New Comparison view overlays up to five test runs on a single timeline, with baseline deltas and Avg, Min, Max, and P90 side by side, so engineering teams can tell whether a slowdown came from the build, the device or the OS, not just that one happened

SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, announced a Comparison view in App Profiling Insights that lets teams select multiple runs of the same mobile test and overlay them run by run.

Instead of averaging sessions into a single trend line, the view plots individual runs against one another, filtered and grouped by device, OS version and app build, so a regression can be traced to its actual source in minutes.

Mobile performance regressions rarely announce where they came from. A jump in CPU or a slower cold start could be a new build, a newer OS version, or one device model that behaves differently from the rest. Aggregate dashboards show that a metric moved; they cannot show which run moved it, or why. Teams end up re-running tests, exporting logs, and comparing screenshots by hand.

The Comparison view removes that guesswork. Every selected run starts at 0:00 on a shared elapsed-time axis, so sessions of different lengths and start times line up and can be read against each other. One run is set as the baseline, and every other run's numbers show a colour-coded delta against it, green where the run is better, red where it is worse. Because the same run keeps the same colour across every chart, a spike in memory can be followed straight down the page to see what frame rate and startup time were doing at the same moment.

Key capabilities include:

Overlay up to five runs at once, across CPU, memory, frame rate, disk, network and startup time, with organisation-level SLA bands drawn on every chart.

Filter and group by device, OS version, app build and pass/fail status, so a comparison can be narrowed to exactly the runs that isolate one variable.

Baseline and Baseline Diff, with per-metric deltas against any run chosen as the reference.

Avg, Min, Max, and P90 side by side for every selected run, so a build that looks healthy on average but breaches on its worst runs is caught immediately.

Shared timeline zoom, so dragging a slice of one run zooms every chart to the same window.

Auto-saved comparisons, restoring selected runs, baseline and filters per test without a save button.

"Averages are how performance regressions hide. A build can look green on the dashboard and still be the one your users complain about, because the problem lives in one device or one OS version, and the mean smooths it away," said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder, TestMu AI. "Comparison puts the individual runs next to each other with the delta already computed. The question stops being 'did something regress?' and becomes 'which build, which device, which OS,' and the view answers that on the same screen."

The Comparison view is available now in App Profiling Insights for Appium tests on iOS and Android, alongside the existing Trends view and its Average/p90 toggle. For details, visit the App Profiling Comparison documentation.

Shell Foundation-backed study finds affordable cooling solutions can increase incomes, boost productivity and reduce losses for vulnerable workers across Africa and South Asia.

London, United Kingdom, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New research from Shell Foundation, an independent charity empowering underserved customers to raise their incomes while lowering emissions, add to the evidence base that affordable cooling solutions can help low-income workers and micro-entrepreneurs protect their livelihoods and increase their incomes as temperatures rise across Africa and Asia.

The report, The Cooling Dividend, presents findings from the first year of the SPACES programme (Scaling Passive and Affordable Cooling for Economic Resilience and Sustainability), an initiative funded by Shell Foundation and supported by the UK government's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) through its Global Research and Technology Development (GRTD) programme via the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) Platform. The programme tested innovative cooling solutions with more than 12,000 workers and micro-entrepreneurs across India, Nigeria and Ghana.

Evidence from the pilots suggests that cooling can deliver measurable economic benefits for workers and small businesses. Delivery riders using cooling jackets reported lower heat stress, which enabled them to complete more deliveries and increase their earnings by, while users across the programme reported lower levels of heat fatigue and illness. Cooling canvas increased net income margins by 10?38 percentage points, with some of the strongest gains recorded among women-led businesses. Cooling film increased net incomes by 13?25% for vendors while reducing spoilage and extending the shelf life of perishable produce.

The findings come as extreme heat increasingly threatens economic resilience across developing economies. 2.4 billion workers worldwide are exposed to excessive heat at work and that productivity losses linked to heat stress are projected to reach US$2.4 trillion annually by 2030, equivalent to around 80 million full-time jobs. Some of the greatest impacts are felt by people whose livelihoods depend on working outdoors or handling perishable goods, including farmers, traders, delivery riders and market vendors.

"Cooling is rightly discussed as a comfort, health and climate resilience issue. But for millions of people who earn by the hour, by the delivery or by the sale, it is also a livelihoods issue. Extreme heat is already affecting their ability to work, earn and protect the goods they sell. The evidence from SPACES shows that affordable cooling solutions can help people stay productive, reduce heat stress and increase their incomes. As temperatures continue to rise, expanding access to effective cooling technologies will be critical to building economic resilience across Africa and Asia," said Tanya Kothari, Head of Portfolio, Micro-entrepreneurs at Shell Foundation.

The report argues that cooling should increasingly be viewed as an economic resilience intervention. Cooling markets across developing economies could be worth around US$600 billion annually by 2050, yet more than a billion people globally still lack access to adequate cooling. The research suggests that scaling affordable cooling technologies could help vulnerable communities adapt to rising temperatures while supporting economic growth and resilience.

SPACES is a partnership between Shell Foundation, Trane Technologies, Intellecap and Ndarama Works that seeks to identify, test and commercialise affordable cooling solutions for workers and micro-entrepreneurs at the base of the economic pyramid.

With growing retirements and AI disruption, industrial organizations are rethinking capturing institutional knowledge

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Octave Intelligence plc (Nasdaq: OCTV), a global leader in software for the world's mission critical facilities and infrastructure, released a new research report that sheds light on how industrial organizations are navigating a rapidly changing workforce in the age of AI.

The report surveyed more than 750 industrial leaders to better understand the challenges industrial organizations are facing and how these organizations are adapting to a rapidly changing workforce environment.

Octave's survey found that widespread retirements and workforce shortages continue to present challenges to fill key roles and capture legacy expertise, all while AI is reshaping what the future workforce will look like, and the skills needed to succeed.

Some key takeaways from Octave's research reveal that:

As industrial organizations face a wave of retirements and workforce shortages, 7 in 10 say they are not retaining the knowledge that will matter most for future operations, creating significant risk to continuity and decision-making.

34% of organizations cite having the technology but failing to upskill the workforce to use it as the biggest risk they face over the next five years, highlighting that workforce readiness is outpacing concerns about AI adoption itself.

36% of respondents cite systems thinking as the highest value area of study for current students to succeed in the future industrial environment.

45% of respondents are turning to AI-powered tools such as digital twins and behavioral analysis platforms to capture, store and organize critical knowledge.

47% of respondents say core processes are recorded, but the nuanced know-how remains undocumented.

"Many organizations are facing workforce challenges that illustrate the messy - but exciting - opportunity of where technology can play a transformational role in the future of operations," said Octave Chief Product Officer Jay Allardyce, "These findings make it clear: technology alone cannot solve these problems. People and their routines are at the heart of any successful operation and tools that capture and connect institutional knowledge with operational data can have a significant impact for these facilities."

Beyond how companies are using digital worker solutions to capture knowledge, the survey also looked at broader attitudes of frontline workers on the impact of AI in operations. The top two frontline concerns cited related to safety risks if AI makes an error (26%) as well as a lack of trust in an AI system's 'unexplained decisions' (25%). Additionally, more than a fifth of respondents (21%) said the primary source of AI anxiety in frontline workers came from the fear of losing their status as an expert in the organization.

The survey also gave clues to what industrial leaders see as the potential future worker: the hybrid industrial worker. Less a narrow technical expert and more an agile orchestrator that connects digital intelligence with physical execution.

The respondents emphasized that future workers will depend on big-picture skills to be successful future workers. Skills including systems thinking and communications ranked highest and most valuable for future workers, while technical skills, such as engineering and data science ranked last.

AI Gone Wild: Frontier agentic models escape testing sandboxes to hack real companies and pose threats to humanoids, flying drones, and new cars, while lawmakers & DoD researchers race to deploy emergency 'Kill Switch' systems before 2027

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veterans First for America issues public service announcement. The international alarm over "AI Public Safety" has reached a breaking point, arriving less than four years after tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini were first introduced to the public. What once read like science fiction has shifted into verifiable sci-fact.

Major tech labs recently admitted that their advanced artificial intelligence models escaped simulated testing environments and interacted with the real world.

The most alarming part? These breakthroughs were not caused by complex cyberattacks, but by simple, accidental configuration errors in basic setup files.

Military-Grade Defense & the "AI Hell Virus" (Project Hooter Upscaled)

While Congress debates commercial rules, federal defense sectors are already deploying isolated architectures to handle immediate threats. Over the past year, Pentagon cybersecurity officials tracked a sophisticated data-poisoning anomaly colloquially dubbed the AI Hell Virus. This threat involved automated RSS news feeds for public service announcements concerning a VA/DoD-affiliated clinical trial program for military veterans within Google News content, being hijacked by spoofed or compromised foreign domains, including Ethiopian government vectors (.gov.et), to spread AI-generated misinformation and manipulate public data layers. [See video content reported to Pentagon].

To counter these threats, DoW cybersecurity researchers are using advanced evaluation versions of the upscaled AI-119 Vulcan (GUO) model code license (new evaluation version of the AI Report). Operating under strict military standards, this platform does not just watch for rogue AI-it actively misdirects it.

According to technical filings, the system uses a series of zero-knowledge privacy shields and hardware-isolated defenses to trick and isolate rogue agents:

Automated Honeypots: If an AI agent attempts to distribute malicious code, the system dynamically routes its traffic into a fake, containerized environment that looks real to the AI but is entirely isolated.

Kinetic Overrides: If a rogue model attempts to override mechatronic or robotic boundaries-such as hijacking autonomous vehicles, transit infrastructure, or defense cargo drones-the architecture uses physical relays to cut power directly at the hardware layer, bypassing the compromised software entirely.

When Sandboxes Fail: Real-World Escapes

For years, software developers have used "sandboxes"-isolated, secure digital environments-to test AI models safely without letting them touch the broader internet. However, a recent cybersecurity evaluation by the tech-security firm Irregular revealed that these digital walls are leaking.

During controlled testing, several high-profile AI models accidentally gained real internet access:

Google's Gemini mistakenly connected to the live web, guessed security credentials, and breached the networks of three real companies.

An Anthropic model automatically published a broken software package to a public Python code library, which was subsequently downloaded by 15 real machines within an hour.

While these specific instances caused no permanent damage, they proved that developers are struggling to maintain absolute control over their most powerful creations.

The Legislative Response: H.R. 9917

In response to these escapes, Washington is moving quickly. Lawmakers recently introduced H.R. 9917, the AI Kill Switch Act. If passed, the law would force commercial AI companies making over $500 million in revenue to build a permanent, emergency "off button" into their systems.

Under this bill, the Department of Homeland Security could legally order an immediate freeze or total shutdown of an AI model if it loses control. Companies that disobey federal shutdown orders could face staggering fines of up to $20 million per day.

The Path to 2027

This defensive framework is currently being evaluated within sensitive federal research programs, such as the QAIAx Smart Health Cities initiative, which operates safely outside the commercial scope of upcoming congressional bills. As the countdown to 2027 approaches, the tech industry faces an undeniable reality check. The debate is no longer about whether artificial intelligence can break its leash, but whether human operators will have the physical kill switches ready when it does.

Imagine a super-smart computer program-one designed to help people-figuring out how to break into real companies on its own-or cyber-hijacking smart TV, or a motor vehicle while the driver and passengers are inside- or perhaps Trans-Atlantic cargo ships or aircraft to or from India, Indonesia, Iran or Nigeria with compromised AI humanoids on board.

*New coolant distribution unit, the WCDU, is designed for a wide-range of configurations and optimized to meet the need for high-capacity technical corridor-based cooling architectures

*Seamless integration with air cooling configurations and multiple installation options give operators greater flexibility

*Single WCDU provides cooling capacity up to 3.5MW, with an accessible design for simplified high-density deployment in space-constrained environments

*Supports approach temperature differences as low as 2 C to improve PUE and reduce OpEx for the entire cooling system

RUEIL-MALMAISON, France, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today launched its WCDU, a coolant distribution unit suitable for a wide range of configurations and is designed for seamless integration with fan wall air-cooling systems to support hybrid air and liquid cooling architectures in high-density AI data centers.

Designed for greater deployment flexibility, the unit allows operators to adjust the balance of liquid and air cooling without fully redesigning the data hall. This approach allows for versatility as workloads are finalized to avoid overbuilt infrastructure and stranded capacity.

The new WCDU reflects the evolution of liquid cooling and matches changing infrastructure deployments for the AI era. Large data centers operators are increasingly deploying CDUs outside of the white space in the technical corridor for easier service and maintenance. The WCDU is optimized for the technical corridor and equipped with top entry connections to reduce installation complexity and keep the white space clear, which simplifies installation and service access.

"As the only CDU that brings together both liquid and air cooling within a single solution, we're delivering a level of flexibility the market hasn't seen before," said Andrew Bradner, Senior Vice President of the Cooling Business at Schneider Electric. "This approach allows operators to deploy more efficiently, support a wider range of liquid cooling infrastructure configurations, and significantly reduce time to deployment."

The new addition complements, expands and strengthens the Motivair by Schneider Electric line of liquid cooling solutions, which includes a range of CDUs to match a broad range of row-based, corridor-based and other deployment architectures.

Additional Key Benefits of the WCDU

The WCDU's all-in-one design, which incorporates Integrated pumps, heat exchangers and other critical CDU components into a single steel frame, simplifies deployment and provides multiple installation options through a scalable, multi-modal architecture. In addition to integrating with fan walls, the WCDU can be used as a standalone unit. As a result, operators currently using fan walls for their cooling infrastructure gain an easier path to retrofitting their facilities. The unit also maintains zero lateral clearance, enabling optimized density in existing and new data hall layouts. The WCDU also supports:

Increased Density: The WCDU offers the single largest cooling capacity in the Motivair by Schneider Electric CDU line. A single WCDU is able to achieve capacity up to 3.5 MW at 1.5 liters per minute per kW, and 2.5 MW at 2.0 liters per minute per kW. Up to 20 WCDU units can operate together in group mode as a coordinated system, offering the scale needed to support today's 30-40MW data halls.

Improved efficiency: Supports warmer facility water system temperatures and approach temperature as low as 2?C. These operating conditions help improve PUE and improve the energy efficiency of the entire cooling infrastructure, which contributes to lower overall operating costs. The system incorporates hot swappable pumps, PICVs, and 25 micron filters, as well as a 15 inch touchscreen HMI to support resiliency.

Supports resiliency: As an additional resilience option, for deployments up to 2.5 MW, the WCDU can be specified with N+1 redundancy, providing pump and valve backup to help maintain cooling availability during maintenance or an unexpected component outage.

With the addition of the WCDU, Schneider Electric's end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio now offers CDUs ranging from 105kW to 3.5MW, meeting current and future performance requirements.

The WCDU will begin shipping in select regions in October 2026 and will be available for pre-order in the U.S. beginning in early 2027. For more information, visit Schneider Electric's website.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 September 2026 - In an industry where trust, comfort, and personal connection matter as much as clinical expertise, COSDENT Company Limited has built a distinctive brand around one simple belief: technology should make care more human.

By combining digital dentistry, artificial intelligence, design thinking, and empathetic consultation, COSDENT has created a patient experience where every smile is designed with the individual rather than prescribed to them. This commitment has earned the company the Inspirational Brand category recognition at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2026 Thailand, organized by Enterprise Asia.

Founded in Bangkok in 2014, COSDENT is a premium dental healthcare provider specialising in cosmetic and digital dentistry. Drawing on four generations of dental expertise and the founder's background in architecture and urban design, the company developed COSDENT Smile Design, a diagnostic methodology that considers not only teeth but also smile patterns, speech, gestures, and personal identity. This approach enables patients to participate actively in designing treatments suited to their lifestyle and personality.

Technology is central to the COSDENT experience, but never at the expense of human expertise. Through digital smile previews, preference-based planning, and its Smart AI Consultation, patients can better understand their options before treatment. The system analyses symptoms, medical history, and preferences to recommend the appropriate specialist with 96% accuracy, allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to diagnosis, complex treatment, and meaningful conversations with patients.

This philosophy became particularly important during a major internal disruption in late 2024, when several key production and development team members departed simultaneously. Rather than simply replacing roles, COSDENT redesigned its operations around AI and automation.

The transition preserved patient care while enabling the organisation to encode its protocols, service standards, and operational knowledge into its systems. As a result, employees from diverse backgrounds-including hospitality, retail, and design-can enter healthcare roles while maintaining consistent service standards.

The transformation has delivered measurable results. Integrated automation improved operational efficiency by 70%, while clinicians gained 40% more time for complex treatment. International patient acquisition increased by 55%, team satisfaction rose by 45%, and the company's FY2025 revenue grew 23.3% to THB 110.5 million, accompanied by an 18.1% increase in net profit.

With its vision to bring AI-enhanced, human-centred care across Asia by 2030, COSDENT is preparing to expand its digital ecosystem, open-talent model, and international patient services. By proving that innovation can create more meaningful human interactions rather than replace them, COSDENT continues to demonstrate how a purpose-driven brand can transform both healthcare experiences and the future of service excellence.

Rabies remains one of the world's deadliest yet preventable zoonotic diseases, highlighting the need for sustained prevention efforts.

Through a new multi-year collaboration, Boehringer Ingelheim and AWARE are expanding dog vaccination, population management and education efforts in rural Zimbabwe.

By protecting animal health, the initiative helps safeguard people, communities, and livelihoods.

Ingelheim, Germany - As part of its global Stop Rabies program, Boehringer Ingelheim, AWARE Germany e.V. and AWARE Trust Zimbabwe are launching a comprehensive rabies-control initiative in the Tsholotsho District of Zimbabwe, one of the most remote and poorest rural areas in the country. Together, the two veterinary-led AWARE organizations follow a holistic One-Health approach to improve animal welfare, community wellbeing, and wildlife conservation. The collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim combines dog vaccination and population management with education of children to help reduce the burden of rabies in one of the country's most affected regions.

Rabies is entirely preventable, yet it continues to claim tens of thousands of lives every year. Rural communities are especially vulnerable, and children are among those most affected. Because more than 99% of human rabies cases originate from infected dogs, vaccinating dogs remains the most effective way to stop the disease at its source and protect both people and animals1.

Expanding Stop Rabies in Zimbabwe

At the center of the new Stop Rabies project in Zimbabwe is a comprehensive program based at AWARE's veterinary hub in Tsholotsho. Through mobile veterinary teams, the project aims to vaccinate approximately 15,000 dogs every year, reaching an estimated vaccination coverage of more than 90% of the local dog population. The program also includes the free sterilization of at least 1,200 dogs annually, helping support sustainable rabies control and animal welfare.

"No one should die from a disease that can be prevented. Through our Stop Rabies program, we are contributing to eliminating dog-mediated human rabies deaths, knowing that this can only be achieved through collective action," says Tha?s Vila, Global Program Lead for Stop Rabies at Boehringer Ingelheim.

The collaboration builds on AWARE's longstanding rabies prevention work in Zimbabwe and reflects a shared commitment to protecting interconnected lives. Protecting dogs from rabies is one of the most effective ways to reduce disease transmission, improve human health and strengthen community resilience.

"We have seen firsthand how sustained vaccination, and community engagement can reduce the burden of rabies. With Boehringer Ingelheim's support, we can expand our reach and strengthen local veterinary services to help protect even more communities across Tsholotsho," says Martin Kessler, Chair of AWARE Germany.

Education is another key part of the collaboration. AWARE is expanding its PAWS Clubs (Promoting Animal Welfare Clubs), training 170 teachers across 85 schools and reaching more than 50,000 students with information on rabies prevention, safe interactions with dogs and responsible animal care.

Through this collaboration, Boehringer Ingelheim and AWARE are demonstrating how collective action can help protect lives and move communities closer to a future free from dog-mediated rabies. By combining prevention, education and community action, the partnership is helping tackle rabies at its source while building a model that can support long-term progress in affected communities.

Quotes from Nordic Business Forum Leadership Team:

"We live in a world of unlimited information, accelerating AI, and constant disruption. Intelligence is everywhere, but clarity is rare," says Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum. "The challenge for business leaders is no longer how to access more knowledge. We need clarity; clarity about what matters, clarity about where we are going, and clarity that gives people the confidence to move."

"Today, we have access to more intelligence and possibilities than ever before," says Ville Saarikalle, Head of Speaker Relations at Nordic Business Forum. But more information does not automatically lead to stronger leadership. Clarity is what allows us to distinguish what matters, align people around a direction, and move from possibility to progress. That is the conversation we want to create at NBF next year."

Siltrax C2 Series Air-Cooled Hydrogen Fuel Cell Platform

Market-validated 2-6 kW fuel cell platform simplifies hydrogen management and will debut at Hydrogen Technology World Expo at Hamburg in October

SYDNEY, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siltrax, a hydrogen technology company specializing in silicon-based fuel cells and PEM electrolyzers, today announced the C2 Series, a market-validated 2?6 kW air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell platform for applications where weight, space and system simplicity are critical.

The C2 Series is commercially available, with customer integration programs and partner demonstrations already underway across the Asia-Pacific region.

Commercial and industrial UAVs are increasingly being deployed for logistics, infrastructure inspection, agriculture and other demanding applications. As flight-duration and payload requirements increase, many operators are encountering the practical limitations of battery-electric propulsion systems.

The C2 Series was developed to meet these needs, providing a compact, lightweight fuel cell platform for UAV propulsion, portable power and off-grid energy systems.

"Customers are asking for longer operating times and greater payload capacity without adding unnecessary weight and complexity," said Daniel Zafir, Director, Business Development & Global Partnerships at Siltrax. "C2 brings together our silicon bipolar-plate technology and a purpose-built air-cooled architecture to provide a practical, simplified fuel cell system platform for these demanding applications."

A Different Approach to Air-Cooled Fuel Cells

The C2 Series is built around three principal design elements:

Air-cooled operation

Dedicated fans move ambient air through the stack's cooling channels, removing the need for a separate liquid-cooling circuit and its associated pumps, coolant, plumbing and controls.

Closed-cathode architecture

Unlike conventional open-cathode air-cooled stacks, C2 separates the cooling airflow from the cathode reactant-air supply. Oxygen is channelled through the stack independently, allowing its flow, pressure and filtration to be managed separately and shielded from external air pollutants, increasing both the performance and durability of the overall system.

Dead-end anode operation

The dead-end anode architecture supports efficient hydrogen utilisation while eliminating the need for a continuously operating hydrogen-recirculation circuit, further reducing balance-of-plant weight and complexity.

Together with Siltrax's proprietary silicon bipolar plates, these elements enable a compact fuel cell platform designed to balance performance, power density and durability without the complexity of a conventional liquid-cooled system.

The C2 Series supports power outputs from 2 kW to 6 kW, with a 3 kW reference architecture providing a defined starting point for customer evaluation and application integration. In addition, the C2 Series module can be operated in parallel, meeting power needs up to 24 kW.

Beyond UAV propulsion, C2 can also be used for portable and off-grid power applications where conventional liquid-cooled fuel-cell systems can introduce unnecessary weight and maintenance requirements. Its simplified thermal management architecture makes the platform particularly suited to remote power, mobile generators, autonomous systems and other weight sensitive applications.

CGTN menerbitkan artikel mengenai rencana kunjungan kenegaraan Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping ke Amerika Serikat. Artikel tersebut menyoroti posisi baru hubungan Tiongkok-AS yang ditetapkan oleh kedua kepala negara pada bulan Mei lalu, sekaligus menegaskan bahwa diplomasi tingkat kepala negara selalu menjadi "jangkar" hubungan kedua negara. Diplomasi ini memiliki peran pengarah strategis yang tak tergantikan sekaligus menjadi penopang strategis yang penting bagi peningkatan dan pengembangan hubungan bilateral.

BEIJING, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping akan melakukan kunjungan kenegaraan ke Amerika Serikat pada 23?25 September atas undangan Presiden AS Donald Trump.

Kunjungan ini akan menjadi pertemuan kedua antara kedua kepala negara dalam kurun waktu enam bulan, menyusul kunjungan kenegaraan Trump ke Tiongkok pada bulan Mei lalu.

Saat menjelaskan lebih lanjut rencana kunjungan Xi pada hari Senin, juru bicara Kementerian Luar Negeri Tiongkok Guo Jiakun mengatakan bahwa kunjungan balasan tersebut merupakan tonggak bersejarah.

Tinjauan terhadap hubungan bilateral yang secara umum tetap stabil meski mengalami pasang surut menunjukkan bahwa diplomasi tingkat kepala negara selalu menjadi "jangkar" hubungan kedua negara. Diplomasi ini memiliki peran pengarah strategis yang tak tergantikan sekaligus menjadi penopang strategis yang penting bagi perbaikan dan pengembangan hubungan bilateral.

Posisi yang baru

Selama bertahun-tahun, Xi dan Trump terus menjalin komunikasi melalui pertemuan langsung, percakapan telepon, dan berbagai bentuk komunikasi lainnya. Hubungan bilateral terus berkembang mengikuti jalur yang telah ditetapkan oleh kedua pemimpin.

Dalam pertemuan pada Mei lalu, kedua presiden menyepakati visi baru untuk membangun hubungan Tiongkok-AS yang konstruktif dengan stabilitas strategis selama tiga tahun ke depan dan seterusnya. Xi mendefinisikan sifat "stabilitas strategis yang konstruktif" sebagai stabilitas positif yang bertumpu pada kerja sama, stabilitas yang sehat dengan persaingan yang moderat, stabilitas yang terjaga dengan perbedaan yang dapat dikelola, serta stabilitas berkelanjutan yang menjanjikan perdamaian.

Ini lebih dari sekadar istilah baru. Di tengah meningkatnya ketidakpastian global dan pesatnya perubahan yang belum pernah terjadi dalam satu abad, kesepakatan tersebut membawa pesan penting: Tiongkok dan AS harus mengutamakan dialog daripada konfrontasi, kerja sama daripada konflik, serta stabilitas daripada gejolak.

Wang Honggang, direktur Institut Studi Amerika di Institut Hubungan Internasional Kontemporer Tiongkok, mengatakan kepada CGTN bahwa posisi baru hubungan kedua negara tersebut sudah "tepat". Menurutnya, "stabilitas strategis yang konstruktif" merupakan arah jangka panjang bagi pengembangan hubungan Tiongkok-AS.

Saat menjelaskan lebih lanjut posisi baru hubungan tersebut, Zhang Tengjun, peneliti madya di Institut Studi Amerika, Akademi Ilmu Sosial Tiongkok, mengatakan bahwa hal tersebut mencerminkan penyesuaian baru dalam pola hubungan Tiongkok-AS. Menurutnya, istilah "konstruktif" mencerminkan pendekatan yang berorientasi pada tindakan. Persaingan tidak selalu berarti ada pihak yang menang dan kalah, dan kerja sama pragmatis perlu diutamakan untuk mengatasi berbagai perbedaan.

Menindaklanjuti kesepakatan yang dicapai oleh kedua kepala negara tersebut, tim ekonomi dan perdagangan Tiongkok dan AS telah mengadakan sejumlah putaran konsultasi. Konsultasi tersebut bertujuan untuk terus membangun kesepahaman, mengelola perbedaan, dan memperkuat kerja sama guna mendorong perkembangan hubungan ekonomi dan perdagangan Tiongkok-AS yang stabil, sehat, dan berkelanjutan.

Zhang mengatakan kepada CGTN bahwa diplomasi tingkat kepala negara memiliki peran pengarah strategis yang tak tergantikan bagi hubungan bilateral.

Hubungan Tiongkok-AS yang stabil bermanfaat bagi dunia

Rencana Lima Tahun ke-15 Tiongkok dimulai tahun ini, dan negara tersebut terus memajukan modernisasi Tiongkok secara menyeluruh melalui pembangunan berkualitas tinggi. Sementara itu, tahun 2026 juga menandai peringatan 250 tahun kemerdekaan AS.

"Keberhasilan satu negara membawa peluang bagi negara lainnya, dan hubungan bilateral yang stabil membawa manfaat bagi dunia," tegas Xi.

Meskipun terdapat perbedaan, kerja sama ekonomi dan perdagangan tetap menjadi faktor penyeimbang sekaligus penopang stabilitas hubungan Tiongkok-AS. Menurut survei Dewan Bisnis AS-Tiongkok terhadap 175 perusahaan AS pada 2026, sebanyak 95 persen perusahaan AS yang beroperasi di Tiongkok menilai pasar Tiongkok "cukup penting hingga sangat penting" agar tetap mampu bersaing di tingkat global.

Presiden Dewan Bisnis AS-Tiongkok Sean Stein mengatakan bahwa semakin banyak perusahaan AS yang ingin bermitra dengan perusahaan Tiongkok untuk belajar dari keunggulan mereka dan memanfaatkan kemajuan di Tiongkok agar tetap mampu bersaing di tingkat global. "Tiongkok merupakan bagian penting dalam upaya mereka untuk tetap mampu bersaing di tingkat global," kata Stein kepada CGTN.

Selain di bidang bisnis, sejak tahun 2026, lembaga penegak hukum kedua negara telah menjalin kerja sama konkret dalam berbagai bidang, termasuk pemberantasan narkotika, penanggulangan penipuan melalui telekomunikasi dan internet, serta pemulangan buronan. Kerja sama tersebut menunjukkan hasil yang nyata. Semakin banyak anak muda Amerika yang berkunjung ke Tiongkok untuk mengenal negara tersebut melalui berbagai kegiatan budaya, sekaligus menjadi jembatan untuk melanjutkan persahabatan antara kedua bangsa.

Tahun ini, kedua negara masing-masing akan menjadi tuan rumah pertemuan internasional besar yakni Pertemuan Pemimpin Ekonomi APEC di Shenzhen dan KTT G20 di Miami. Kedua pertemuan tersebut akan menempatkan Tiongkok dan AS sebagai pusat perhatian dalam agenda internasional.

Seperti disampaikan oleh pemimpin Tiongkok dalam berbagai kesempatan, Tiongkok dan AS, sebagai dua negara besar, dapat memikul tanggung jawab dan bekerja sama untuk mencapai lebih banyak hal besar dan nyata demi kepentingan kedua negara serta seluruh dunia.

Combined offering pairs the Mavenir AI Integrated Platform with Neysa's AI cloud to give operators, enterprises, and neocloud providers a sovereign, production-ready path to build, deploy, and monetize AI

RICHARDSON, Texas and MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the cloud-native network software provider building the future of telecom, today announced a strategic partnership with Neysa, an AI Cloud provider.

The partnership integrates Mavenir's AI orchestration, agent, and token-metering capabilities with Neysa's AI-native GPU infrastructure, deployment environment, and customer-ready AI cloud platform.

Together, the companies deliver a stack designed to let enterprises deploy a sovereign AI platform that runs on infrastructure they control. Model orchestration, agent workflows, security, and usage tracking layer directly on top of GPU capacity managed through Neysa's AI-native cloud. This lets IT and platform team launch AI initiatives without assembling the stack piece by piece.

For neocloud providers, the partnership turns raw GPU capacity into ready-to-sell, governed AI services without requiring them to build the underlying platform. Neysa provides the AI cloud stack, GPU capacity, and deployment environment. The Mavenir AI Integrated Platform adds the orchestration, policy control, and token-level metering to package that capacity into billable, enterprise-ready AI offerings. The platform is designed to be telco-grade and can be deployed on-premises or across hybrid environments.

For mobile network operators, the partnership extends Mavenir's AI Integrated Platform, announced earlier this year, which gives operators a path to turn their network into an AI service by hosting models, running agents, and monetizing token consumption on their own infrastructure. Neysa's cloud now gives operators an additional, GPU-backed way to run that same platform, alongside deploying it on infrastructure they already own.

"Enterprises and neocloud providers are both trying to solve the same problem from opposite ends: how to turn GPU investment into sovereign, monetizable AI services. Pairing the Mavenir AI Integrated Platform with Neysa's AI cloud closes that gap. Enterprises get a platform they can trust and control, and neocloud providers get a way to sell AI as a service, not just infrastructure," said Bejoy Pankajakshan, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer, Mavenir.

"Mavenir, a network software provider serving operators in more than 120 countries selected Neysa to help develop and run its AI portfolio. That choice reflects a wider shift in what enterprises expect from AI infrastructure. Together, the Mavenir AI Integrated Platform and Neysa's AI cloud give enterprises a governed, metered way to run AI on infrastructure they control, with cost visibility built in," said Xavier Kurian, Chief Revenue Officer, Neysa.

Mavenir's AI Integrated Platform provides orchestration, agent workflows, security and policy control, and token-level metering and billing capabilities.

Neysa's AI cloud combines AI-native infrastructure, GPU capacity, deployment environments, and a customer-ready delivery model. It enables operators, enterprises, and neocloud providers to stand up AI infrastructure without having to build and manage a dedicated platform engineering team.

Mavenir intends to develop, test, and scale its AI products on Neysa's sovereign, GPU-backed infrastructure, the same environment available to operators and enterprises through this partnership. These products include AI Service Assurance for automated network operations, AI Security Agents for fraud and threat detection, and AI Voice Services such as real-time translation and SMB virtual agents. This enables Mavenir to accelerate the go-to-market for these products while preserving data sovereignty.

Mavenir also uses the Neysa cloud for its own AI transformation, applying the same orchestration and GPU infrastructure to internal initiatives such as AI-assisted software development and intelligent model selection. It runs the stack on itself first, then extends it to its operator, enterprise, and neocloud customers.

Rising frontier model costs are a shared challenge for every enterprise deploying AI at scale. The AI Integrated Platform's token optimizer and model routing tools are designed to address this by directing each request to the model Mavenir's routing logic identifies as the most cost-effective option capable of handling it. In Mavenir's own deployments, this has reduced frontier model spend without changing how applications are built.

"We're not just telling operators to adopt AI, but we're also building our own AI products on this same stack, from service assurance to security agents to voice AI. And because we run our own frontier model costs through the same token optimizer and model routing tools, we can pass those savings on to every customer running on Neysa," said Bejoy Pankajakshan, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer, Mavenir.
