Raleigh, N.C. – September 15, 2026 -- Nutrient has made its Data Extraction API generally available, targeting enterprises that need traceable, audit-ready structured data from PDFs, scans, images, and Office files to power AI agents and RAG systems.

Nutrient ties every extracted field to a bounding box and page reference

The extract endpoint maps documents to a customer-defined or auto-generated JSON Schema and returns each field with a page reference, source blocks, a confidence signal, and a grounding label. Fields marked "fuzzy_match" or "not_found" route automatically to human review, while high-confidence matches proceed directly into downstream workflows.

San Francisco – – September 15, 2026 -- Twenty-one venture capital firms will co-host the second annual Connected Stack Enterprise AI Summit on September 10, 2026, at The Presidio Theatre, with Anthropic Head of Americas Kate Jensen delivering the keynote address.

Anthropic executive to discuss agentic ROI measurement with True Ventures partner

Jensen, who leads Anthropic's enterprise sales and partnerships across the Americas, will join True Ventures Partner Mike Montano for a session titled "Real ROI: How the Agentic Enterprise Measures What Matters."

San Francisco – September 14, 2026 -- Dashverse's AI filmmaking agent Frameo scored 88.7 out of 100 in an independent human evaluation, finishing nearly 20 points ahead of the second-placed system among eight AI video agents tested.

Frameo beats Runway, Luma and Kling in 800-video evaluation

The benchmark, Arc v1.0 Movie, was published by Physion Labs and compared Frameo against Runway Agent 2.0, Luma Creative Agents, Kling Canvas Agent, Invideo Agent One and four other AI filmmaking agents. Evaluators reviewed 800 videos generated from 100 prompts, scoring each system across 16 metrics covering narrative coherence, cinematic language and production quality. Frameo ranked first on 13 of the 16 metrics, including all eight human-preference categories.

St. Louis – September 14, 2026 -- Island Roadhouse Data Centers has detailed design plans for an atomic-powered, low-water data center campus in Missouri offering up to 154 MW of sellable IT load in its first phase, targeting commercial operation in 2034.

Campus design generates its own power behind the meter using advanced atomic reactors

The facility is planned to run on advanced atomic reactors in an N+1 configuration for reactor-level redundancy, with heat converted to electricity via an indirect closed supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle. The campus is not designed to export power to the grid; all generation is intended to serve the on-site compute load directly.

Los Angeles – September 14, 2026 -- Hyper3D has launched WorldGen, a world-generation model that converts a single image into a 3D scene made up of independent, editable objects, extending the company's generative 3D technology beyond single-object creation into full scene reconstruction for robotics, filmmaking and game development.
