Broader AI adoption improves productivity across asset recovery and enterprise operations

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) (“Yiren Digital” or the “Company”), a leading company specializing in financial technology and artificial intelligence innovation across multiple industries in China and global markets, today announced measurable operating efficiency improvements as it continues to deploy AI agents across core enterprise workflows. Broader AI adoption is reducing manual intervention, increasing workforce productivity and creating greater operating leverage by automating high-volume processes across multiple business functions.

These deployments are a key component of Yiren Digital’s “All-in-AI” strategy and its broader transition from AI-assisted productivity toward agent-driven execution. By embedding AI agents into core workflows, the Company is creating reusable operating capabilities that can be deployed across its businesses, supporting greater efficiency and reducing the cost of extending automation into new functions.

“Our objective is not simply to automate individual tasks, but to fundamentally improve how work is performed across the enterprise,” said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital. “As AI agents take on more of our high-volume, demanding workflows, the productivity gains are becoming a structural part of how we run the business, not a one-time efficiency project. We will continue to deepen AI integration across our existing businesses while extending reusable capabilities into additional verticals.”

The AI deployments are supported by the Company’s proprietary enterprise AI architecture, including MagiCube 2.0, its upgraded multi-agent platform. The platform provides common infrastructure for agents deployed across marketing, customer service, capital operations, risk management, compliance and research and development, with more than 10 reusable foundational capabilities, supporting enterprise-wide execution.

Measurable Operating Impact

Lower manual intervention: The human handling rate in asset-recovery operations decreased from 45.0% to 24.9%, representing a 20.1-percentage-point decline, an approximately 44.6% relative reduction in manual intervention.

Higher staff productivity: The number of service tickets handled per asset-recovery staff member within the applicable Month 1 workflow increased from 358 to 525, an improvement of approximately 47%.

Expanded agent adoption: AI agents accounted for 81% of service tickets within eligible Day 1 asset-recovery workflows in 2025, up from 50% in 2024. The Company also deployed AI agents selectively in later-stage workflows, accounting for 20% of eligible service tickets at Day 4, 14% at Day 16 and 20% at Month 2. Each percentage is calculated separately for the relevant stage and should not be interpreted as a sequential adoption trend.

Enterprise-wide reuse: MagiCube 2.0 supports agent deployment across six enterprise functions, allowing the Company to apply common AI capabilities to a broader range of regulated and high-volume workflows.

Enterprise-scale AI execution: The Fengchao AI voice agent processes approximately 1,500 hours of real-time speech-to-text activity each day. The LingShu intelligent marketing platform executes more than 1,700 tasks daily and generates individualized communication content in an average of 0.6 seconds.

Building Enterprise Operating Leverage Through AI

As AI deployment expands across the enterprise, Yiren Digital is increasingly shifting repetitive, high-volume tasks from human-assisted processes toward agent-driven execution. By combining AI agents with centralized orchestration and governance, the Company is improving operating consistency, strengthening workforce productivity and creating reusable capabilities that increase operating leverage as AI is deployed across additional business functions.

Yiren Digital plans to continue expanding agent-driven workflows across its credit and insurance operations, as part of its ongoing All-in-AI strategy, while strengthening the shared architecture and governance that support enterprise-wide AI deployment. These capabilities are designed to scale across multiple use cases and provide a foundation for the Company’s broader expansion into AI application-layer opportunities, including AI entertainment and AI-assisted language learning.

About Yiren Digital

Yiren Digital Ltd. is a leading company specializing in financial technology and artificial intelligence innovation across multiple industries in China and global markets. The Company leverages advanced artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to enhance customer experience, optimize capital efficiency, and expand financial inclusion.

Infinium Edge Launches EdgeSites™, a New Infrastructure Model for Deploying AI Compute at Existing Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Published

on

By

EdgeSites delivers operational AI infrastructure in existing powered buildings — factory-built data center modules, waterless cooling, and ready in months without new construction or grid interconnection required.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infinium Edge™ today announced Infinium EdgeSites™, a development program that utilizes existing commercial and industrial facilities to deploy operational AI compute infrastructure. Built around Infinium Edge’s proprietary Edge Thermal Vectoring™ immersion cooling platform, EdgeSites enables high-density GPU deployments in existing buildings that were never designed as data centers — without new construction, without cooling water infrastructure, and without the multi-year grid interconnection timelines that constrain conventional large-scale data center development.

More than 20 million commercial and industrial electricity customers in the US are served by electrical infrastructure sized to peak demand – which industry research shows are utilized at only 40-60% on average. That unused headroom, capacity already contracted, energized, and sitting behind the meter, can support high-density AI compute without adding new load to the grid or waiting on a new interconnection.

At the center of the program is the Vector ONE™ — Edge’s factory-built, self-contained immersion cooling system designed to house 1 MW of AI compute capacity. Vector ONE units are engineered for deployment in standard commercial and industrial buildings, either indoors or outdoors, arriving pre-integrated, fully commissioned and require no municipal water connection. Installations are modular and scalable: additional units can be commissioned as site power and demand allow, without rebuilding the underlying infrastructure and occupy up to 70% less floor space than air-cooled equivalents.

Built for the Shift to Inference

As inference moves to displace training as the dominant AI workload, the growth opportunity is shifting towards small, distributed data centers that can be deployed quickly and sited where demand originates. Conventional data center developments are under compounding pressure from long utility interconnection queues, sometimes lasting years, pressure around water use, and general community and regulatory opposition enacting restrictions. Community opposition and regulatory friction delayed or blocked an estimated $156 billion in planned U.S. data center capacity in 2025 alone.

EdgeSites is purpose-built for the structural shift to inference and addresses key issues stalling conventional data center developments today. Each Vector ONE unit delivers 1 MW of inference-ready capacity inside an existing building, in a market that already has established electrical infrastructure, in a timeline measured in months rather than years. Multiple units can be used in tandem to deploy up to 10 MW of capacity at a single site.  The program converts the distributed inventory of underutilized industrial or commercial electrical capacity in the United States into a nationally scaled inference network. Vector ONE’s dry-cooler loop consumes no municipal water, making EdgeSites viable in markets where evaporative cooling has been restricted or banned.

“The data center industry has been answering an infrastructure shortage with a construction playbook — build new facilities, secure new grid connections, wait years for capacity to come online,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium. “That model cannot keep pace with AI deployment timelines. Infinium EdgeSites operate around different premises: the power already exists, the buildings already exist, and the technology now exists to put them to work. We are making operational what the industry has been treating as stranded.”

Deploying EdgeSites

As demand for AI compute continues to outpace available infrastructure and focuses on distributed inference needs, Infinium Edge is expanding the EdgeSites network with qualified host locations and compute partners.

Commercial and industrial property owners of industrial sites, distribution centers, warehouses, or large commercial properties with available electrical capacity benefit from receiving lease income from infrastructure they already own or control. Infinium Edge manages all aspects of site development and operations for installing and deploying the Vector ONE system. No capital investment or operational responsibility is required from the host.

AI companies, enterprises, and compute operators requiring infrastructure on compressed deployment timelines can access high-density, edge-proximate GPU capacity through a straightforward capacity agreement, priced by the kilowatt-month, with backup power included in the capacity fee. There is no construction to manage, no permitting process to navigate, and no cooling infrastructure to operate or maintain.

Infinium Edge manages the full program from development and installation to operation and monitoring— simplifying development and data center management for AI companies and enterprises.
