TECNO AI vision propels emerging markets into the new age of AI with better localization for greater productivity and creativity, and more practical value.

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovative technology brand TECNO today announced TECNO AI vision at IFA Berlin 2024. Unlike others, TECNO AI unveils a series of AI functions that will enhance productivity, provide more practical value, and offer easier creative fun. These practical features will soon be rolled out on TECNO’s outstanding smart device ecosystem to empower users’ daily lives. The new TECNO AI vision will witness TECNO leveraging the power and potential of AI to drive even greater creativity, convenience, and productivity among its global consumers, promoting the early adoption of AI in emerging markets and enabling consumers there to enjoy the benefits of AI from its earliest stage.

“TECNO has always been committed to revolutionizing the digital experience in emerging global markets,” said Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO. “As the era of AI takes shape, the development of new digital technology continues at pace, while the digital divide becomes more and more obvious. TECNO hopes to bring the most advanced AI technology and innovation to emerging markets, so that every consumer around the world can equally and fairly enjoy the productivity, convenience and creativity that AI can bring.”

By strengthening its commitment to bringing users the best experiences, TECNO’s AI vision is further clarified with a focus on delivering “Practical AI” with ultimate localization. TECNO believes that the most important quality of AI technology is that its integration into daily life can truly help consumers, improving living quality and efficiency. To ensure this is achieved for users around the world, TECNO AI vision is adapted to local consumers’ needs, meeting their demands where they live, with localization as a key part of TECNO’s AI strategy. TECNO AI vision integrates the most advanced AI features on the market, such as AI writing, translation, search, drawing, and more. Going forward, TECNO will invest further in its differential AI strategy – firstly with a focus on AI language localization, including minority language translation and semantic recognition development; the second focus will be the integration of AI and local apps, which can turn smart devices into customized personal assistants, helping users to call a taxi, navigate, order takeout, and more, all in a flowing and functional way.

TECNO has already made significant breakthroughs in the AI field in 2024, with the launch of new AI-enhanced devices and AIOS technologies at MWC Barcelona 2024 in February. At IFA Berlin 2024, from elevating social interaction to enhancing business performance and assisting in daily life, several impressive functions further stand out in the unveiling of TECNO AI vision. These functions include the Gemini-integrated Ella AI Assistant and imaginative AI Artboard, which promise to level up the smart lives of global consumers in a more productive and creative way.

Enjoy Elevated Productivity Every Day with Ease

At the heart of TECNO AI vision is the freshly upgraded Ella AI Assistant – a user’s new best friend when it comes to streamlining life’s daily tasks, improving efficiency at work, and saving time for what really matters. TECNO AI Assistant is now connected to Gemini, revolutionizing how it interacts with users and bringing it to life in an exciting new way.

TECNO AI Assistant’s Smart Q&A conversational functionality means it is now able to engage in streams of conversation with users, instead of providing a single response per interaction. Want to dress for the weather? Ask the AI Assistant for a weather update! Need help with scheduling? Ask the AI Assistant to plan your day! Don’t know what to cook? Ask the AI Assistant for some recipe inspiration! From simple tasks to complex problems, TECNO AI Assistant is now even better prepared to assist users around the clock.  

TECNO AI vision is also on hand to help users break down communication barriers with Real-Time Translation. Whether learning a new language of dealing with clients abroad, this useful tool immediately translates speech into text during phone calls or in face-to-face situations, empowering users to engage in more fluent global conversations.

TECNO’s AI Writing functions are a productivity game-changer for professionals and students alike, saving energy and effort for more important tasks. When faced with a long and time-consuming text on a website or document, users can turn to TECNO AI Assistant to quickly generate a more manageable summary of the content. When it comes to writing and editing, it is capable of generating new texts from scratch, proofreading texts, and rewriting texts in friendly, professional or concise styles.

Finally, to bring more creativity to everyday, TECNO AI Search lets users learn about the world with the swipe of a finger on the screen. Whether it’s generating a tiramisu recipe from an image of an unknown cake, to buying an eye-catching fashion accessory spotted on socials, all users need to do is circle something on their screen to pull up smart information. 

Give Creativity a Boost with Artistic and Imaginative AI

TECNO AI is also packed full of exciting functions that will give users a creative boost.

AI Artboard turns every user into an artist. With the power of AI, users can generate a universe of masterpieces across a spectrum of styles based on just a few words of text. From dogs captaining spaceships to more realistic headshots for social media profile pictures, users can let their imaginations run wild.

With AI Image Editing, users will always have the perfect shot. AI Erase comes to the rescue of stunning shots that are ruined by passersby or stray objects. Instead of discarding them, users can now erase the parts of the shot they don’t want to see with total ease. To elevate shots even more, AI Portrait Beautification lets users define their own look, while AI Cutout lets users select and extract parts of a picture to share in chat or create new images. Besides images, users can explore the world of video with AI Video Production. From writing a script to generating a video and to adding subtitles in post, TECNO AI vision empowers the entire movie making process.

TECNO AI Integration in TECNO Devices

TECNO firmly believes that for interaction between AI and global users to be meaningful, it must ultimately be actualized by the implementation of the technologies on devices. By doing so, as is the goal of the TECNO AI strategy, users in emerging markets will feel the stark benefit of future technologies in their everyday lives. TECNO is seamlessly incorporating its AI technologies into its whole product ecosystems, including but not limited to its laptops, earphones, AR gaming set and other wearable devices, to significantly enrich the smart device experience for global consumers.

Published

By

IIFL Capital’s Late-Stage Private Equity Fund targets a final close in excess of ₹1,000 crore within nine months from First CloseTwo transactions have already been committed with a pipeline of seven to eight deals under evaluation

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IIFL Capital Asset Management Limited, the Asset Management arm of IIFL Capital, today announced that the IIFL Late-Stage Private Equity Fund, the maiden fund of its private equity platform, achieved its first close on 15 September 2026 with aggregate capital commitments of ~ ₹500 crore. The Fund invests in scaled-up, profitable Indian enterprises that are preparing to list on the public markets in the near term.

The Fund is targeting a total corpus of ₹1,000 crore, with a greenshoe option of additional ₹1,000 crore. It will remain open for subscription after the first close and aims to reach its final close within the next nine months. A larger corpus allows the Fund to back high-quality companies operating on a scale, in line with its late-stage, pre-IPO strategy.

The Fund is also evaluating a robust pipeline of opportunities, ranging from term sheet negotiations to transactions under diligence. The pipeline is diversified across integrated security-as-a-service, railway and wind energy components, specialty chemicals, defence equipment, IT-enabled services, pre-engineered buildings and consumer technology.

The Fund follows a clear mandate focused on scaled businesses nearing a public listing. The fund looks at sectors that envisage growth rate of 15%-18% per annum. The investee company should be amongst the top three-five players in its category, should have an EBITDA of at least ₹75-100 crore at investment with the intention to pursue IPO within three years. The average deal size is expected to be ₹50-100 crore per transaction.

Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Deepak Mittal, Chief Investment Officer and Head – Private Equity, IIFL Capital Asset Management Limited, said: “The first close marks the point at which this Fund moves from being a proposition to being a portfolio. We are grateful to our investors for their confidence in a volatile global environment. With two high-quality transactions already committed and a live pipeline of seven to eight opportunities, we believe IIFL’s capabilities give us a distinct advantage in backing scaled enterprises on their journey to the public markets.”

The first close comes in the backdrop of India’s primary market revival. After a subdued April-June quarter, July and August 2026 together saw 35 mainboard IPOs, and foreign portfolio investors returned as net buyers, including through IPOs. Real GDP grew 7.8% in Q1 FY27, with gross fixed capital formation up 11.9%, supporting the sectors the Fund is targeting.

Snapmaker Introduces New Filament Bundle, Expanding Its Full Spectrum Printing Ecosystem

Published

on

By

The Snapmaker PLA Full Spectrum Filament Bundle (White Edition) combines pure-white capability, more saturated cyan, magenta, and yellow filaments, and finely tuned light-transmission properties for vibrant, natural-looking color mixes. It expands Snapmaker’s integrated ecosystem of dedicated materials, Snapmaker Orca software, and U1 hardware.

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Snapmaker has introduced the Snapmaker PLA Full Spectrum Filament Bundle (White Edition), expanding the creative possibilities of layered color mixing on Snapmaker U1. The four-spool set combines semi-translucent cyan, magenta, yellow, and white PLA filaments to produce a broader palette, from vivid color mixes and soft pastels to directly printed pure-white details.

“Together with the reformulated color filaments, the addition of white opens up a broader range of visual styles.” — Blayne Sapelli, Creative Marketing Manager at Snapmaker.

Four Filaments, Beyond Four Colors

Full Spectrum color mixing creates additional perceived colors by alternating thin layers of semi-translucent filaments along the Z-axis. As light interacts with these layers, their colors blend visually, allowing a single print to go beyond the four loaded filament colors.

Snapmaker Orca, Snapmaker’s official slicing software, supports this layered color mixing workflow. Together with U1’s multi-toolhead architecture, it provides a practical foundation for exploring more colors with a small set of materials.

Radu “Ratdoux,” creator of Full Spectrum and now part of the Snapmaker team, said: “Full Spectrum changes the way we think about color in consumer FDM printing. Instead of adding more and more individual filament colors, we can use a small set of calibrated materials together with software and multi-toolhead hardware to generate a much broader spectrum. Our goal is to make that process simple enough that users can focus on what they want to create rather than how to engineer the color.”

Filaments Engineered for Brighter Color

White filament brings two distinct benefits: it enables pure-white areas that layered color mixing alone cannot produce, and it brightens mixed colors while reducing saturation for lighter, softer tones. Reformulated cyan, magenta, and yellow filaments offer stronger saturation, helping deliver more vibrant mixes.

The filaments’ color and Transmission Distance properties are tuned to promote natural blending and help reduce visible horizontal stripes. On Snapmaker U1, RFID recognition automatically loads preset filament information, simplifying setup.

These properties give creators more flexibility to combine vivid accents, gentle shades, and white details in character models, collectibles, home décor, and sculptural artwork. The four-spool approach also reduces the need to store separate filament colors for occasional use.

“Adding white is a meaningful step for creators who want lighter palettes and pure-white details within the same four-spool setup,” said Blayne Sapelli, Creative Marketing Manager at Snapmaker, “Together with the reformulated color filaments, it opens up a different range of visual styles. It also reflects how we are building our ecosystem: developing dedicated materials around real creative needs and connecting them with the tools people use to print.”

An Integrated Ecosystem for Color Creation

The Snapmaker PLA Full Spectrum Filament Bundle (White Edition) joins the Snapmaker PLA Full Spectrum Filament Bundle (Gray Edition) and the SnapSpeed PLA CMYK Lithophane Filament Bundle, expanding Snapmaker’s official lineup to three purpose-designed bundles.

The two PLA Full Spectrum bundles are designed for three-dimensional color mixing. The new bundle enables brighter mixes, softer pastels, and pure-white details, while the Gray Edition offers darker, more muted tones. The CMYK Lithophane bundle is optimized for flat, layered-color printing, including colorful backlit lithophanes made from photographs and illustrations.

Built around U1 and Snapmaker Orca, the lineup connects specialized materials with hardware and software support.

Pricing and Product Information

The bundle is priced at US$89 and contains four 1 kg spools, totaling 4 kg. For product details and regional purchasing information, visit the official product page.

Snapmaker makes products that empower everyone to change the world — literally. From 3-in-1 desktop fabrication machines to the Snapmaker U1 multicolor, multimaterial, toolchanger 3D printer, to the software that powers it all, Snapmaker is building an ecosystem that democratizes creation.
