NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During a moment when AI is rapidly moving from dashboards into decision-making systems, a new partnership between Allora Network and Pairpoint by Vodafone is offering a glimpse into what the next phase of enterprise infrastructure looks like: systems that anticipate.

Pairpoint, the Economy of Things venture backed by Vodafone and Sumitomo Corporation, is building a global platform where machines, vehicles, and devices can identify themselves, transact autonomously, and coordinate without human intervention.

Allora, an AI network, is supplying the missing layer those systems need to operate at scale: continuously evaluated, forecast-driven intelligence.

Together, the companies are integrating Allora as the intelligence layer powering a breadth of Pairpoint & Vodafone IoT use cases – the first of which is an EV Recharging Optimization Proof of Concept that embeds predictive intelligence directly inside routing and charging systems, moving beyond static data and toward decisions made with foresight.

From Connected Devices to Thinking Systems

“For years, IoT has been very good at telling us what is happening,” said David Palmer, Chief Product Officer at Pairpoint. “But as systems become autonomous, that’s no longer enough. Machines need to reason about what will happen when they arrive, transact, or commit resources.”

In the EV charging context, that distinction matters. A charger that appears available now may be occupied when a driver arrives. Prices can spike. Energy consumption varies with route, weather, and traffic. Static systems struggle because the world doesn’t stand still.

That’s where Allora enters.

“Allora isn’t a single model making guesses,” explained Nick Emmons, CEO of Allora Labs. “It’s a network where many machine learning models compete and collaborate on the same prediction targets, and their outputs are continuously evaluated and synthesized. The system learns which models perform best under which conditions.”

The result is intelligence that’s measured, context-aware, and adaptive. Crucial for enterprises in the fast changing dynamic world.

Why EV Charging as a First Proof Point

EV recharging sits at the intersection of infrastructure, economics, and uncertainty. Decisions affect time, cost, reliability, and user trust. That makes it an ideal environment to test whether decentralized AI can outperform traditional approaches.

In this integration, Pairpoint’s routing system queries Allora Topics at decision time to forecast:

Energy consumption and arrival state-of-chargeCharger availability probabilities at ETAExpected charging prices within arrival windows

Those forecasts are then used by the planner to recommend routes and charging stops optimized for time or cost, while accounting for uncertainty.

“This is about turning existing infrastructure into smoother, more intelligent user friendly systems.” Palmer said.

A New Opportunity for ML Builders

Beyond the EV use case, the addition of Allora to Pairpoint’s AI stack provides a new deployment surface for machine learning models.

The Allora Network opens these enterprise prediction problems to a global community of ML engineers. Model builders can contribute directly to Topics powering real infrastructure, competing on live data with clear success metrics, and seeing their models influence real-world decisions.

“For most ML researchers, their work ends at a benchmark,” Emmons said. “Here, the benchmark is reality. Models are evaluated continuously, under changing conditions, and the best ones earn their place in production.”

This creates a new incentive structure:

Real enterprise data, not synthetic tasksTransparent performance metricsDeployment into live systemsEconomic rewards tied to actual usefulness

“It’s infrastructure.” Emmons added.

Intelligence as Infrastructure

For Pairpoint, the implications extend far beyond EV charging. The same predictive intelligence layer can be applied to fleets, logistics, supply chains, and smart cities, anywhere machines need to coordinate under uncertainty.

“What excites us is convergence,” Palmer said. “IoT connects the physical world. Blockchain gives us trust and settlement. Decentralized AI gives systems adaptability. Together, you get autonomous infrastructure that can actually scale.”

As enterprises increasingly rely on systems that act on their own, partnerships like Allora × Pairpoint suggest a shift in how AI is built and deployed, not as a black box owned by a single vendor, but as a competitive, continuously improving layer shared across the ecosystem.

For ML builders, it’s an invitation to move from experiments to impact.

Stylish Linux-powered wearable in glasses form is controlled by eyes and voice; combines premium everyday prescription eyewear, local AI capabilities, hot-swappable Raven Wing batteries and hardware-enforced privacy protections showcased publicly at AWE for the first time ahead of launch later this year 

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Raven Resonance today announced it will publicly preview Raven Prism™, the world’s first Ambient Computer, at Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2026, taking place June 16–18 in Long Beach, California. The demonstration at Booth 1028 marks the first public showing of Raven Prism ahead of its planned commercial launch later this year.

Powered by RavenOS™, the company’s Linux-based operating system, Raven Prism combines the appearance of beautiful premium prescription eyewear with a standalone computing platform designed for continuous, hands-free use. Designed for creative professionals, makers, developers and enterprise users, Raven Prism brings real-time information into view through a full-color LCoS waveguide display that provides a virtual viewing experience comparable to a 16-inch display at arm’s length while allowing users to remain engaged with their surroundings.

Ambient computing refers to computing that is present when needed and unobtrusive when it is not. Raven Prism places a standalone 64-bit computer within a user’s field of view, controlled by eye gaze and voice and designed to deliver contextual information and powerful tools without pulling attention away from the physical world. Raven Prism is designed to live with you — always there, aware of the context around you, and able to assist on the go without getting in the way.

Unlike conventional smart glasses that primarily function as connected smartphone accessories, Raven Prism is a standalone Linux computer in the form factor of premium everyday prescription eyewear: it operates as a standalone computer and does not require a smartphone for operation. Powered by a quad-core 64-bit ARM processor and available in multiple RAM configurations, the device supports native Linux ARM64 applications, SSH access, and developer customization. Raven Prism ships with more than 25 applications and provides low-level access to the operating system, creating a flexible platform for developers, creators and enterprises alike.

Raven Prism features privacy-preserving eye control implemented in hardware, enabling users to navigate applications and information using natural gaze-based interaction. Voice interaction, wireless peripherals (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) as well as contextual, ambient applications complement the gaze-first interface.

A key innovation is Raven Wings™, Raven’s modular hot-swappable battery architecture designed for continuous ambient computing. Unlike conventional mobile devices that require shutdowns, reboots or interruptions when power is depleted, Raven Prism preserves system state during battery exchanges, allowing users to swap batteries and continue working without restarting the device, relaunching applications or losing their place. In other words, users can remove a depleted Raven Wing, attach a fresh one and continue working exactly where they left off. The architecture is designed to support uninterrupted all-day operation while creating a modular hardware platform for future expansion.

Beyond power delivery, Raven Wings are designed as expansion modules capable of introducing additional hardware functionality over time.

“For decades, the personal computer has been confined to a desk, a pocket or a bag,” said Thomas Suarez, co-founder and CEO of Raven Resonance. “We believe the next era is ambient computing — technology that remains available when you need it, while staying out of the way when you don’t. Raven Prism gives users a powerful, open computing platform they can access hands-free throughout the day — from Claude Code to creative applications and more. Put simply, Raven Prism is not a pair of smart glasses: it is a powerful, privacy-first eye-controlled Linux computer that happens to take the form of eyewear.”

Privacy is a foundational design principle of Raven Prism. Eye control data is processed locally on the device, no user data is transmitted off-device without explicit user consent and core AI capabilities are designed to run locally whenever possible. Unlike many connected wearables that rely heavily on cloud infrastructure, Raven Prism was designed to perform as much computation as possible locally, keeping user data under the user’s control and reducing dependence on remote infrastructure. Raven Resonance believes privacy should be enforced through hardware and software architecture rather than policies.

To support that philosophy, Raven Prism incorporates multiple hardware-level privacy protections. The device includes a physical camera cover that blocks image capture unless intentionally removed by the wearer, providing a visible and verifiable indication when the camera is capable of operation. Raven’s proprietary Beakon™ visibility system further enhances transparency through illuminated indicators integrated into the frame that make camera activity readily apparent to both the wearer and those nearby. And custom circuit logic ensures that data is protected across components in the hardware.

Raven Prism is designed and engineered by Raven Resonance in California and assembled in the United States. The company plans to officially launch Raven Prism later in 2026, with additional details regarding availability, pricing and developer programs to be announced closer to launch. Pricing will be announced officially at device launch later this year.

Raven Resonance (San Francisco) was founded by wearable computing pioneers and has created a new category of personal computing: the world’s first wearable Ambient Computer. Its first product, Raven Prism, has the form factor of a stylish pair of glasses but is powered by an open Linux-based OS. Raven Prism sports 64-bit quad-core ARM compute, privacy-preserving eye control implemented in hardware and a full-color LCoS waveguide display.

Raven Prism enables people to see ambient, contextual information and control applications hands-free. Hot-swappable batteries provide all-day power through modular Raven Wings, which also act as expansion ports for future hardware functionality. The team believes strongly in privacy as a human right and built Raven Prism to protect user privacy at all levels of the software and hardware stack. Raven Prism is proudly designed and engineered by Raven Resonance in California and manufactured in the United States. Learn more at https://raven.computer.
