Product Launch

Minneapolis – September 22, 2026 -- Perforce Software has launched Delphix Synthetic Data, a tool it calls the first AI-native solution capable of generating realistic, referentially intact test data across enterprise systems on demand.

Perforce says the tool cuts test data wait times from weeks to minutes

The platform automatically scans metadata, schemas, and data relationships across source systems, removing the manual configuration required by legacy synthetic data tools. Developers, testers, and AI agents can describe the data they need using natural language prompts and receive it immediately, according to the company, rather than waiting days or weeks as with prior methods.

Perforce positions the tool for use cases where production data is restricted, incomplete, or unavailable, including new feature development, edge-case testing, and agentic development workflows.

Beijing – September 22, 2026 -- ADAMA Ltd. (SZSE 000553) has launched Actagon®, a ready-mix pre-emergent herbicide for wheat growers in India, targeting the herbicide-resistant grass weed Phalaris minor.

ADAMA combines two active ingredients into a single ready-mix formulation

Actagon® blends pyroxasulfone and metribuzin in one liquid formulation applied pre-emergence, eliminating the need for on-farm tank mixing. The dual-mode combination is designed to deliver long-lasting control of Phalaris minor along with other grass and broadleaf weeds while supporting resistance management strategies.

Launch targets Punjab and Haryana, India's top wheat-growing states

The rollout focuses on regions where Phalaris minor pressure is highest and farmers face mounting difficulty controlling the weed. Actagon® is registered in India, with commercial launch expected in September 2026.

San Francisco – September 22, 2026 -- The Biological Computing Co. (TBC) has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring what it calls the world's first neuron-derived AI video model to market, cutting inference costs by 80% and speeding generation by 5x compared to the base open-source model.

TBC's software layer runs on standard AI infrastructure without new hardware

The optimization is delivered through a proprietary software layer derived from measurements of living neural activity. The layer adds less than 0.1% to the underlying model's footprint, requires no biological hardware, and demands no change to existing customer workflows, according to TBC.

San Francisco – September 22, 2026 -- Handshake, the career network for the AI economy, has launched AI Skills Studio, a free learning hub offering hands-on AI projects to more than one million employers on its platform. The tool was built with partners including Clay, Figma, Gamma, Google, Lovable, Notion, OpenAI, Replit, Salesforce, Southern New Hampshire University, and Vercel.

Job seekers complete AI 'missions' in 10 to 45 minutes using real practitioner tools

AI Skills Studio offers personalized, project-based missions that produce a tangible output, ranging from automated workflows to working software. An AI Skills Instructor guides learners through the process, and early users have built interactive games, data dashboards, personal portfolios, and sales and marketing tools.

Poughkeepsie, N.Y. – September 22, 2026 -- Marist University and IBM have launched an Innovation Incubator equipped with an IBM z17 mainframe, extending their five-decade partnership into university-wide artificial intelligence research.

IBM z17 mainframe brings enterprise-scale AI computing to Marist campus

IBM provided the z17 system to give students and faculty access to enterprise technology built for the performance, security and reliability demands of large organizations, enabling hands-on application development and testing.

Atlanta – September 22, 2026 -- Siemba has launched general availability of Siemba MCP, a Model Context Protocol server that lets security and engineering teams run penetration tests and generate finished security analysis by chatting directly with AI assistants, eliminating the need for a separate dashboard login.

Six packaged skills replace manual dashboard analysis

Siemba MCP ships as a single plugin containing a connector and six named skills: Test Analysis, Kill Chain, Critical Briefing, Remediation Plan, Attack Surface, and CISO Report. Test Analysis reads login screenshots to diagnose failed authenticated test runs caused by bad credentials or unexpected multi-factor prompts. Kill Chain maps individual findings into full attack paths, rating each chain by its weakest link rather than raw severity and naming the single fix that breaks the most chains at once.

Santa Clara, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Palo Alto Networks has launched Unit 42 Continuous Frontier AI Defense, a new agentic offensive security service built on Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Cyber models, aimed at helping enterprises find and fix exposures before attackers exploit them at machine speed.

The service responds to a shift in attacker capability: threat actors using AI have compressed breach cycles by nearly 97% in some cases, cutting the time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation from weeks to hours, according to Palo Alto Networks.

Montreal – September 22, 2026 -- AECOM used One Click LCA's Carbon Designer 3D platform to model whole-life carbon emissions for a major transportation corridor redevelopment in the City of Montreal before detailed engineering plans existed, enabling early comparison of low-carbon design options.

City of Montreal targets a low-carbon, climate-resilient district

The municipality launched the redevelopment to transform the corridor and surrounding neighborhood into a climate-resilient zone, requiring comparison of early design concepts before detailed designs were finalized.

Denver – September 22, 2026 -- Tres Picosos has launched its Tres Locos Mexican food brand in a self-service kiosk at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) Terminal 1, Concourse G, marking a new automated-retail partnership with airport vending operator Evolvending.

Kiosk delivers hot burritos and tacos around the clock at MSP

The Tres Locos kiosk at MSP, which serves the Delta Air Lines concourse, offers Bacon Breakfast, Chicken Fajita, Picadillo Beef and Pork Carnitas burritos alongside street-style tacos, giving travelers hot food access outside standard concession hours.

U.S. hot food vending market set to nearly double by 2036

Vending Times projects the U.S. and Canada hot food vending machine industry will grow to $9.6 billion by 2036, up from $5.5 billion in early 2026, a trend Tres Picosos says it intends to capture through additional airport placements planned in coming months.

Centreville, Va. – September 22, 2026 -- Just 17% of security leaders are extremely confident in their ability to detect identity-based threats, even though 82% now consider identity the new security perimeter, according to research from CIO Dive's Studio conducted in partnership with ID Dataweb. The same research found 43% of leaders cite fragmented identity systems as their top obstacle to defense.

ID Dataweb, an identity threat detection and risk mitigation provider, released a new buyer's guide, "Identity Threat Detection & Risk Mitigation," aimed at executive and senior security leaders navigating a fragmented vendor landscape. The guide argues that feature checklists and point-product comparisons no longer capture whether a security platform can function as a cohesive, end-to-end system.
