Kirin and GenerativeX Transform the Future of Research and Development with AI

Published

on

 Introducing a New Model for Co-Creation with Researchers

TOKYO, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kirin Holdings Company, Limited (Kirin Holdings) and FDE consulting firm GenerativeX Inc. (GenerativeX) have developed a new research style that incorporates AI agents directly into research activities, with the aim of enhancing researchers’ creativity. The initiative was launched in 2026 in select research divisions at Kirin.

Through this initiative, Kirin and GenerativeX aim to realize an “AI-native research environment” that supports the entire research process, from hypothesis generation to knowledge sharing, while staying closely aligned with researchers’ thinking processes.

1.  Background 
In recent years, advances in generative AI have expanded the use of AI into areas that have traditionally depended on researchers’ advanced thinking, such as literature searches and hypothesis generation. At the same time, AI implementation in companies has often remained limited to improving operational efficiency, such as document creation and search.

In research and development settings, researchers also face the issue of “fragmented thinking,” in which their thought processes are repeatedly interrupted by information searches, searches for past materials, organizing hypotheses, and sharing information. This has made it difficult for researchers to focus on the creative activities that should be their primary focus.

2.  Overview
In this initiative, Kirin and GenerativeX have built and begun operating a research environment that combines Kirin’s vision for research with GenerativeX’s AI development capabilities by incorporating AI agents into the flow of research activities.

Kirin is responsible for designing the research concept and applying it in research settings, while GenerativeX provides AI technologies and implements the system. The system is currently being used in select research laboratories, with future expansion across the Group also under consideration.

     Key Features of This Research Style

Design that incorporates AI into the research flow
AI is constantly present within the flow of research activities, rather than being called upon by researchers only when needed.Real-time support that keeps thinking uninterrupted
The system provides integrated support for hypothesis generation, information searches, brainstorming, documentation, and knowledge sharing.A researcher-centered design philosophy
AI functions not as a replacement for researchers, but as a collaborative partner that helps bring out their creativity.From individual knowledge to co-created organizational knowledge
Hypotheses, discussions, and exploration histories are accumulated and made available for use across the organization.

Development Process
The system has been developed in an agile manner while incorporating feedback from researchers. It has been designed by aligning the functions that researchers actually want to use with the possibilities offered by AI technologies. Researchers involved in the development process have recognized the system as a tool suited to their own research activities.

Another key feature of this initiative is that AI is being used not merely as a tool for improving operational efficiency, but as a means of supporting the intellectual and creative activity of research itself. The initiative is expected to expand the potential for exploring new hypotheses, promote cross-disciplinary integration, and improve the quality of research.

3.  Future Developments
Going forward, Kirin and GenerativeX will further enhance the system’s functions to better understand each researcher’s expertise and research themes, detect signs of emerging issues, propose hypotheses, and promote collaboration among researchers.

In the future, the companies aim to create an environment in which AI naturally exists as an integral part of research, becoming a natural and seamless part of the research environment without researchers having to consciously think about using it.

4.  About GenerativeX Inc.
GenerativeX Inc. is a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) consulting firm established in 2023. The company specializes in supporting business transformation for enterprises through the use of AI agents, providing services to major clients in Japan and overseas across industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Headquartered in Marunouchi, Tokyo, GenerativeX also has offices in San Francisco and New York, and is expanding its business globally. 

The Kirin Group will steadily advance the two pillars of digital utilization set out in “KIRIN Digital Vision 2035″*: “eliminating work that people do not need to do” through productivity improvements, and “accelerating work that creates value together with people” through value creation. Through manufacturing that looks to nature and people, the Kirin Group will bring new joy in “food and health” to more people and contribute to the realization of a fulfilling society.

GeeLark Upgrades Browser Infrastructure with Version 150 and Team Password Management

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GeeLark, a provider of cloud phone infrastructure and undetectable browser technology, today announced a major update to GeeLark Browser. The release upgrades its browser kernel and user agent configurations to version 150 and introduces GeeLark Password Manager, a built-in extension designed for team collaboration.

The update responds directly to user requests for more current browser environments and simpler credential management. It also reflects GeeLark’s broader strategy to make browsers a scalable infrastructure layer for modern digital operations.

Keeping Browser Operations Current

Browsers remain central to account management, advertising, e-commerce, and social media operations. As web platforms evolve, businesses need browser environments that stay current without requiring teams to update technical parameters manually.

GeeLark has now upgraded both its browser kernel and UA configurations to version 150. Keeping these components aligned helps teams create more consistent browser environments and reduces the work required to maintain large numbers of profiles.

For businesses operating across multiple accounts, markets, and platforms, this consistency is not only a technical requirement. It is essential for building repeatable workflows that can scale across teams.

Making Account Access a Shared Workflow

The release also introduces GeeLark Password Manager, which is installed in GeeLark Browser by default and connects with Google’s official password-management capabilities.

All members of a GeeLark team can use the extension and access its shared data. This reduces the need to transfer credentials manually, install separate extensions, or repeat the same setup for every team member.

“Our users asked for faster browser updates and an easier way to manage account access across teams,” said Dominic, CEO of GeeLark. “These features solve immediate workflow problems, but they also support a larger goal: turning browser environments into shared business infrastructure rather than isolated tools.”

From Browser Profiles to Business Infrastructure

As digital teams become more distributed, businesses need more than individual browser profiles. They need cloud-based environments that can be configured once, shared across teams, and integrated into larger operational workflows.

GeeLark is building toward this model by combining current browser technology, shared account access, team collaboration, and cloud-based management within one platform.

Together with GeeLark’s cloud phone infrastructure, the browser update supports a unified approach to web and mobile operations. Businesses can manage browser-based tasks and native mobile workflows without maintaining fragmented tools or fleets of physical devices.

By strengthening both the technical foundation and collaborative capabilities of GeeLark Browser, the company is positioning the browser as a core infrastructure layer for scalable digital operations.

Hyperscale Data Has Sold Approximately 685 Bitcoin for Approximately $43 Million, Reduces Debt by Approximately $30 Million and Strengthens Liquidity to Support Michigan Data Center Buildout

Company to Retain Approximately 275 Bitcoin, Continue Bitcoin Mining and Use Its Strengthened Balance Sheet to Support Execution of Its Michigan Data Center Strategy

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that it has completed the sale of approximately 685 Bitcoin generating approximately $43 million in cash, based on recent Bitcoin market prices.

The Company intends to deploy the proceeds primarily toward the continued development and expansion of its Michigan data center, while also providing additional flexibility to manage its debt, equity and overall capital structure and support other strategic corporate initiatives.

Following the liquidation, Hyperscale Data currently holds approximately 275 Bitcoin.

Importantly, the Company’s decision to monetize a portion of its Bitcoin holdings does not represent a departure from its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Hyperscale Data expects to continue mining Bitcoin and, over time and subject to market conditions, intends to allocate capital toward increasing its Bitcoin holdings.

At this stage of the Company’s development, however, management believes that redeploying a portion of its Bitcoin treasury into the Michigan data center and strengthening the Company’s overall capital structure represents an appropriate allocation of capital.

“Bitcoin has been an important part of Hyperscale Data’s strategy and we expect it to remain an important part of our strategy going forward,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “We intend to continue mining Bitcoin and, over time, expect to use mining production and available capital to rebuild and increase our Bitcoin position.

“At this moment, however, we believe the highest and best use of a portion of our Bitcoin treasury is to redeploy that capital into the continued development of our Michigan data center and to better align our debt, equity and overall capital structure with the opportunities in front of the Company.

“We generated approximately $43 million from the liquidation of approximately 685 Bitcoin while retaining approximately 275 Bitcoin. This gives us significant additional liquidity to support the data center while preserving meaningful Bitcoin exposure.

“This is about capital allocation. We have built a substantial Bitcoin position, and today we have the ability to convert a portion of that highly liquid asset into capital that can accelerate the development of one of the most important assets in our portfolio. We believe that is the appropriate decision for Hyperscale Data and its stockholders at this point in the Company’s evolution.”

The Company believes its Bitcoin mining operations provide it with the opportunity to continue accumulating Bitcoin organically over time. The pace and extent of any future Bitcoin accumulation will depend upon Bitcoin mining production, Bitcoin prices, the Company’s liquidity requirements, capital expenditures, market conditions and other strategic considerations.

The Company will continue to evaluate the allocation of capital among its Bitcoin holdings, data center infrastructure, debt obligations, working capital and other strategic investments with the objective of maximizing long-term stockholder value.

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc, (“ACG”), is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

BLACKMILL GAMES AND THE DIRECTORATE OF GALLIPOLI HISTORICAL SITE LAUNCH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP TO BRING THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN TO MORE GLOBAL PLAYERS

ÇANAKKALE, Türkiye, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Gallipoli Campaign, a pivotal turning point in world history, has been brought into the digital realm through the video game Gallipoli.

The launch of the collaboration between the Directorate of Gallipoli Historical Site and BlackMill Games -a prominent global game developer- was hosted on August 10 at Seddülbahir Fortress, the very site where the historical battles occurred.

Within a dedicated experience area constructed for the event, participants had the opportunity to navigate the digitally reconstructed historical landscape amid the authentic atmosphere of the original battlefield.

Speaking at the launch event, İsmail Kaşdemir, President of the Directorate of Gallipoli Historical Site, noted , “Games are one of the most effective ways to reach children and young people. I hope this game will increase interest in Çanakkale both in Türkiye and around the world, encouraging more people to visit and learn about this historic land. Turkish children will have the opportunity to play as Turkish heroes, while players worldwide will gain a deeper understanding of Çanakkale. Although the war ended 111 years ago with a great Turkish victory, today these lands, under the Turkish flag, stand for peace, tranquillity, and well-being. We are determined to preserve this peace and safeguard the memories and heritage entrusted to us.”

Jos Hoebe, CEO of BlackMill Games, remarked, “We are proud and delighted to be partnering up with the Directorate of Gallipoli Historical Site on this project. This partnership demonstrates the value of bringing together the expertise of historical institutions and the creative capabilities of the games industry. By working together, we can help bring the history of the Gallipoli Front to a much wider audience and encourage a deeper understanding of the battles and the people who shaped this important chapter of history. For us, it is meaningful recognition of how games can serve as a powerful medium for engaging new audiences with historical heritage.”

Following the speeches, Kaşdemir and Hoebe formally signed the collaboration protocol.

“GALLIPOLI” TO BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 20

Gallipoli, the latest title from BlackMill Games -a studio renowned for its World War I themed games- will be released to players worldwide on August 20.

Moving beyond the conventions of a standard war game, Gallipoli offers an immersive experience that presents Gallipoli to the digital domain as an integral component of humanity’s shared historical memory.

Players will have the opportunity to experience the geography of the campaign, contemporary historical conditions, military uniforms, weaponry, trenches, and battlefields reconstructed with high fidelity to historical reality.

FROM HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY TO DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

Gallipoli digitally reconstructs key locations of the Gallipoli Campaign, most notably Seddülbahir Fortress, Kumkale, Ariburnu, and Anzac Cove. Alongside the physical geography, historical structures, natural environments, trenches, military uniforms, and period weaponry have been integrated in strict accordance with the historical realities of the era.

This approach aims not merely to simulate combat within a battlefield environment, but to allow players to experience the geography and temporal atmosphere in which the historical events unfolded.

TRANSLATING HISTORICAL REALITY INTO DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTS

To ensure an accurate representation of the Gallipoli Front and the Gallipoli Historical Site, the Directorate of Gallipoli Historical Site is making all comprehensive archival materials, historical documentation, and technical datasets available to BlackMill Games.

LIDAR scans, 3D spatial data, maps, and technical documentation are being provided to the development team to facilitate the modeling of historical structures, battlefields, and natural terrain. Furthermore, the Directorate has coordinated field operations, enabling the BlackMill Games team to conduct technical examinations and site visits across the historical battlefields.

Through these rigorous efforts, the digital rendering of Gallipoli within the game is designed to establish a robust connection with the actual geography and tangible historical heritage.
