenders to owners to GCs to trades, each and every month."

Giving AI Agents Eyes on the Jobsite

OpenSpace outlined the next generation of AI built for the "real world" economy. Most AI systems are designed to interpret documents and text. Construction, however, takes place in a physical environment that changes every minute, every day. To provide meaningful value, AI must understand not only what was planned, but also what is truly happening in the real, physical world. This type of AI is often labeled "Physical AI," and it represents the cutting edge of AI broadly.

OpenSpace announced the new OpenSpace Agent Ecosystem – an open, interoperable AI agent platform that understands what is happening on the jobsite, and can tackle work that teams have to do. OpenSpace leverages its foundation of processing large amounts of visual data, enriching it with location, meaning and high-level analytics, and is now making that intelligence accessible to AI agents to help tackle real work. OpenSpace is building agentic AI technology capable of understanding reality data that is captured, organized, and mapped to the correct project spatial context. Having analyzed imagery from more than 110,000 construction projects representing over 77 billion square feet, with more than 500 million expert-verified labels and descriptions, OpenSpace has built a foundation of real-world visual and spatial intelligence that can help AI understand how construction actually progresses.

This foundation can enable AI agents – in OpenSpace or in a partner system using OpenSpace via MCP – to assist with everyday workflows like daily logs, routine inspections, and clearing punch lists. OpenSpace is already putting this vision into practice, working with a select group of Early Access customers to build and deploy AI agents against real-world construction workflows.

"AI agents need eyes," said Michael Fleischman, CTO and Co-Founder, OpenSpace. "An agent may be able to read every report associated with a project, and that provides real value. But without visual and spatial context, AI still cannot fully understand the scope of what drives business results for our customers – that data lies in the field. OpenSpace is building that connection between AI and the physical world so agents can become genuinely useful partners to the people delivering projects. This kind of real-world reasoning has been the vision behind OpenSpace from the beginning, and we're excited to now put that capability in the hands of our customers."

Throughout Waypoint 2026, OpenSpace customers shared how they are using Visual Intelligence to improve coordination, reduce administrative work, validate progress, deliver literal ROI through accelerated payments, and make faster decisions.

"OpenSpace puts Autodesk Issues front and center with pinpoint accuracy so we can get them resolved faster. The faster we resolve issues, the greater benefit to the project," said Zeeshan Haider, Director of Business Process, ISEC, Inc. "I worked with one company that could measure job profitability based on the number of days issues stayed open. So, if we can increase the efficiency with which we resolve open issues, that means money to the bottom line. And at the end of the day, that satisfies our customers. They feel like we're on top of things and getting them done faster."

Additional information about upcoming feature availability, participation in Early Access and Beta programs, and general customer access will be shared in the coming months.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces it has opened an investigation into CVRx Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) regarding potential violations of federal securities laws. The investigation follows disclosures of a U.S. Department of Justice Civil Investigative Demand ("CID"), severe cuts to revenue guidance, commercial sales force disruption, and the sudden termination of the company's Chief Revenue Officer.

CVRx Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) Investors: Investors who suffered substantial losses are encouraged to submit your losses now to evaluate their legal rights and recovery options.

- Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/cvrx

- Contact Partner Reed Kathrein: 844-916-0895 | [email protected]

INVESTIGATION OVERVIEW: CVRx Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX)

CVRx's sole commercial product is Barostim, an FDA-approved implantable neuromodulation device designed to improve symptoms for patients suffering from heart failure. Historically, CVRx assured investors that its growth strategy was anchored by a complete sales force transformation and high approval rates from Medicare Advantage payers.

CVRx repeatedly highlighted a "$10.5 billion market opportunity" with less than 1% penetration, reassuring the market earlier this year that its sales force transformation was "largely complete."

However, after market close on August 6, 2026, CVRx disclosed a series of severe operational and legal headwinds:

- DOJ Civil Investigative Demand (CID): On May 14, 2026, CVRx received a CID from the U.S. Department of Justice investigating whether the company caused the submission of false claims to government health programs by improperly marketing Barostim, paying kickbacks to healthcare providers, or submitting false information.

- Sales Force Deterioration & Guidance Cut: CVRx significantly cut its 2026 revenue expectations and revealed serious problems with its salesforce – sequentially flat growth in sales territories, turnover, and strained onboarding and training.

- Medicare Advantage Approval Collapse: CVRx revealed that its primary Medicare Advantage payer—which historically approved 80% of prior authorizations within 30 days—increased initial denials and reduced 30-day approvals to just 25%.

In response to these revelations, CVRx's stock price cratered 59% on August 7, 2026.

Three days later, on August 10, 2026, CVRx abruptly terminated its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Robert John.

FOCUS OF THE HAGENS BERMAN INVESTIGATION

"We are investigating whether there is a direct connection between the Department of Justice CID and the immediate termination of the Chief Revenue Officer, as well as whether CVRx may have misled investors regarding the true state of its commercial sales force and Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.

WHAT CVRx (CVRX) INVESTORS & WHISTLEBLOWERS CAN DO

- Investors: If you invested in CVRx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVRX) and suffered significant financial losses, you can submit your losses now.

- Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding CVRx should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 844-916-0895 or email [email protected].

About Hagens Berman

The firm is home to a robust practice and represents investors as well as whistleblowers, workers, consumers and others in cases achieving real results for those harmed by corporate negligence and other wrongdoings.

Risilience Recognized by Verdantix for Market-Leading Physical Climate Risk Capabilities as Financial Impacts of Climate Hazards Mount

Independent assessment highlights Risilience's differentiated asset-level risk analysis, integrated risk modeling and financial quantification as businesses face growing physical climate threats.

CAMBRIDGE, England, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Risilience, the technology company helping businesses turn climate and interconnected risk into actionable financial intelligence, has been recognized for its market-leading capabilities in physical climate risk in the latest Verdantix Smart Innovators: Physical Climate Risk Solutions (2026) report. The evaluation positions Risilience as an industry innovator and market leader, highlighting its differentiated ability to combine holistic risk scenarios with deep financial quantification.

Physical climate risks are growing more frequent and severe, threatening real assets, infrastructure and biodiversity, while their financial toll is mounting. In 2025, the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) calculated the global cost of damages from natural hazards at $224 billion. As these hazards intensify, real asset owners, investors and financial institutions must forecast physical climate risks in a timely manner – identifying their sources, quantifying their impacts and implementing mitigation strategies to prepare for a hotter world.

Verdantix's latest report benchmarks eleven physical climate risk solution providers, reflecting a market that is rapidly evolving as businesses move beyond climate risk scores and dashboards towards actionable intelligence that can inform investment, resilience and strategic decisions.

Risilience was awarded the highest rating, "Market-leading functionality, with differentiated offering", for both asset-level risk analysis and integrated climate and non-climate risk analysis. The assessment also identified strong functionality across five additional areas, including long-term hazard modeling, business strategy risk analysis and the production of adaptation-relevant metrics.

"We are proud to be recognized by Verdantix as a market leader in physical climate risk solutions," said Tom Harvey, SVP Product Management at Risilience. "Their independent analysis validates our focus on providing deep, financially quantified insights, highlighting our market-leading capabilities in asset-level risk analysis and integrated climate and non-climate risk assessment."

Risilience's Financial Quantification module, which converts hazard exposure directly into financial impact using sector-specific coefficients, was highlighted by Verdantix as a key differentiator. This reflects a wider shift in the market towards financially grounded climate intelligence that can support investment decisions and business planning.

Verdantix also highlights Risilience's ability to combine climate risk with macroeconomic, cyber and geopolitical scenarios, describing this as a "highly valuable and differentiated capability". This integrated approach enables organizations to assess physical climate risk alongside the wider factors that can shape business performance and resilience.

The report also recognizes RiiseIQ, Risilience's generative AI innovation, which makes complex climate and financial risk data more accessible through natural-language exploration. Together, these capabilities position Risilience as a leader and innovator in the physical climate risk solutions market, with particular differentiation in financial quantification and integrated risk assessment.

"Verdantix's latest report on physical climate risk confirms that the market requires more than just risk scores; it needs financially relevant intelligence," continued Harvey. "We are delighted that the report recognizes Risilience's market-leading ability to translate complex climate hazards directly into financial impacts, empowering businesses to make resilient investment decisions."

Focus of HBSS' IBM Investigation:

The firm's focus is on the propriety of IBM's statements about IBM Z, a family of enterprise mainframe computers renowned for reliability, processing scale, and security. IBM has since early April 2025 touted the IBM z17 -- its flagship, enterprise-grade mainframe, engineered for real-time artificial intelligence processing at an unprecedented scale.

On April 22, 2026 IBM reported a strong start to 2026, with its quarterly Infrastructure, Hybrid Infrastructure, and IBM Z revenues up 15%, 28% and 51%, respectively.

During the earnings call that day, management assured investors that "[t]he strong start to the year drives our confidence in delivering constant currency revenue growth of 5-plus percent in 2026[]" and "[l]ooking into the second quarter, we expect our constant currency revenue growth rate to be similar to the full year."

Management also assured investors that 2026 was positioned for "continued growth" and "we're off to a tremendous start, record start in our new z17."

Investors' expectations for IBM's second quarter were crushed within three months. On July 14, 2026, the company announced that, in contrast to assurances of "5-plus" Q2 2026 revenue growth, total revenue was up a paltry 1% and Infrastructure revenue declined 7%.

CEO Krishna said "[w]hat played out was worse than our expectations, driven by a shortfall in our Z performance and the associated software stack, primarily in Transaction Processing." He blamed the shortfall on customers' "capex reprioritization" and further said "we did not adapt and move quickly enough[,]" and "numerous large deals failed to close[.]"

"Based in part on the abruptness of the bad news, we are looking into whether and when the Company may have had information raising the probability that large deals were unlikely to timely close during IBM's second quarter," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP alerts investors in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed after its surprising revelations concerning a Phase 3 clinical trial of a therapy intended to treat patients with melanoma.

The news that the trial failed drove the price of Regeneron shares sharply lower and, along with the severe market reaction ($11 billion market cap wipeout), triggered the lawsuit which seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Regeneron common stock between August 1, 2025 and May 15, 2026.

National shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the legal claims and urges Regeneron investors with substantial losses to submit your losses now. The firm also invites persons who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (REGN) Securities Class Action:

The litigation is focused on the propriety of Regeneron's repeated optimism about the state of- (and changes to-) its Phase 3 trial of Fianlimab in combination with Libtayo as a first-line treatment for metastatic or locally advanced melanoma (the "Study").

The Study's primary endpoint was progression-free survival ("PFS") and Regeneron has characterized the combination as a "potential blockbuster." "Events" – disease progression or death – determined the timing and statistical power of the primary PFS analysis.

The complaint alleges that Regeneron made false and misleading statements while failing to disclose critical information to investors. In particular, the lawsuit accuses the company and its management of not informing investors that the Study's preliminary statistical assumptions were flawed, the active treatment arm was not achieving meaningful differentiation over standard therapies, and achievement of its primary endpoint was unlikely.

Throughout the Class Period, Regeneron and the other defendants assured investors of their confidence in the Trial's achieving its primary endpoint even when events were slowing down. At one point, management said the slowing event rates are "because the test arms are performing well."

The truth began to emerge on April 29, 2026, when Regeneron first revealed that it decided to alter the Trial protocol such that "t]he primary analysis of progression-free survival will now consider all patients enrolled in the study with a minimum follow-up of 6 months."

One prominent analyst reportedly questioned whether the decision was made because, in contrast to management's expressed confidence, the "underlying PFS benefit may be insufficient to show statistical significance."

Then, on May 12, 2026, Regeneron admitted that the decision to alter the Trial protocol was made in response to "slow event rates," occurred nearly six months ago, and was "submitted it to all the global regulatory authorities in November, December timeframe."

Three days later, the final blow came. On May 15, 2026, Regeneron abruptly reported the "trial did not reach statistical significance of the primary endpoint of improvement in progression-free survival (PFS)."

"We're focused on whether Regeneron altered the Trial protocol without timely telling investors to intentionally mislead them because the defendants knew so-called blockbuster potential for the combination wasn't really there," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the pending claims in the suit.
