NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High-performance gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK today launched the MEGA B2, a flagship gaming mouse featuring TMR-based Magnetic Micro-Switch with Rapid Trigger, customizable haptic feedback, dual 8K connectivity, a flagship sensor, and advanced software tuning. Designed for esports players, it delivers enhanced speed, precision, and control.

Breaking Boundaries for a More Adaptive Input Experience

The standout feature of the MEGA B2 is its use of TMR-based Magnetic Micro-Switch supporting Rapid Trigger technology. Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contacts, the TMR system detects button movement through magnetic sensing, enabling actuation distances adjustable down to 0.1mm. With Rapid Trigger, button activation and reset points can respond dynamically to movement, allowing faster repeated inputs without waiting for a fixed reset distance. Combined with adjustable trigger sensitivity, players can tailor responsiveness to different games and personal preferences. The contact-free design also helps reduce switch wear associated with long-term mechanical use.

To further enhance control, the MEGA B2 integrates linear motor haptic feedback into both primary buttons, allowing users to independently adjust trigger sensitivity and tactile feedback intensity.

The mouse is powered by a customized PixArt PAW3955MAX sensor, offering 1-60,000 DPI adjustment, 1-DPI increments, 20,000 FPS, 850 IPS, and 75G acceleration. The sensor is designed to provide reliable tracking during high-speed flicks, low-sensitivity gameplay, and large mouse movements commonly found in competitive shooters and other esports titles.

The flagship Nordic 54LM20 MCU further supports stable performance, efficient processing, and optimized power consumption, helping balance responsiveness with battery life in competitive gaming environments.

Built for High-Speed Competitive Play

The MEGA B2 supports both wired and wireless 8,000Hz polling rates, enabling high-frequency input reporting across connection modes. It is paired with ATTACK SHARK's shark-fin-inspired 8K receiver, featuring an extended antenna for improved signal performance and LED indicators displaying connection status, polling rate, and battery life.

Weighing just 63±3g, the mouse combines lightweight performance with a reinforced button-module frame designed to improve structural stability and maintain a consistent click feel during extended use.

Customization is available through both a web-based driver and PC software. In addition to standard settings such as DPI, button assignments, and polling rates, users can adjust virtual sensor offset to better match different grip styles, movement patterns, and aiming preferences.

Additional features include a 300mAh high-density battery delivering up to 360 hours of battery life at 1,000Hz polling rate, a high-density injection-molded structure, a cooling glass-like surface coating, and a TTC Gold Wheel encoder for crisp and reliable scrolling feedback.

Driving Innovation Through Competitive Gaming

The launch follows ATTACK SHARK's recent partnership with Cloud9's League of Legends team, further strengthening the brand's connection with professional esports. Through closer engagement with competitive players, ATTACK SHARK continues to gain insights into the demands of high-level gameplay and apply them to product development.

MEGA B2 is a product of that ongoing pursuit. By combining TMR-based Magnetic Micro-Switch with Rapid Trigger technology, it brings a new level of responsiveness and customization to gaming mice while extending magnetic sensing technology beyond keyboards. Trusted by more than 10 million users globally, ATTACK SHARK continues to make professional-grade gaming technology more accessible.

Lamphun, Trang and Roi Et reinterpret distinctive regional identities through immersive cultural performances and creative technology

BANGKOK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is staging VIJIT Thailand 2026 in Lamphun, Trang and Roi Et from 25 September to 18 October, with an expanded regional format shaped around each destination's identity. Light & Sound, projection illumination, 3D mapping, drone displays and cultural performances reinterpret local heritage, nature and culture while extending evening activity, encouraging regional travel, and generating income for local businesses and communities.

Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said, "VIJIT Thailand 2026 shows how creativity and technology can present local identity in modern ways while remaining rooted in the places, people and stories that give each destination meaning. This reflects TAT's direction under 'The Year of Transformation', with emphasis on meaningful experiences, quality tourism and wider distribution of tourism benefits. Lamphun, Trang and Roi Et each offer unique cultural narratives and different ways to experience Thailand after dark."

Developed as a sustainable event prototype, VIJIT Thailand 2026 presents 10 curated installations or experience points in each destination. The programme moves from Lamphun's Hariphunchai heritage and faith to Trang's natural and multicultural character and Roi Et's beliefs, music, and Isan culture, interpreted through creative technology and live programming, and follows the VIJIT format used in earlier editions, including Vijit Chao Phraya in Bangkok.

VIJIT @LAMPHUN opens the programme from 25 September to 4 October, from 17.00 to 24.00 Hrs., across Lamphun Old Town. Under the concept "The Eternal Kingdom of Hariphunchai", 10 illuminated locations connect its history, Buddhist heritage, faith and architecture through contemporary light art, multimedia and cultural performances.

The route begins at Tha Sing Bridge with "HARIPUNCHAI – The River of Light", followed by Tha Nang Gate at Wat Chang Rong with "Wall of Memories"; the old city moat near Wat Mahawan with "The Eternal Stream of Time"; the Phra Rod basketry installation with "Timeless Light of Dharma"; Khum Chao Chakkham Khachonsak with "The Light of Time Royal Blood of Lamphun"; the Queen Chamadevi Monument with "The Eternal Queen of Hariphunchai"; Black to Basic café with "Lamphun Eternal Charm"; Wat San Pa Yang with "Sacred Mandala"; Chedi Chai Chana with "The Radiance of Triumph The Glory of the Realm"; and the chedi at Wat Si Bun Rueang with "The Great Illumination of Faith".

Special shows add another dimension at key locations. Tha Nang Gate hosts five-minute Light & Sound multimedia presentations at 19.00, 20.00, 21.00 and 22.00 Hrs. daily, with fireworks incorporated into the 20.00 Hrs. show on 25–27 September and 2–4 October. Khum Chao Chakkham Khachonsak also presents four nightly Light & Sound shows at the same times, while Queen Chamadevi Monument features four nightly Light & Sound presentations plus cultural performance at 19.00 Hrs. each evening.

VIJIT @TRANG runs from 2 to 11 October, 17.00 to 22.00 Hrs, at Chaloem Phrakiat 95 Public Park in Mueang Trang. Under a "Trang Lights Alive" theme, the lakeside park features 10 illuminated experiences that draw on Trang's natural environment, local symbols, and multicultural character.

Centred on "Magic Island", the route includes "Beyond Perspectives", "Richly Dugong", "Live Reflection", "The Tourist", "Soul of Forest", "Mantra Path", "Light Bio Floral", "Royal Benevolence" and "Multi-culture Bridge". Together, the installations interpret Trang through dugong, flora, forest, visitor experience and cultural diversity, creating a nocturnal journey that combines nature, local identity and contemporary light art.

VIJIT Roi Et Illumination completes the programme from 9 to 18 October, from 17.00 to 24.00 Hrs., at Bueng Phlan Chai. Its 10 installations explore faith, beliefs and Isan cultural identity through illumination, mapping, lasers, mist, LED displays and sound, with an opening-night fireworks display at 19.30 Hrs. on 9 October.

The route opens with "The First Beat", followed by "Portal 101", an illuminated gateway; "Hello 101", an LED landmark installation; "Inthanin Pulse", combining mapping and reflections inspired by the inthanin flower; "Follow the Naga", centred on a large animated naga display; "Whisper of Himmapan", creating a mythical forest through lasers and mist; "Faith of Light", drawing on local beliefs and imagery associated with Thung Kula; "Isan Playground", interpreting regional culture through white squirrels, wot music and firefly-like lighting; "Purple Memory", an illuminated pathway inspired by inthanin blossoms; and "Phlan Chai Pavilion of Faith", illuminating Roi Et's distinctive octagonal pavilion. Live music on 9–11 and 17–18 October complements the programme.

TAT targets 200 million Baht in economic circulation, 150,000 online and on-site participations, and 1.5 million awareness impressions across the three destinations. These targets reflect the key programme's role in uniting destination experiences, local economic opportunity and sustainable event development.

Trading Symbol: TSX/NYSE American: SVM

- Your vote is important. Vote well in advance of the proxy voting deadline on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

(Pacific time).

- Shareholders who have questions or require voting assistance are encouraged to contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group by email [email protected], or by texting INFO to, or calling, 1-877-452-7184 (North American toll-free) or 1-416-304-0211 (outside North America).

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) announces that its Board of Directors has approved a variation to the special resolution concerning the Company's Articles (the "Articles") to be considered at the Company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") as described more fully below. In order to provide shareholders sufficient time to consider the proposed variation, the Meeting, originally scheduled for September 25, 2026, has been postponed to October 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time). The proxy voting deadline has accordingly been extended to September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time).

Overview of Proposed Amendments

As set forth in the Company's management information circular dated August 12, 2026 (the "Circular"), the Company has asked shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to pass with or without variation a special resolution (the "Amended Articles Resolution") authorizing the Company to make certain amendments to its Articles in order to align its constating documents with the listing rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange") (Item 3 in the Proxy). These Hong Kong listing-related amendments, which are described more fully in the Circular, will only be implemented if the Board determines to proceed with the listing of the Company's common shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and, in that event, immediately before or concurrently with completion of the listing.

Following consideration of feedback received from shareholders and proxy advisors, improvements in certain clauses of the Articles for better corporate governance were identified and the Board approved targeted amendments intended to strengthen the Company's governance framework while preserving appropriate flexibility for the Board to manage the Company's affairs. The Company is therefore proposing to expand the Amended Articles Resolution described in Item 3 in the Proxy to include these additional amendments. If the Amended Articles Resolution is passed at the Meeting, the additional governance amendments will be implemented promptly following the Meeting.

The following is a summary of the proposed additional amendments to the Articles:

Quorum Requirements

-

- Under Article 11.3, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or represent by proxy, shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. The Company proposes to amend Article 11.3 by increasing the quorum requirement from 5% to 25%.

- Under Article 18.10, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of directors may be set by the directors. The Company proposes to amend Article 18.10 to require that quorum be at least one-half of the directors then in office, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The directors may establish a greater quorum but may not establish a lower quorum.

Alternate Directors

-

- Under Article 15, any director may by notice in writing received by the Company appoint any person who is qualified to act as a director to be his or her alternate to act in his or her place at meetings of the directors or committees of the directors at which the appointor is not present. The Company proposes to amend the Articles by deleting Article 15 and all references to alternate directors.

Advance Notice Provisions: Article 16 sets forth the process by which shareholders may nominate individuals for election to the Board at a general meeting of shareholders (the "Advance Notice Provisions"). The Company proposes to amend the Advance Notice Provisions as follows:

-

- Under Article 16, paragraph 3, shareholder nominations must generally be submitted at least 30 days, but no more than 65 days before the originally scheduled meeting date. The Company proposes to amend the Articles by (a) removing the requirement that nominations cannot be submitted more than 65 days before the meeting and (b) providing that, when a meeting is postponed or adjourned, the applicable nomination deadline will be determined by reference to the new meeting date rather than solely by reference to the date originally scheduled for the meeting. The requirement that notice be provided at least 30 days before the meeting will remain unchanged.

- Under Article 16, paragraph 4, the Company may require a proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as an independent director or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder's understanding of the nominee's independence. The Company proposes to amend Article 16 to limit the additional information that may be required in connection with a shareholder nomination to information required under applicable securities laws and the rules and requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's voting securities are listed.

The complete text of the revised Amended Articles Resolution is set out below. A redline showing the proposed changes against the Company's current Articles will also be available on the Company's website at https://silvercorpmetals.com/agm-info/ for convenience.

Text of Revised Amended Articles Resolution (Item 3 in the Proxy)

The full text of the Amended Articles Resolution, as revised to (i) reflect the proposed amendments described above and (ii) clarify that the proposed amendments described in the Circular may be implemented concurrent with or shortly before the common shares of the Company are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is set forth below:

"BE IT RESOLVED as a special resolution that:

- The Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to amend the current Articles of the Company in the manner set forth in the press release of the Company issued and filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedarplus.ca on September 22, 2026.

- Subject to the Company determining to list the common shares of the Company on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the "Hong Kong Listing"), the Company be and is hereby authorized (but not required) to replace the current Articles of the Company with the Amended Articles as set out in Schedule "1" to the management proxy circular of the Company dated August 12, 2026 (updated to reflect the changes in paragraph 1) concurrently with or shortly before completion of the Hong Kong Listing.

- Any one director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to take all necessary steps and proceedings, including filing of such documents and taking such further actions that may be necessary to effect the amendment to the current Articles; to execute, or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such other documents and instruments; and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things, as such director or officer of the Company may consider to be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions, such necessity or desirability to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents or instruments or the taking of any such actions."

Your vote is important regardless of how many shares you own.

Vote your shares today.

The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOR of the Amended Articles Resolution, if they have not already done so, ahead of the proxy voting deadline on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time).

Proxies and voting instructions previously submitted will remain valid. A shareholder who has already voted and wishes to change their vote may submit a new proxy or voting instruction form before the extended deadline by following the instructions in the Circular and the proxy or voting instruction form included therewith. A properly submitted later-dated proxy or voting instruction will replace the shareholder's earlier instructions, provided it is received before the extended voting deadline.

The Company has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group ("Laurel Hill") to act as its proxy solicitation agent and shareholder engagement manager in connection with the Meeting. Laurel Hill will receive a fee of $30,000 for its services, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company has agreed to indemnify Laurel Hill against certain liabilities arising from its engagement. All costs associated with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, email, internet or other means of communication by Laurel Hill and by directors, officers and employees of the Company.

Shareholder Questions & Assistance

Shareholders who have questions about the Meeting or require assistance voting may contact Laurel Hill toll-free in North America at 1-877-452-7184, by collect call outside North America at 416-304-0211, or by email at [email protected].

HONG KONG, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, TECNO showcased the deep customization potential of its exploratory mobile AI agent, TECNO EllaClaw, through a tailored workflow ecosystem developed with leading global technology media outlet Digital Trends. Designed to address the real-world needs of digital content professionals and creators, the showcase highlights how TECNO is transforming Agentic AI into practical, personalized experiences that adapt to everyday workflows. Moving beyond generic mobile agentic AI, it demonstrates how TECNO's rapidly evolving AI capabilities enable customizable, system-level intelligence for users across different professions, industries and real-world scenarios, paving the way for the next generation of mobile AI experiences.

"As Agentic AI continues to evolve, we believe that the true value of phone-native Agentic AI should not be limited to rigid, pre-set functions," said Adrian Boly, President at Digital Trends Media Group. "It should have the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs and pain points of individual users, enabling intelligent solutions that are truly relevant to how they work. This collaboration with TECNO is an important first step in exploring what that level of customization can look like on a smartphone—and we believe there is much more to come."

Tailored Agentic AI Workflows Built for Digital Content Professionals

EllaClaw's flexible Agentic AI capabilities can be customized for a wide range of real-world scenarios and user needs. In this collaboration with Digital Trends, TECNO applied this flexibility to the daily workflows of technology journalists and content creators, ultimately narrowing the focus down to four representative scenarios that address key bottlenecks across the end-to-end content creation process.

News Background Research turns EllaClaw into an always-ready research agent. When journalists encounter a developing story, they can share with EllaClaw, which autonomously identifies the topic, searches across trusted and selected news sources in the background, and synthesizes the findings into a structured brief covering historical context, key developments, stakeholder perspectives and source references. The result can then be saved directly into the phone's Notes app, with an audio version available for quick listening — turning a fragmented research process into one continuous workflow. Building on these insights, Research-to-Script streamlines content planning by turning research into structured storyboards with multilingual script suggestions and supporting creative assets, helping creators move from ideas and research to production without manually switching between tools.

Personal Writing Style gives EllaClaw a persistent understanding of how each creator communicates. By analyzing user-provided writing samples, it builds a reusable style profile, and applies that profile when creating content for different platforms. The profile can continue to evolve with new samples and user feedback, allowing EllaClaw to become increasingly personalized over time. Finally, Social Media Risk-Word Check reviews content against platform-specific publishing considerations, helping creators reduce potential risks while preserving the effectiveness of their messaging.

Together, these workflows demonstrate how EllaClaw combines multiple AI capabilities into a seamless workflow experience, helping users spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on creativity, storytelling, and meaningful content.

Building the Future of Practical Agentic AI

While TECNO developed this customized showcase specifically for professional content creators, it demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of EllaClaw, highlighting how its Agentic AI capabilities can be adapted to diverse real-world scenarios.

Beyond intelligent automation, TECNO places user control, transparency, and privacy at the core of the EllaClaw experience. Designed as a digital co-pilot rather than an autopilot, EllaClaw supports users throughout the creative process while keeping every important decision in human hands. For content creation workflows, users review, refine, and approve every AI-generated output before publication, ensuring AI enhances productivity while creativity, judgment, and responsibility always remain with the user.

Standing at the forefront of intelligent innovation, TECNO continues transforming AI-powered technology into real-world value, empowering consumers worldwide to embrace a more intelligent and accessible future.

About TECNO

As a global innovative technology brand with operations in over 70 markets, TECNO has been committed to revolutionizing the digital experience in global emerging markets, relentlessly pushing for the perfect integration of contemporary, aesthetic design with the latest technologies and AI. TECNO offers a wide range of smartphones, smart wearables, laptops and tablets, smart gaming, HiOS operating systems and smart home products. Guided by its brand essence of "Stop At Nothing", TECNO is committed to unlocking the newest technologies and AI-powered new experiences for forward-looking individuals, inspiring them to never stop pursuing their best selves and their best futures.

Roborock Maintains Global No.1 Position in H1 2026

BEIJING, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock ranked No.1 globally by both unit shipments and sales value among robotic vacuum brands in H1 2026, according to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Vacuum Robotics Tracker, 2026Q2. The result further strengthens Roborock's sustained leadership in the category, with the company also ranking No.1 globally in cumulative sales value among robotic vacuum brands from Q1 2023 through Q2 2026, according to IDC.

The latest recognition comes as the global robotic vacuum market continues to evolve, with market concentration increasing and competition shifting toward technology innovation, premium products and deeper cleaning experiences. IDC reported that the global robotic vacuum market shipped 7.885 million units in Q2 2026, while leading brands continued to strengthen their positions in the increasingly concentrated market.

Roborock's continued leadership is underpinned by sustained investment in AI-powered perception, intelligent navigation, cleaning performance and robotic mobility. At IFA 2026, the company showcased its latest innovations across indoor and outdoor cleaning, including the Saros 20 Flow, Qrevo Edge 3 Pro, F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 and F25 Pro Turbo Combo, alongside its expanding outdoor robotics portfolio, including the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR robotic mower and RockAqua P1 robotic pool cleaner.

"Our mission is to give time back to our customers by automating everyday tasks," said Quan Gang, President of Roborock. "Building smarter robots is the means, not the goal. Every minute spent on housework is time taken away from family, passions, and personal well-being."

Roborock's global leadership is supported by continued investment in research and product development. In the first half of 2026, the company recorded RMB 10.084 billion in revenue, up 27.6% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 986 million, up 45.6% year on year. R&D investment reached RMB 720 million, representing 7.14% of revenue, supporting continued development across intelligent navigation, AI-powered environmental perception, cleaning systems and robotic mobility.

As robotic cleaning evolves from individual products toward broader, full-scenario applications, Roborock is expanding its robotics portfolio beyond robotic vacuum cleaners. Its sustained leadership in the category provides a foundation for bringing intelligent robotics into more areas of everyday life, with the goal of helping consumers spend less time on routine chores and more time on what matters to them.

GROWNSY Makes NANN Conference Debut, Partners with NANN and Pediatrician Dr. Molly O'Shea on NANNcast Episode Tackling Infant Nasal Congestion

The company exhibited for the first time at NANN's 42nd Annual Conference in West Palm Beach and will sponsor a NANNcast episode exploring why newborns are so vulnerable to nasal congestion — and what neonatal nurses and parents can do about it.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GROWNSY, a baby care innovator trusted by over 3 million households globally, today announced its first-ever exhibit presence at NANN's 42nd Annual Conference, "The Art of Neonatal Nursing: Care in Color," which took place September 15–18, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida. The conference brought together neonatal nurses, NICU leaders, and advanced practice clinicians from across the country for several days of education, clinical innovation, and community.

GROWNSY at NANN

For GROWNSY, participating in NANN was an opportunity to listen and learn from the professionals who understand the NICU journey firsthand. Families returning home after a NICU stay often face a new set of challenges as they adjust to everyday care outside the hospital. By connecting with neonatal nurses and other healthcare professionals, GROWNSY hopes to better understand these families' needs and continue developing thoughtful solutions that support parents beyond discharge.

At the NANN conference, GROWNSY showcased a selection of baby and postpartum care solutions designed to support families as they transition from the NICU to life at home. The display included the SniffEase line of nasal care solutions, alongside the Compact Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, Electronic Infant Scale with Height Measurement, Postpartum Recovery Kit, and Perineal Massage and Pelvic Floor Wand. Together, the products reflect GROWNSY's focus on helping parents navigate the everyday feeding, hygiene, health, and recovery needs that continue after leaving the NICU.

"Being at NANN for the first time was a privilege. Meeting the nurses who guide families from the NICU to home reinforced why we build what we build." said Yvonne, CEO of GROWNSY.

The NANN experience also marks an opportunity for GROWNSY to continue building its understanding of the NICU-to-home journey. By listening to healthcare professionals and families, GROWNSY aims to identify where thoughtful design can provide meaningful support in the everyday routines that follow discharge, while continuing to learn from the experts who care for families during this important transition.

Coming Soon to NANNcast: Dr. Molly O'Shea on Infant Nasal Congestion

GROWNSY also partnered with NANN and pediatrician Dr. Molly O'Shea on an upcoming episode of NANNcast, NANN's official podcast for neonatal nursing professionals. Expected to air in October 2026, the episode will offer a closer look at infant nasal congestion and practical guidance that neonatal nurses can share with families.

Dr. Molly will discuss why newborns are particularly susceptible to congestion, how parents can better understand when suctioning may be appropriate, and approaches to nasal suctioning that prioritize safe and thoughtful care.

The conversation will also touch on tools parents may use at home, including GROWNSY's SniffEase Spa 3-in-1 Nasal Aspirator.

Accels has been serving customers in recent years. The company's plans extend far beyond routing

Token Is Becoming a Managed Asset.

The Economics of AI Are Entering a New Phase.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise spending on AI tokens is growing faster than the systems designed to track it. A McKinsey study found that enterprise LLM spending tripled in twelve months, even as the cost per token fell sharply — because companies are running more complex workloads across more workflows. Goldman Sachs projects token consumption will increase 24-fold by 2030. And yet, for most companies, token spending remains a black box: unpredictable, difficult to forecast, and impossible to finance.

"Token consumption is already one of the fastest-growing costs on the enterprise P&L," said Raymond, CEO of Accels. "But it is still managed with spreadsheets and manual reconciliation. There is no infrastructure for treating token usage the way finance teams treat any other material input — something to be measured, optimized, and financed."

One company that has been operating in this space is Accels, whose routing product, Accels Router, has been serving customers in recent years. The platform provides reliable, low-latency access to a wide range of large language models, and is now being upgraded and expanded to cover 15 leading model providers and more than 150 AI models through a single API.

The team behind Accels has spent the past several years researching and building at the intersection of AI infrastructure and financial services. That experience shaped a key design principle: routing data, billing data, and credit assessment should operate as a single system, rather than separate products stitched together. The goal is that a company's actual token consumption patterns — how much it uses, how predictably, at what cost — will inform its credit profile and financing terms.

The company's plans extend far beyond routing. Accels is exploring a broader set of capabilities designed for how AI agents actually operate, spend, and grow — with the intention of helping businesses manage token consumption as both an operational input and a financial resource.

"The companies that will win in AI are not just the ones with the best models," said Raymond. "They are the ones that can manage the economics of running agents at scale. That requires infrastructure that understands tokens as both an operational input and a financial resource."

About Accels

Accels is headquartered in Singapore and is dedicated to building AI infrastructure for the agentic economy. Combining deep experience in financial services with a growing AI infrastructure business, Accels aims to launch inclusive, accessible financial products that help businesses and developers participate in — and benefit from — the growth of AI agents and the token economy that powers them.
