NAVER D2SF Invests in On-Device AI Startup TraceWeave

- TraceWeave develops its own post-Transformer AI architecture that enables AI agents to run on memory-constrained devices

- Completes paid pilot in mobility; pursues commercialization across robots, drones, smart glasses, and more

- NAVER D2SF continues to invest in on-device AI and next-generation device technologies

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NAVER D2SF has made a new investment in TraceWeave, an on-device AI startup led by co-founder and CEO Jaeyoung Park. TraceWeave is the team behind Phase-TITAN, a post-Transformer architecture that understands long contexts and carries out multi-step tasks while keeping memory usage constant. NAVER D2SF recognized the company's core technology for enabling AI agents on resource-constrained devices.

As AI expands to robots, vehicles, smart glasses, and drones, its applications are advancing beyond simple chatbots toward complex reasoning and decision-making. In Transformer-based models, the key-value cache (KV-Cache) grows with context length, requiring more memory. On-device constraints in memory, battery life, and heat have made it difficult to implement AI agents that understand long contexts and perform complex tasks.

TraceWeave's Phase-TITAN is a new AI architecture designed to resolve this memory bottleneck by replacing the conventional Transformer architecture altogether. TraceWeave develops its own AI models rather than relying on existing open-source models. Memory usage remains constant as context grows. According to TraceWeave, at a 1M-token context without quantization, a comparable Transformer's KV-Cache holds tens of gigabytes or more, while its 1B Phase-TITAN model holds 0.04 GB. This enables agents to call tools, interpret results, and decide on their next actions entirely on the device, without cloud calls. TraceWeave's internal benchmarks on RULER and BFCL indicate that Phase-TITAN maintains performance on par with Transformer models of the same size and larger.

TraceWeave has demonstrated a multi-step agent running on a smartphone using only its CPU, without cloud calls. In mobility, it completed a paid pilot with the autonomous driving affiliate of a global automotive group, identifying driving-data frames that improve the partner's autonomous driving model without human annotation. It is also validating in-vehicle agent performance with a global automotive electronics software company and exploring opportunities in robots, drones, smart glasses, and wearables. TraceWeave was a Top 20 finalist in NVIDIA's 2026 Inception Grand Challenge.

TraceWeave was co-founded in October 2025 by researchers with backgrounds at ETH Zurich, Google, and KAIST. The team combines engineering expertise grounded in computational neuroscience and physics with business development capabilities, designing its own architecture and validating it in device environments that reflect real-world customer needs. In this seed round led by Mirae Asset Capital, TraceWeave raised approximately KRW 3 billion at a pre-money valuation of approximately KRW 30 billion. Based at NAVER D2SF @Gangnam, the company plans to use the funding to expand its research and engineering team for next-generation architecture development and grow its business.

"Taking the KV cache out was never the hard part. Staying capable without it was," said Jaeyoung Park, co-founder and CEO of TraceWeave. "The best part is no part. Phase-TITAN already delivers Transformer-class capability without the Transformer's memory tax, and the next one goes well beyond its class, with the memory still fixed."

"On-device AI is a core technology for implementing complex, advanced AI across diverse device environments beyond PCs, and it also offers advantages in reducing cloud call costs and protecting privacy," said Sanghwan Yang, Head of NAVER D2SF. "TraceWeave is a team that is innovating AI architecture to overcome the limitations of existing AI models and bring AI to on-device environments."

LIBBY, Mont., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Why is it challenging to sell a Montana cabin or lifestyle property to out-of-state buyers? HelloNation has published an article that answers this question with insights from Re/Max Lifestyle Properties's Real Estate Expert Shawna Norry of Libby, Montana. The article explains how sellers can prepare their properties, improve online listings, and address buyer concerns before showings begin.

The HelloNation article explains that selling a Montana cabin or lifestyle property requires understanding how buyers search for homes. Many out-of-state buyers begin their research online, often months before visiting northwest Montana. Clear photos, accurate descriptions, and visible signs of maintenance help these buyers evaluate properties from a distance.

The article notes that basic home preparation can make a meaningful difference. Working utilities, clean interiors, and good lighting show that a property has been maintained. These details matter most for buyers considering year-round living or remote work in Libby, Troy, and the Yaak.

According to the article, sellers should also consider how visitors experience a home as soon as they enter. Clean floors, uncluttered rooms, and natural light create a welcoming first impression. Real Estate Expert Shawna Norry provides insights into how simple improvements help buyers understand a property's condition and potential.

Exterior maintenance is another important part of preparing a mountain property for sale. The HelloNation article recommends checking siding, decks, railings, driveways, and drainage before listing. Addressing small repairs can help buyers feel more confident about a property's safety and long-term upkeep.

The article also highlights features that attract buyers to northwest Montana. Waterfront access, mountain views, usable acreage, and reliable home systems can influence purchasing decisions. Updated heating, plumbing, and wells may be particularly valuable for buyers seeking comfortable year-round access.

Professional photography plays an important role in marketing a Montana cabin or lifestyle property. The article explains that bright, clear images help buyers understand room layouts and surrounding land. Simple staging and wide interior photographs can make online listings easier to evaluate without requiring major renovations.

The HelloNation article also addresses the challenges of marketing remote properties, including cabins in the Yaak. Buyers benefit from information about driveway conditions, tree spacing, outbuildings, wildlife activity, and seasonal access. These practical details help people understand what living in a more secluded location may involve.

According to the article, transparency can reduce uncertainty for out-of-state buyers. Clear property descriptions and accurate information about road conditions, utilities, and maintenance allow buyers to make informed decisions. Real Estate Expert Shawna Norry emphasizes the importance of highlighting both a property's appeal and its practical considerations.

The article further explains that preparation can simplify the selling process for property owners. Listings that answer common buyer questions may attract more serious inquiries and reduce confusion during showings. This approach applies to waterfront homes, mountain cabins, and larger properties with acreage.

The article concludes that successful property marketing begins with maintenance, honest descriptions, and strong visual presentation. Sellers who understand buyer expectations can better communicate what makes their property suitable for different lifestyles. These steps help prospective buyers assess homes before traveling to northwest Montana.

Selling Your Cabin or Lifestyle Property in Libby, Troy & The Yaak features insights from Shawna Norry, a real estate expert of Re/Max Lifestyle Properties in Libby, Montana, in HelloNation.

DENVER, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Kidney Care National Plan and related remarks regarding the future of kidney care:

DaVita shares the Administration's urgency to accelerate progress for Americans living with kidney disease. We have worked closely with federal leaders for decades and look forward to continuing that partnership, building on what is working and moving faster where more progress is needed.

Today's introduction of the Kidney Care National Plan reflects many of DaVita's priorities. Given that 87% of adults with chronic kidney disease do not know they have it, we agree with the need to identify kidney disease earlier, slow its progression, expand patient choice and improve coordination across the kidney care continuum. Today, the majority of DaVita patients are supported by care plans that extend beyond dialysis following decades of our advocacy and leadership in care model innovation. This includes the Kidney Care Choices model from CMMI, which has proven that value-based kidney care can have tremendous impact on patient lives. We are also expanding our multispecialty capabilities to help more patients benefit from advances in treatment that can slow disease progression.

Related to transplantation, DaVita helps patients navigate the transplant process, invests in technology that better connects patients and transplant centers, and pursues innovations aimed at addressing the organ shortage. Progress has not come fast enough because of the critical shortage of viable human organs. Today, roughly 90,000 Americans remain on the kidney transplant waiting list.

Where we differ is the suggestion that kidney care has lacked innovation or that scale stands in its way. Kidney care is increasingly a proving ground for technology, clinical science and new models of chronic care. DaVita has invested in proprietary technology to better connect care across settings and enable more personalized, coordinated care. In fact, today we are in the middle of rapidly deploying a major clinical innovation across our centers that brings dialysis treatment one step closer to the natural kidney and is associated with meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes and quality of life. Scale helps us make these investments with world-class expertise and extends advancements in care to patients more quickly and broadly.

There is no debate that changing the trajectory of kidney disease is the common goal. Efforts to prevent kidney disease and slow its progression must not be conflated with the distinct imperative to deliver high-quality, lifesaving care to people who have already reached kidney failure. Both are essential to improving kidney health in America.

We look forward to working with the Administration to be part of the solution in turning the ambitions of this plan into meaningful progress for Americans with kidney disease.

First New Intersection on the Las Vegas Strip in 60 Years Moves Toward Development

State Senator Fabian Doñate and Assemblymember Cecelia González will back state funding commitments to expedite road and infrastructure enhancements on the Las Vegas Strip.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- State Senator Fabian Doñate (District 10) and Assemblymember Cecelia González (District 16) announced their support in the upcoming legislative session to expedite construction of the first new intersection on the Las Vegas Strip in 60 years, at Russell Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. Chetak Development, who is proposing the Diamond Arena, is facilitating development of the intersection and the bypass road.

The intersection will be the first major exit from Interstate 15 to the Strip for northbound traffic arriving from California, and it will serve as the entrance to a new backside bypass road running from the I-15 and Russell Road exit to Tropicana Avenue. Both the new intersection and the bypass road are located in Senate District 10 and Assembly District 16.

The Route

The bypass road's Strip entrance will be on undeveloped property north of the Little Church of the West wedding chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard and will not impact that business.

Northbound I-15 traffic will use the existing Russell Road off-ramp to reach the east side of the Strip on a new four-lane road that connects to Haven Street, then to Koval Lane, and on to Tropicana Avenue. Haven Street will be extended north to Reno Avenue through land owned by the MHA Nation.

The result is a bypass road east of Las Vegas Boulevard that allows vehicles to exit I-15 at Russell Road and travel directly to Tropicana Avenue by way of Koval Lane. It will be the South Strip equivalent of Frank Sinatra Drive, which serves the west side of the Las Vegas Strip.

Chetak is in final negotiations with Object Dash, LLC to erect two Boring stations northeast and west of the proposed Diamond Arena. That agreement would also provide the land necessary to create the Las Vegas Boulevard entrance to the new bypass road.

Legislative Support

Assemblymember González emphasized the impact of the project: "The South Strip is long overdue for this significant economic development opportunity. I am proud to support my district through innovative projects like this one."

Senator Doñate added, "Road design and construction must be rapidly executed, given that there will be a surge of traffic in this area when the Las Vegas Athletics open their state-of-the-art baseball stadium in February 2028. I strongly support this effort and stand ready to work with Chetak Development and other local stakeholders on any additional infrastructure enhancements to support economic development on the Las Vegas Strip."

Serving Allegiant Stadium, the Athletics and a Future NBA Arena

The new intersection and bypass road will directly benefit both Allegiant Stadium and the Las Vegas Athletics by creating a road that joins the two sports facilities and by giving each direct backside ingress and egress from the east. It will also allow locals and tourists to travel quickly from resorts on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard to the south end of the Strip, I-15, the Athletics' stadium and Allegiant Stadium without using the busy Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard intersection.

The bypass road will also be an essential transportation component for any proposed NBA arena site near Allegiant Stadium. It was reported by Sports Business Journal on October 14 that one of the Las Vegas Raiders owners has joined a leading proposed NBA ownership group and prefers that the NBA arena be located on the South Strip near Allegiant Stadium. Both the proposed Diamond Arena site at the northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Four Seasons Drive and the alternative site at Bali Hai Golf Club would have improved ingress and egress from the new Strip intersection and bypass road.

Chetak's Commitment

Chetak Development, the developer of the Diamond Arena project, has committed to developing the new intersection and bypass road regardless of whether the ultimate NBA arena site is the Diamond Arena location, Bali Hai Golf Club or another South Strip location near Allegiant Stadium, because of the benefit to South Strip economic development and to the community.

Traffic Relief at Tropicana

The Tropicana intersection has been cited as one of the busiest street intersections in the world, with daily traffic volumes approaching 100,000 vehicles, and it typically experiences substantial traffic delays. NDOT informally estimates that the new Strip intersection and bypass road will decrease traffic on Tropicana Avenue at Las Vegas Boulevard by an estimated 22 percent.

Construction Impact and Timeline

There will be virtually no impact on existing traffic during construction, because most of the new road will be built on land not previously used for roads. The land for the bypass road comes from three sources:

- 75% from existing public roads and private landowners

- 16% from property the County acquired in 2021 that has an existing north-south road that will become part of the new road

- 9% from building over an existing county drainage ditch and placing the ditch in the middle of the new road

The project is estimated to take 24 months to complete.

Partnership Supports Student-Athlete Performance, Sustainable Facility Solutions and Lasting Community Impact

IRVING, Texas, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Conference and Ecore Athletic today announced a partnership naming Ecore Athletic the Preferred Athletic Flooring Provider of the American Conference.

Ecore Athletic is a leader in high-performance athletic rubber flooring, engineering surfaces for courts, tracks, strength and conditioning areas, fitness studios, locker rooms and recovery spaces.

"Ecore Athletic shares our commitment to investing in student-athletes, our member institutions and the communities where we compete," said American Commissioner Tim Pernetti. "This partnership elevates every space where our student-athletes train, compete and recover, and it leaves a lasting mark in Tampa long after the final buzzer of our basketball championships. It is another example of American RISE Ventures building innovative partnerships that deliver true value in unique ways."

As part of the agreement, Ecore Athletic will receive the designation of Preferred Athletic Flooring Provider of the American Conference. Ecore Athletic will also donate a court to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay during the 2027 American Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Championships, played March 9-14, 2027, at the Yuengling Center and hosted by the University of South Florida. The court will remain in the Tampa community after the championships.

"Partnering with the American Conference is a natural extension of Ecore's mission to elevate athletic spaces with high-performance flooring that supports the evolving needs of sports facilities," said David Sides, vice president of strategic partnerships at Ecore. "Student-athletes across the Conference deserve surfaces built for performance and built to last, and we're proud to engineer flooring solutions for the full athletic facility, from weight rooms and training areas to locker rooms and recovery spaces."

BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE

Court sports place unique demands on the floor, from repeated jumping and landing to quick changes in direction. Ecore Athletic court surfaces deliver shock absorption, responsiveness and reliable ball rebound.

Ecore's patented itsTRU® technology fusion bonds a performance rubber backing to a range of surface materials, delivering the specific combination of performance, durability, acoustics and aesthetics each space requires. Its court surfaces are engineered around shock absorption, energy restitution, traction and ball rebound.

Through the partnership, American Conference member institutions will gain access to Ecore Athletic flooring across the full athletic facility, along with Ecore's expertise when evaluating flooring needs for renovations, facility upgrades and new construction.

Student-athletes train, recover and prepare throughout the building, and each space places different demands on the floor. A basketball court calls for ball response, traction, shock absorption and energy restitution. A strength-training surface must withstand repeated heavy impacts. Fitness, wellness and recovery spaces require surfaces engineered for their specific use.

SUSTAINABILITY BUILT INTO EVERY SURFACE

Circularity is core to Ecore's business model, with the company reclaiming end-of-life rubber and transforming it into high-performance products.

Ecore reclaims approximately 474 million pounds of waste rubber each year, including used commercial tires, and turns it into high-performance flooring.

Ecore's TRUcircularity™ Takeback Program reclaims eligible rubber flooring, turf and track systems at the end of their useful life. The material is cleaned, ground and reprocessed into new surfaces and components.

For American Conference member institutions, sustainability can be considered across the full life of an athletic floor, from the materials used in a new surface to what happens when that surface is replaced.

IMPACT BEYOND THE GAME

The partnership will also extend beyond American Conference campuses and competition venues.

During the 2027 American Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Championships, Ecore Athletic will donate a multi-purpose court to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay.

"Sports have always been about more than the game at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay. They teach teamwork, build confidence, develop character, and create opportunities for young people to discover what they're capable of achieving," said Dr. Diana Santangelo, Sr. Vice President of Programs at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay. "Thanks to Ecore Athletic and the American Conference, our Club members will have access to a high-quality space where they can compete, grow, and dream bigger. This investment goes far beyond a basketball court. It's an investment in the potential of every young person who steps onto it."

The court will remain in the Tampa community after the championships, giving local young people a place to play on the same kind of performance surface engineered for college athletes.

"This partnership is a great example of how we can leverage the collective strength of the American Conference to create value for our member institutions," said Bryan Calka, chief commercial officer of the American Conference.
