BEIJING, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced a federated learning framework based on layered and sharded blockchain technology, which can solve multiple key issues in federated learning, including information interaction, data security and privacy protection, computational efficiency, and system scalability by combining layered and sharded blockchain technologies to achieve more efficient and secure data collaboration.

In the federated learning framework based on layered and sharded blockchain technology, the IoT network is finely divided into a multi-layer structure, and each layer is subdivided into multiple shards, aiming to optimize the information interaction and processing efficiency. The strategy of multiple layers and multiple shards enables the communication between nodes to be restricted to the same shard, which significantly reduces the complexity of information interaction and greatly reduces the global communication cost. And the sharding mechanism ensures that each shard can execute local training tasks independently and in parallel, accelerating the overall learning process. At the same time, cross-shard data exchange is performed only when the model parameters are updated, which not only ensures the training efficiency, but also further strengthens the data security and privacy protection.

In response to the abnormal or malicious behavior that may occur in federated learning, WiMi has developed a highly adaptive consensus algorithm. The algorithm is able to accurately identify and reject abnormal models, effectively resist interference caused by malicious or erroneous data, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of learning results. The application of blockchain technology records the transaction details of every model update, provides an untampered audit log, enhances system transparency, and establishes a foundation of trust among participants.

With the help of encryption and distributed ledger technology, WiMi’s federated learning framework ensures the security of data during transmission and storage, effectively guarding against data leakage and tampering. Distributed ledger uses cryptographic techniques to protect the security and integrity of data, such as hash functions, public and private key encryption, and other techniques. These techniques prevent problems such as data tampering, forgery, and theft. In addition, data privacy can be further protected by restricting user access to data through smart contracts or other permission control mechanisms.

The sharding and parallel processing mechanism greatly improves computational efficiency and reduces latency, which is particularly suitable for real-time learning scenarios of large-scale IoT devices. The flexible layering and sharding design enables the system to seamlessly adapt to all kinds of network environments from small LANs to global scale. This design not only improves the scalability of the system, but also enables it to be flexibly deployed and operated in different network environments to meet diverse needs.

The federated learning framework builds an efficient, secure, and scalable IoT learning platform through layered and sharded technologies, adaptive consensus algorithms, encryption and distributed ledger technologies, and flexible computing architectures, laying a solid foundation for future large-scale machine learning applications. The federated learning framework based on layered and sharded blockchain not only overcomes the limitations of traditional federated learning, but also creates a brand-new path to safer and more efficient data collaboration, which is a profound insight and layout for future smart life. Whether it is smart home, smart city, or Industry 4.0, federated learning technology based on layered and sharded blockchain shows broad application prospects, and is expected to promote the digital transformation of all industries, and build a smarter, safer, and more efficient future society. In the era of the Internet of Everything, WiMi will also continue to explore and practice, leading the way to a new era of smarter, safer and more efficient data collaboration.

MUNICH, Germany and TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SolidRun, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance System-on-Modules (SoMs), Single Board Computers (SBCs) and industrial edge computing solutions, today at electronica 2026 announced its NXP® i.MX 95 product family, combining the i.MX 95 SoM, HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT industrial carrier, software support, a camera integration ecosystem and a demonstrated end-to-end NVIDIA Holoscan implementation.

Engineered for Industry 4.0, real-time robotics, energy storage systems (ESS) and industrial networking infrastructure, the platform delivers deterministic multi-gigabit networking, real-time safety control and scalable Physical Edge AI. By bringing the essential hardware, software and integration capabilities together under one roof, SolidRun helps OEMs simplify development, reduce engineering risk and accelerate time to market.

“Industrial OEMs and infrastructure providers are moving rapidly toward Physical AI, but they face immense friction with multi-gigabit signal routing and fragmented vendor ecosystems,” said Alexander Schwartz, Head of Product at SolidRun. “By integrating all Ethernet PHYs, including 10GbE, directly on the i.MX 95 SoM while maintaining drop-in pin compatibility with our i.MX8 lines, we eliminate hardware design friction. And because we design both our NXP and NVIDIA edge platforms in-house, our customers gain a single, fully integrated system architecture that scales from compact real-time nodes up to enterprise-grade AI clusters under one roof.”

A Complete Industrial Ecosystem, From Sensor to AI

At the center of the portfolio is SolidRun’s HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT industrial carrier, designed for demanding applications that require high-speed networking, real-time control and multi-sensor integration. Key features include:

Industrial connectivity: Dual Gigabit Ethernet, 10GbE RJ45 with optional SFP+ optical connectivity, dual CAN-FD, RS485 and RS232Real-time control and safety: Cortex-M7 (800MHz) and Cortex-M33 (333MHz) safety domain, providing a foundation for ASIL-B and SIL-2 functional safety certificationVision and expansion: Dual MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces with advanced ISP support, dual display outputs and multiple M.2 slots for AI acceleration, NVMe storage and 5G/cellular connectivity

Beyond the hardware, SolidRun supports a growing ecosystem of camera partners, software solutions, developer tools and application demonstrations, giving customers a coordinated platform from initial evaluation through deployment.

Demonstrated NVIDIA Holoscan Integration

SolidRun is the first to demonstrate a complete, self-contained i.MX 95 to NVIDIA Holoscan to GPU implementation on hardware from a single vendor. The pipeline processes camera and sensor data using the i.MX 95’s integrated ISP and 2.3 TOPS NPU, streams it over 10GbE for GPU inference on a SolidRun NVIDIA-based AI system, and returns commands to the Cortex-M7 core for real-time closed-loop control. Because the implementation is fully software-defined, it handles more complex workloads than fixed-function streaming front ends.

SolidRun brings its NXP-based embedded platforms and NVIDIA-based AI systems together in a unified, software-defined architecture, giving customers a single hardware partner from edge processing to advanced AI inference. This integrated approach simplifies development, reduces integration complexity and accelerates time to market.

Simplifying Industrial Design with Integrated Connectivity

Unlike other i.MX 95 modules that route raw SERDES or USXGMII signals to carrier connectors, SolidRun is the first to integrate all three Ethernet PHYs, including 10GbE, directly on the SoM. This eliminates the need for OEMs to design complex multi-gigabit PHY circuitry, high-speed differential pairs and magnetics, reducing PCB complexity, EMI compliance risk and development cost. All three Ethernet ports support Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) for deterministic industrial communication.

The i.MX 95 SoM also retains the 47 x 30 mm footprint and pinout compatibility of SolidRun’s previous-generation i.MX8 and i.MX8M Plus modules, providing an upgrade path without redesigning existing carrier hardware. Powered by Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores, LPDDR5 memory and the integrated eIQ® Neutron NPU, the platform increases AI processing and bandwidth while protecting customers’ existing hardware investments.

“Physical AI at the industrial edge demands compute, real-time control and safety on one chip, which is exactly what we designed the i.MX 95 to deliver, with its eIQ Neutron NPU, integrated ISP and dedicated safety domain,” said Robert Thompson, Director, Secure Connected Edge Ecosystem at NXP Semiconductors. “SolidRun’s module puts that capability to work the way OEMs need it, with the hardest parts of the system design already done, so they can bring their next generation of intelligent industrial products to market faster and with less risk.”

LONDON, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Two London startups backed by European early-stage venture capital firm 2100 Ventures have been recognised in Sifted’s 2026 AI 100, which ranks Europe’s most promising AI-native startups. Swap ranks #9 and Lupa #38, among four 2100 Ventures portfolio companies to make this year’s list. 

2100 Ventures has also been named the only Italian investor among Sifted’s Top 50 investors and lenders behind the AI 100, ranking #28 overall, with twice as many portfolio companies represented as last year. The recognition highlights the firm’s role in identifying and supporting emerging European technology businesses as they develop and scale. 

Alongside Swap (#9) and Lupa (#38), the other 2100 Ventures-backed companies recognised are Mimic (#23) and Orbio (#62). 

More than 1,500 eligible companies were considered for Sifted’s 2026 AI 100, which covers AI-native startups valued under $1bn, with companies assessed on market opportunity, competitive differentiation and momentum. 

London-based Swap, which ranks #9 in the AI 100, provides an AI-powered platform helping ecommerce brands manage and grow their global operations. Founded in 2022, the company raised $100 million in January 2026, following a $40 million Series B, bringing its total funding to $149 million. 

Lupa (#38) is a London-based, AI-native veterinary technology company developing software to modernise veterinary practice management by automating administrative tasks, clinical documentation and client communications. Founded in 2023, the company raised $4 million in seed funding in January 2025 from investors including firstminute capital, 2100 Ventures and Vento by Exor Ventures. In October 2025, Lupa announced a further $20 million Series A, bringing its reported total funding to $25 million. 

Founded in 2023 by Alessandro Benetton alongside Andrea Casasco and Andrea Gennarini, 2100 Ventures invests in and supports early-stage businesses across sectors including AI, SaaS, fintech, data and ClimateTech. The firm – supported by Edizione, one of the most important European industrial holdings, and 21 Invest – works with emerging founders as they develop ambitious ideas and build businesses capable of international impact. 

Alessandro Benetton, Chairman of Edizione, founded the private equity firm 21 Invest in 1992, which has since raised more than €3 billion in capital and invested in more than 110 companies. His involvement in 2100 Ventures extends that investment activity into Europe’s early-stage technology ecosystem, with a focus on backing a new generation of entrepreneurs and innovation that can create shared value for business and society.

Alessandro Benetton said: “Europe has extraordinary entrepreneurial talent, and we believe strongly in giving the next generation of founders the backing they need to turn ambitious ideas into businesses with international impact. 

“Young people represent both the present and the future of our society. We need to listen to them, help them express their talent and support them as they drive innovation and bring forward new solutions for society. For me, this is also what shared value means: supporting enterprise in a way that creates lasting benefits not only for business, but for the wider communities it serves. 

“Having four 2100 Ventures portfolio companies recognised among Sifted’s AI 100 is encouraging. It reflects the ambition of these founders and the importance of giving emerging talent the support, confidence and resources to challenge established models and create new opportunities. That was central to why we created 2100 Ventures.”
