Managing the economics of multi-agent AI now dictates the financial viability of modern business automation workflows.Organisations progressing past standard chat interfaces into multi-agent applications face two primary constraints. The first issue is the thinking tax; complex autonomous agents need to reason at each stage, making the reliance on massive architectures for every subtask too expensive and slow for practical enterprise use.Context explosion acts as the second hurdle; these advanced workflows produce up to 1,500 percent more tokens than standard formats because every interaction demands the resending of full system histories, intermediate reasoning, and tool outputs. Across extended tasks, this token…

When Romy Gai, FIFA’s chief business officer, described the operational challenge of running a 48-team World Cup across Canada, Mexico and the United States, he was not talking about technology. He was talking about complexity.Previous World Cups relied on local organising committees to absorb much of the logistical load. For 2026, FIFA is running operations directly. Six billion people are expected to watch. There are 104 matches, up from 64 in Qatar. There are 48 teams instead of 32, 180-plus broadcasters, and no single national infrastructure to lean on. The scale is genuinely new.The AI strategy FIFA unveiled at Lenovo Tech World in Hong Kong this week is best understood against that…

Virtual simulation data is driving the development of physical AI across corporate environments, led by initiatives like Ai2’s MolmoBot.Instructing hardware to interact with the real world has historically relied on highly expensive and manually-collected demonstrations. Technology providers building generalist manipulation agents typically frame extensive real-world training as the basis for these systems.For some context, projects like DROID include 76,000 teleoperated trajectories gathered across 13 institutions, representing roughly 350 hours of human effort. Google DeepMind’s RT-1 required 130,000 episodes collected over 17 months by human operators. This reliance on proprietary, manual data collection inflates research budgets and concentrates capabilities within a…

ADLINK Technology has signed a strategic alliance and joint development agreement with Under Control Robotics, the company behind the robotics startup Noble Machines. The two firms will combine ADLINK’s edge AI platforms with Noble Machines’ autonomy software to create a new generation of general-purpose robots for modern manufactories and engineering plants. The work focuses on bi-pedal, bi-manual machines – read, human-like robots – designed to operate in demanding industrial settings. The partnership will integrate ADLINK’s DLAP edge AI platform with Noble Machines’ autonomy and whole-body control software. The system is intended to provide reasoning, sensing, and motion control for robots…

A new ABB and NVIDIA partnership shows physical AI simulation is driving real ROI in factory automation and solving production hurdles.Manufacturers have often found it difficult to make intelligent robotics work reliably outside testing environments. The core issue is the gap between digital training models and actual factory floors, where lighting, material physics, and part variations refuse to behave as they do on a screen.Historically, this friction has previously forced engineering teams to fall back on physical prototypes, delaying product launches and driving up costs.Overcoming the digital to physical AI simulation divideThe partnership between ABB Robotics and NVIDIA attempts to…
