Kaveya Super-Coupe Exudes Exceptional Levels of Customization as Global Premiere of “GT-UV” Design Study Takes Multi-Terrain Capability in a Bold New Direction

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Perhaps no location greater epitomizes the grandeur of California, making Monterey Car Week the ideal stage and moment for Karma Automotive to clearly state its intentions: to become the first American ultra-luxury automaker since the departure of the greats — Auburn, Duesenberg, Packard and Pierce-Arrow — in the late1930s.

Karma Automotive’s itinerary at Monterey Car Week commences at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering” on Friday, August 16, at 10am, when the company will reveal the production-ready interior of the striking Karma Kaveya super-coupe; together with the Global Premiere of the “GT-UV” Design Study (name to be announced), which creates a new vehicle segment to be occupied by Karma alone. The stunning Karma Gyesera four-seater will join Kaveya and the “GT-UV” on the Karma Automotive stand at The Quail.

On Saturday, August 17, at the Monterey Motorsports Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, the Karma Kaveya will be shown alongside the 3rd Generation Karma Revero, which features a trailblazing E-REV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) powertrain that seamlessly blends electric and ICE power, delivering both impressive range and exhilarating performance.

On Sunday, August 18, at the 73rd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Karma Kaveya will grace the Concept Lawn concurrent with the Concours taking place on the Pebble Beach Golf Links Hole 18 Fairway. Preceding these events on Thursday, August 15, Karma Automotive President Marques McCammon will host a private evening reception for its valued clients at an undisclosed location.

Moreover, beyond the beauty of its cars alone, Karma will continue to share insights to its intellect, innovation, and capability which further certify its entry to the ultra-luxury pantheon, with additional press announcements to follow as Monterey Car Week approaches.

Exceptional Personalization and Customization
“Every Karma we build will be shaped to fit the person who is driving it, owning it, and loving it,” says Marques McCammon, President, Karma Automotive. “We’re going to show the world how we create experiences on a very personal level, and those experiences will manifest in the way the cars look, drive and feel, and also in the technology we offer.”

The 3rd Generation Karma Revero, which begins delivering to clients in the 4th Quarter of this year, will be the first production vehicle to demonstrate the company’s highly curated approach to personalization. The public’s first glimpse of that capability is revealed with the Karma Kaveya’s production-ready interior, which makes its Global Premiere at Monterey Car Week.

Global Premiere: Karma Kaveya with Production-Ready Interior
Presently undergoing development testing and anticipated for 2026, the Karma Kaveya is draped in carbon fiber bodywork with butterfly doors, offering up to 1,000 HP of pure electric power with estimated pricing from $300,000 (USD). At Monterey Car Week, the Kaveya’s production-ready interior breaks cover, demonstrating the company’s fastidious attention to detail and exceptional capability for personalization.

The central hallmark of Karma Automotive’s new design language is the Comet Line, which forms a wake from the Kaveya’s nose through its bonnet, enshrouding its cockpit then tapering downwards to its conclusion through the butterfly doors, capturing an aura akin to a stealth jet. Its interior, evocative of spaceflight, is built to suit each client’s every demand in concert with Karma Design, and Kaveya’s interior atmosphere will benefit from the first-ever in-car audio system by luxury audio brand, Master & Dynamic.

The interior of the Karma Kaveya as specified for its Global Premiere draws inspiration from Alchemy; the interaction of interior surfaces and textural contrasts between gloss black, suede and leather, punctuated by metallic elements that quietly shimmer orange and blue, as if fired in a kiln. Midnight blue leather produced in partnership with Bridge of Weir conjures the vastness of outer space, completing a cohesive narrative from the Kaveya’s exterior Comet Line and “Interstellar Silver” paintwork through to its interior. Non-essential displays remain hidden until summoned, following a “reductionary” approach that enables the driver to remain focused on the pleasure of driving.

Global Premiere: Karma “GT-UV” Design Study
With its name and further details to be confirmed following the Global Premiere, the Design Study establishes a new segment of multi-terrain capable vehicle, the “GT-UV,” or Grand Touring Utility Vehicle. Its signature Comet Line draws exotic proportions, projecting an otherworldly boldness to deliver a dramatic four-seater concept unseen before in the ultra-luxury segment, or anywhere else.

Please stay tuned as more news continues to be released detailing Karma Automotive at Monterey Car Week.

Call out – Optimize’s glass-box approach provides greater insight to explainable property-specific settings, controls, and demand. Spherexx® Expands Optimize Revenue Management with CoPilot Predictive Simulation and Strategic Governance

New internal coaching and simulation capabilities expand predictive insight, strategic governance and user control

TULSA, Okla., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spherexx announced the addition of CoPilot to Optimize, its neural-driven multifamily revenue management platform. CoPilot expands Optimize’s strategic governance capabilities with explainable visibility into how recommendations are developed, how operating controls influence outcomes, and how adjustments may affect future performance.

Optimize’s glass-box approach to revenue management gives greater insight into why leasing rates are recommended.

Designed to strengthen Optimize’s glass-box approach to revenue management, CoPilot provides revenue managers with greater insight into why each leasing rate is recommended based on explainable property-specific settings, controls, and demand. Users can evaluate potential adjustments while maintaining direct human oversight, decision authority, and accountability. This methodology also applies to lease-up construction apartments where previous data is nonexistent, Optimize formulated Its neural network to identify occupancy growth patterns based on lease-up data and certificates of occupancy since 2013; becoming the first revenue management platform to successfully target and exceed construction proforma expectations.

A robust, layered simulator allows revenue managers to model the potential impact of changes before implementation, helping teams understand how adaptive controls may influence future results. For each unit type, users can elect to maintain the current published leasing price, accept Optimize’s recommended leasing price, or hold a price from an earlier date. Additionally, Optimize provides a concession simulation against public comparables to reveal how the cost of recurring or one-time concessions will affect actual new lease pricing.

CoPilot consolidates these decisions within a central workspace where users can review available leasing prices by status, existing rates, recommendations, explanations for changes, and the history of prior decisions. Revenue managers can adjust directly within the workflow, while embedded training video segments provide task-specific guidance throughout the platform.

Optimize continuously incorporates client’s property data through property management software integrations, along with client-selected settings for additional intelligence providers.

Forward-looking intelligence provides revenue managers with an expanded view of asset performance. Optimize displays the property’s known upcoming performance based on scheduled expirations, notices to vacate, and future lease data. Based on this information and historical performance, Optimize forecasts future occupancy, projected renewals, and potential new move-ins three months beyond the max lease term the property offers, i.e. a twelve-month lease will forecast a 15-month horizon. Market positioning based on public-comparable data can be reviewed for rent, vacancy, concessions and leasing velocity daily, weekly, or across a custom period.

CoPilot also extends governance capabilities for affordable and rent-controlled floor plans and units, enabling additional controls for fixed maximums, lease terms, and other applicable operating parameters

“We created Optimize as one of the early neural-intelligent revenue management platforms, and its intelligence has continued to evolve,” said Becca Wilson, Owner and CEO of Spherexx. “Our original vision remains the same: give clients pertinent, accurate and accessible intelligence they can understand, evaluate, and govern. CoPilot advances that vision by allowing revenue managers to see not only what Optimize recommends, but why it recommends it, explore the potential impact of their decisions, and remain firmly in control of the outcome.”

CoPilot builds upon Optimize’s established approach to transparent revenue management by combining predictive intelligence, adaptive controls, and strategic governance within a single decision environment.

20 Finalist Teams from Four Top Malaysian Universities Reach the Grand Finale of AWS CendekiAwan

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Elitery recently celebrated the Grand Finale of AWS CendekiAwan at Universiti Malaya (UM).

The event brings together 20 student finalist teams from four top Malaysian universities to pitch cutting-edge Generative AI solutions powered by Amazon Bedrock, tackling critical societal and enterprise challenges. Competing across five categories, the finalists will demonstrate how AI can be applied to address real-world challenges across education, healthcare, sustainability, financial inclusion, government technology, and social impact.

The CendekiAwan Malaysia program is a collaborative digital talent initiative by AWS and Elitery designed to bridge academic learning with practical industry requirements. Moving beyond theoretical AI concepts, the hands-on curriculum equipped participants from tech and non-tech backgrounds with practical skills in cloud computing, application development, and Generative AI.

Beginning at Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU), the initiative expanded through self-learning, hands-on workshops, and showcase sessions across Multimedia University (MMU), Nilai University, and Universiti Malaya (UM). Utilizing AWS developer tools including PartyRock, Kiro, and Amazon Bedrock, students built functional prototypes from scratch. The program encouraged students to move beyond learning AI concepts and gain practical experience developing technology-driven solutions for real-world needs.

“CendekiAwan reflects our belief that AI should be built and deployed by hands and minds like these students to solve real challenges facing communities across Malaysia,” said Daniel Zhang, Regional Data Center Operations Leader Malaysia, AWS. “Together with Elitery and our partner universities, we are proud to see these students turn skills in Kiro and Amazon Bedrock into practical solutions for education, healthcare, sustainability, financial inclusion and public services.”

The showcase brings together key decision-makers across government, higher education, and industry, including representatives from Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL). Beyond the competition, the event underscores Elitery and AWS’s shared commitment to building a resilient, future-ready AI workforce across Southeast Asia. “The CendekiAwan training programme supports Kuala Lumpur’s vision of ‘A Prosperous City for All by 2030’ by investing in talent development, strengthening capabilities, and fostering knowledge exchange. Through sustained training and collaboration, the programme seeks to contribute to a more dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready Kuala Lumpur, in line with DBKL’s commitment to the city’s socioeconomic progress and well-being,” said Ts. Kamariah binti Kamarudin, Representative of DBKL.

Representing Elitery, President Director Kresna Adiprawira said, “Through CendekiAwan, we help students move beyond learning AI concepts to building practical applications that address real-world challenges. We are proud to see their ideas turn into meaningful innovations and help shape the next generation of digital talent.”

Finalists showcase projects across five categories:

Smart Education: Enhancing learning and accessibility.Digital Health: Improving healthcare and wellbeing.Sustainable Environment & Climate: Advancing sustainability and climate resilience.Financial Inclusion & SME: Supporting business growth and financial access.GovTech & Social Impact: Improving public services and community inclusion.

Through these categories, students demonstrate how Generative AI can translate into practical applications that address challenges faced by communities, institutions, businesses, and society.

“The development process was seamless thanks to the comprehensive technology provided by AWS. For students looking to build AI-powered solutions, the most vital factor is the core idea focus on solving real-world problems.” Dewan AI — Winner, GovTech & Social Impact, Multimedia University (MMU).

As Generative AI transforms industries, CendekiAwan equips students with practical skills and innovation capabilities to develop impactful, real-world solutions through collaboration between AWS, Elitery, and Malaysian universities.

CendekiAwan Malaysia is an AWS and Elitery initiative with partner universities, equipping students from four Malaysian universities with practical cloud computing and Generative AI skills through hands-on learning, culminating in 20 finalist teams competing across five categories using Amazon Bedrock.

Small Joys, Big Market: Products That Spark Joy Take the Spotlight at 140th Canton Fair

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As emotional value becomes a key consumption driver, consumers are increasingly willing to pay for fun, companionship and peace of mind, offering an everyday interpretation of what “Better Life” truly means. This trend was on display throughout Phase 3 of the 140th Canton Fair.

Small Products, Big Feelings

In the Office Supplies Section, beyond traditional business supplies, vibrant products are capturing attention. Pens are expected to be visually appealing while staplers are designed to be cute as well as functional. Products that provide a burst of pleasure are gaining popularity.

3D stickers have emerged as a favorite among journaling enthusiasts. These stickers double as puzzles, requiring no glue and allowing users to assemble them for fun, turning decorations into interactive toys.

In the Toys Section, bag charms in various designs are ubiquitous. Meanwhile, animal-shaped sofa cushions in lazy, prone poses offer a healing touch. Filled with eco-friendly weighted glass beads, they provide a gentle hugging sensation, offering comfort and relaxation.

Emotional Comfort Across Categories

Emotional comfort was equally evident in products designed for children and pets.

A duck-shaped toy created for infants and toddlers aged 6 to 36 months attracted interest from overseas buyers. Simulating the movements of a real duck through head-turning and waddling motions alongside lights, sounds and voice guidance, the toy supports crawling, early learning and emotional comfort. Educational and bedtime-soothing modes offer music, stories, nursery rhymes and bilingual content, helping nurture development and providing a sense of security.

Meanwhile, the Pet Products and Food Section demonstrated how emotional needs also extend to animal companions. From creatively designed cat climbing structures to interactive automatic toys, exhibitors presented products aimed at enriching pets’ daily lives and strengthening the bond between pets and their owners.

As consumers increasingly seek products that deliver emotional as well as practical benefits, Phase 3 of the 140th Canton Fair offers a glimpse into evolving lifestyles and expectations. The message behind “Better Life” is clear: better living is no longer defined solely by utility, but by products that bring comfort, connection and joy.
