We will continue to expand our customer base for those engines MRO services according to our growth strategy”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding the impact of: the Company’s share in results of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternative to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor it is meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA below.

The roster brings together figures who have shaped the trajectory of autonomous driving, personal computing, and professional sports: Sebastian Thrun, Steve Wozniak, and Dwyane Wade will all attend.
The breadth of expertise on the guest list reflects the reach of DREAME NEXT itself.

The event is organized around five themed segments: Drive Next, Living Next, Connect Next, Self Next, and Humanity Next.
Over the course of the four-day launch event, DREAME NEXT will bring together leading voices from across technology, academia, investment, and innovation to explore the next stage of industry transformation. Discussions will center on how AI-driven applications are reshaping products from the ground up, whether the age of AI requires products to be fundamentally reimagined, how intelligent technologies will redefine the foundations of manufacturing productivity, and what the next decade of human technological evolution may look like.
Featured speakers include AI pioneer Sebastian Thrun (Google X, Udacity), tech futurist Robert Scoble (Microsoft), Meta design leader Julie Zhuo, AI strategist William Fong (Microsoft), and business veteran James W.

WisPaper Enables Parallel Scientific Exploration, Moving Research Beyond Sequential Workflows

April 25, 2026By
SINGAPORE, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WisPaper, an AI-powered academic research agent, today introduced a new approach to scientific workflows that supports concurrent research execution. The development addresses a longstanding constraint in research—the reliance on sequential, step-by-step processes—by enabling multiple lines of inquiry to progress in parallel, allowing researchers to expand both the speed and scope of exploration.
Breaking the Limits of Sequential Research
Traditional research follows a linear structure, where literature review, hypothesis formation, experimentation, and validation are carried out sequentially. This model limits researchers to advancing a single direction, as each stage requires manual effort.
WisPaper shifts this structure by reducing dependencies between stages. Tasks that once required sequencing can now proceed more independently, allowing different research threads to move forward without waiting for earlier steps.
Enabling Concurrent Exploration
With this approach, WisPaper supports a more parallel mode of research. Researchers can initiate multiple hypotheses or problem statements simultaneously, while the system advances processes such as literature analysis, experimental setup, and result generation across these directions.
This enables a higher density of exploration within the same time frame. Instead of focusing on a single hypothesis over an extended period, researchers can evaluate multiple possibilities, compare outcomes, and adjust direction more efficiently.
Redefining the Researcher’s Role
As execution becomes less constrained by manual coordination, the role of the researcher shifts toward higher-level decision-making. Researchers can focus on defining questions, setting priorities, and interpreting results across multiple ongoing investigations.
This model mirrors how larger research teams operate, where parallel efforts are coordinated toward shared objectives. By enabling similar capabilities at the individual level, WisPaper expands how research can be structured and managed.
Implications for Knowledge Production
Parallel exploration introduces a different rhythm to scientific work. By allowing more research paths to be tested within a given period, it may influence how quickly new findings emerge, particularly in areas where validation is time-intensive.
As research workflows continue to evolve, approaches that balance depth with broader exploration may play an increasing role in shaping how knowledge is produced.
About WisPaper
WisPaper is an AI-powered academic research agent designed as a full-chain research accelerator. It supports literature retrieval, analysis, experiment design, execution, and paper writing within a unified workflow, helping researchers manage complex scientific tasks more efficiently across disciplines.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai”) (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026) today announced its new generation autonomous driving domain controller, a high-performance compute system designed for both Pony.ai’s L4 autonomous driving platform and a broader set of customer applications across autonomous mobility. Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, the new controller is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform and powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor with NVIDIA NVLink, supporting Pony.ai’s next phase of commercialization in robotaxis and its growing domain controller business.
The new system is designed to deliver significant gains in AI computing performance, energy efficiency and support for the latest AI models, while meeting core L4 requirements such as multi-sensor fusion, full-scenario perception and high-complexity scenario understanding. It is also engineered to further enhance safety redundancy, system robustness and deployment flexibility.
Pony.ai expects the new platform to support a portfolio spanning multiple compute tiers and cooling solutions, enabling deployment across a wide range of autonomous applications. With flexible single-chip and multi-chip configurations, the platform is expected to incorporate NVIDIA NVLink to enable high-speed, low-latency communication between the two DRIVE Thor system-on-a-chips (SoCs), achieving a combined maximum computing performance of 4000 FP4 TFLOPS.
“Our collaboration with NVIDIA has supported several critical milestones in Pony.ai’s autonomous driving journey,” said Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai. “The next-generation domain controller built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion will be a key enabler for the continued evolution of our L4 autonomous driving products and help accelerate large-scale commercialization.”
“Autonomous driving systems are rapidly increasing in complexity, driving the need for scalable, high-performance compute platforms,” said Rishi Dhall, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA. “Pony.ai has been a long-standing NVIDIA DRIVE customer and ecosystem partner, and we’re pleased to see them build their next-generation domain controller on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion with DRIVE Thor accelerated compute to support advanced L4 autonomous driving applications.”
The new platform builds on a long-standing collaboration between Pony.ai and NVIDIA that began in 2017. In 2022, Pony.ai launched its in-house developed automotive-grade computing unit powered by single or multiple NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin SoC, which was deployed in its sixth-generation Robotaxis. In 2025, the company began mass production of the world’s first L4 Robotaxi domain controller equipped with four NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin SoCs. That controller now powers Pony.ai’s seventh-generation (Gen-7) Robotaxis and provides a strong foundation for scalable, fully driverless operations.
As one of the few L4 autonomous driving companies globally with full-stack, in-house capabilities across both software and hardware, Pony.ai brings deep expertise in domain controller design. Its software-hardware co-design approach enables system-level optimization across performance, safety and cost.
Over the past year, Pony.ai has seen growing demand for its automotive-grade domain controllers across low-speed delivery, robosweeping, logistics, mining, autonomous shuttles and other robotics and intelligent mobility applications. Shipments of its “Fangzai” domain controller in 2025 surged by more than 500% year over year. Customers are spread across dozens of countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and Switzerland.
Building on Gen-7’s gains in cost efficiency, safety and reliability, Pony.ai has also achieved significant milestones in robotaxi commercialization, including unit-economics breakeven in two of China’s major metropolitan markets. The company aims to expand its robotaxi fleet to more than 3,000 vehicles and its geographic footprint to more than 20 cities globally by the end of 2026.
