TAIPEI, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fueled by the generative AI wave sparked by ChatGPT, APMIC—a leading provider of enterprise-grade AI solutions and the only Taiwanese independent software vendor (ISV) recognized by NVIDIA—today announced its official entry into the U.S. market with the launch of its acclaimed large language model, “CaiGunn” in North America. APMIC is committed to driving global AI transformation, empowering companies to develop their own AI capabilities, and enabling everyone to seamlessly join the AI revolution.

APMIC, the Only Taiwanese Company Recognized by Tech Giants NVIDIA and Google, Brings Its MIT AI Expertise to the U.S. Market

Founded in 2017 by Jerry Wu, a Google Developer Expert in machine learning, and a team of AI enthusiasts, APMIC specializes in natural language understanding (NLU). Its enterprise-grade AI solutions are designed to create customized AI digital brains for businesses. With these solutions, employees can interact with AI naturally and conversationally, empowering them to leverage AI for tasks such as customer service, text analysis, and document review. APMIC’s solutions have earned accolades from global tech giants.

With seven years of innovation, APMIC has been recognized by NVIDIA as an exclusive generative AI independent software vendor (ISV) strategic partner and has been the only Taiwanese team featured by Google in its machine learning case studies. Jerry Wu, Founder and CEO of APMIC, stated, “Our large language model processes millions of AI interactions each month, providing us with deep insights into the challenges businesses face during AI transformation. We believe that broad internal adoption of AI—without requiring programming or data processing skills—is essential for businesses to thrive in the AI revolution. APMIC is excited to announce our expansion into the U.S. market. Our goal is to showcase Taiwan’s AI capabilities on the global stage and empower employees worldwide to harness the power of AI, driving the global AI transformation.”

Localized LLM “CaiGunn” Boosts Enterprise Service Efficiency by 30%; APMIC Joins Forces with Ecosystem Partners for Global Expansion

According to P&S Intelligence, the global market for natural language understanding was valued at $18.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $80.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27.2%. The North American market is expected to be a significant driver of this demand. Recognizing the growing need for AI technologies, particularly natural language understanding, APMIC foresees a trend of enterprises deploying LLMs on-premises. To meet this demand, APMIC has partnered with Dell, HPE, and NVIDIA to integrate its AI server with the “CaiGunn” model, creating a robust ecosystem for AI deployment.

As a member of NVIDIA’s Inception program, APMIC showcased “CaiGunn” at NVIDIA GTC 2024, making it one of only two Taiwanese startups selected to participate in the Startup Pitches. As a leader in natural language understanding, APMIC, backed by NVIDIA and its extensive global network, is expanding into the U.S. market to help enterprises worldwide build their own large language models.

“CaiGunn” named after the Taiwanese Hokkien word for “chat,” is a localized large language model and platform framework developed by APMIC’s team in Taiwan. It enables employees to create intelligent, contextually relevant AI solutions simply by uploading existing documents, websites, or data—without the need for programming. “CaiGunn” has been adopted by over 800 organizations across various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and retail. Notable clients include Google, Taipei City Government, and CTBC Bank, with implementations demonstrating a 30% improvement in service efficiency.

In 2023, “CaiGunn” made history as the only Taiwanese model ranked among the top 100 on Hugging Face. This year, APMIC introduced “CaiGunn-TAME”, a cutting-edge traditional Chinese LLM tailored for Taiwanese users. Powered by NVIDIA’s NIMs and enhanced by CaiGunn’s C-RAG, this model offers rapid scaling and a deeper understanding of Taiwanese language and culture.

APMIC secured $1 million in Pre-A funding in March this year and plans to launch a new fundraising round in September. These funds will be used to further expand its overseas market, strengthen the development of its LLMs, attract top talent, and scale its operations.

New Study Reveals Retail Security Measures Are Driving Customers Away

DALBAR and Competitor IQ survey of 500 North American shoppers uncovers a costly tension between loss prevention and the customer experience

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DALBAR, Inc. and its division Competitor IQ today released the 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study, a survey of 500 U.S. and Canadian consumers on how loss prevention strategies affect the retail shopping experience. The findings reveal a significant tension between security and convenience — one that is already costing retailers sales.

38%
of shoppers have abandoned a purchase due to in-store security measures

Key Findings

Security Measures Are Pushing Shoppers Out the Door
A significant share of respondents report abandoning purchases due to security-related friction. Locked merchandise cabinets and access restrictions are the leading causes — and the full study breaks down exactly which measures are driving customers away.

Locked Merchandise Is the Biggest Pain Point
Many customers say locked displays negatively impact their shopping experience. Many feel mistrusted and will leave rather than wait — and the data shows a clear link to lost revenue that retailers cannot afford to ignore.

Safety Matters, But Rarely Drives Store Choice
Most shoppers already feel a baseline level of security when they enter a store. The study reveals which measures build customer confidence — and which ones backfire by sending shoppers online instead.

Customers Want Technology, Not Barriers
A strong majority believe AI and surveillance technology can better balance loss prevention with convenience. The full study includes detailed breakdowns of customer preferences by age, income, and retail category.

“Retailers are caught in a difficult position: theft is rising, but the measures used to combat it are alienating the honest shoppers they need to retain. The path forward lies in smarter, less intrusive security — and the data shows exactly what that looks like.”
— DALBAR / Competitor IQ Research Team

When Customers See Theft Happen In-Store…
Most say they would shop there less often or stop visiting entirely.
Only a small share reports no change in behavior. The reputational cost of visible theft is significant — and quantified in the full report.

About the Study
The 2026 Retail Security and Loss Prevention Study was conducted by DALBAR, Inc. and Competitor IQ in April 2026, surveying 500 consumers across the United States and Canada. The full report includes detailed findings by demographic, retail category, and security measure type — with actionable recommendations for loss prevention teams.
