ConnX to Integrate Intel Edge AI Technology Into MaestroIQ™ Platform

Published

on

Collaboration aims to bring real-time operational intelligence closer to transportation, manufacturing and other mission-critical environments

PLAINSBORO TOWNSHIP, N.J., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ConnX, a provider of AI-powered operational intelligence software for mission-critical industries, today announced it is integrating Intel edge computing technology into its MaestroIQ™ Shared Intelligence Layer. The initiative is designed to help transportation, manufacturing and other distributed operations correlate fragmented data sources and respond to developing issues faster. For cities and transportation operators, this real-time intelligence can improve situational awareness, enable faster response to safety or service disruptions, and support safer, more resilient operations.

The pairing of the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 platform with ConnX’s MaestroIQ™ platform ingests and correlates signals from networks, applications, cybersecurity systems, vehicles and industrial assets. ConnX selected the technology because it complements ConnX’s orchestration and industry application layer, letting the two platforms turn distributed infrastructure data into actionable intelligence. The combined architecture is designed to process data closer to the point of operation rather than in a centralized data center.

“Intelligence increasingly needs to operate where the physical business happens, across vehicles, factories, stores and critical infrastructure, not just in the data center,” said Indrajit Ghosh, CEO of ConnX. “Working with Intel’s edge technology helps us move customers from isolated AI pilots toward operational AI they can act on in real time.”

Unlike point solutions that address only compute or only software orchestration, the combined solution is designed to pair Intel’s Edge AI foundation with ConnX’s shared intelligence layer, helping operators detect and respond to issues faster across transportation, asset and infrastructure operations. ConnX and Intel plan to begin joint proof of value demonstrations within the initial 90 days of the collaboration, with additional details to follow as the work progresses. It builds on ConnX’s existing MaestroIQ™ deployments across transportation, manufacturing, retail and other mission-critical sectors.

ConnX will share additional details about the collaboration, including customer outcomes, as they become available. To learn more about ConnX’s operational intelligence solutions, visit connxai.com.

Creatify Labs launches Boreal-H3, a MiniMax H3 video model post-trained for advertising

Published

on

By

Boreal-H3 scores a third higher than its MiniMax H3 base on Creatify’s Ads Quality Index and costs $0.04 per second, about one-twelfth the price of Seedance 2.5.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Creatify Labs today launched Boreal-H3, an AI video model for ads built by post-training MiniMax H3 in partnership with MiniMax. Creatify trained the model on the work an ad has to do: keep the product from the reference image intact, deliver natural creator performances, and carry out the brief as written. In the company’s evaluation, Boreal-H3 scored 133.3 on its Ads Quality Index, where MiniMax H3 is 100, the highest score among the frontier video models compared. At $0.04 per second at 768p, it costs about 12 times less than Seedance 2.5, which runs at roughly $0.47 per second.

Boreal-H3 is the second model in the Boreal family, following the original Boreal released earlier this month. Where the first Boreal was built for realtime generation at one cent per second, Boreal-H3 targets the details an advertiser checks first: whether the label is readable, whether the packaging keeps its shape, and whether the creator stays the same person from the first frame to the last.

Ad quality as the benchmark

The Ads Quality Index measures how often a model produces a clip that works as an ad. A clip passes only when prompt following, reference consistency and visual realism each score 6 out of 10 or higher, and each model’s pass rate is indexed against MiniMax H3’s. Boreal-H3 scored 133.3, ahead of Omni 1.1 Flash at 122.2, Seedance 2.5 at 118.1 and Wan 3.0 Prime at 111.1.

On reference fidelity, scored at a stricter 7 out of 10 threshold, Boreal-H3 reached 85.3%, ahead of MiniMax H3 at 82.4%, Wan 3.0 Prime at 79.4%, Seedance 2.5 at 71.9% and Omni 1.1 Flash at 70.6%. Creatify’s automated judges were validated against human preferences, and its human studies used anonymized, randomized outputs.

The product stays the product, and the creator stays the creator

Against its MiniMax H3 base, Boreal-H3 raised subject consistency from 83.3% to 94.4%, keeping the product and the creator recognizably the same across a clip. On a set of difficult production briefs, it raised brief completion from 27.8% to 50.0% and cut visible defects from 1.11 to 0.33 per clip, a 70% reduction.

The model is also built for the performance side of a UGC ad. Boreal-H3 handles complex dialogue and multi-avatar conversations, with a focus on clear speech, natural pacing and a creator who can handle the product while speaking. Product demonstrations get the same attention, with cause-and-effect actions such as a vacuum leaving a clean path or a pour that behaves like liquid.

More control over every shot

Boreal-H3 gives creative teams two ways to direct a shot. Keyframe control, in image-to-video, preserves the subject and visual style of an opening frame, with an optional ending frame to set exactly where the shot lands. Multi-reference control, in reference-to-video, combines up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio clips into a single coherent shot. Text-to-video is also supported, and the model follows camera direction with natural transitions between scenes.

Faster and cheaper iteration

Boreal-H3 generates video at 1.1 seconds per video-second at 768p, so a 10-second clip takes about 11 seconds and costs $0.40. In the same comparison, Seedance 2.5 ran at 46.5 seconds per video-second and about $0.47 per second, which makes Boreal-H3 roughly 42 times faster and 12 times cheaper. MiniMax H3 ran at 32.3 seconds per video-second. On a 15-second product demo published on the model page, Boreal-H3 rendered in 84 seconds against 411 seconds for Seedance 2.5.

A post-training loop that learns what to improve next

Creatify details the approach in its technical report, Introducing Boreal-H3: The Next Frontier in Video Is Post-Training. The company built a closed-loop system that improves the model across data, training and inference strategy. Each generated ad is evaluated on five dimensions: brief execution, product integrity, creator identity, realism, and motion and continuity. When the feedback is unreliable, the team revises the evaluator or reward before optimizing the generator, putting measurement quality ahead of training volume.

Creatify notes that the evaluation measures ad quality before launch, and real campaign testing still has to determine which ads convert.

Pricing and availability

Boreal-H3 is available now in Creatify’s Model Playground and through the Creatify API, with text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-to-video modes. Pricing is the same across all three modes: $0.04 per second at 768p, $0.12 per second at 1088p and $0.26 per second at 2K. At 768p, that is half of MiniMax H3’s $0.08 per second list price. More details are on the Boreal-H3 model page.

COSRX Sets the Fall Skincare Agenda for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fall skincare resets are in full swing, and COSRX is giving shoppers a reason to refresh their routines during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, October 6–7. For two days, the global derma beauty brand will offer some of its strongest savings of the season across longtime bestsellers and newer formulas spanning Snail Mucin, Peptides, PDRN, Exosomes and Ceramides.

The event also offers an opportunity to replenish some of the brand’s most recognized essentials. The cult-favorite Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream will each be 41% off, while The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum will be 36% off.

At the same time, the lineup gives shoppers room to go beyond their regular staples and explore newer formulas across some of COSRX’s key skincare categories.

“Prime Big Deal Days is one of those moments when our customers can replenish the COSRX products they already rely on while adding something new to their routines,” said a COSRX spokesperson. “For fall, we’re especially focused on hydration, skin barrier care and Peptide-powered skincare—bringing together proven COSRX favorites with newer formulas that reflect what our community is looking for now.”

The COSRX Products Worth Stocking Up on This Prime Big Deal Days

The Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Glow Serum — 26% Off
As temperatures drop and routines become more hydration-focused, The Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Glow Serum offers an easy way to layer moisture and anti-aging care into the same step. Built on COSRX’s Peptide expertise, the serum pairs Copper Tripeptide-1 with Bakuchiol to target the appearance of elasticity, fine lines and loss of firmness while leaving skin looking hydrated, plump and luminous. Its firming and plumping focus also make it relevant for skin that appears less resilient or more depleted after periods of stress, including changes associated with weight fluctuation. For those looking to anchor their routine with one key healthy-aging product, the serum offers a versatile year-round option that layers easily into more hydration-focused fall and winter routines.PDRN EXOSOME Skinplaning Glaze Mask — 20% Off
The TikTok viral PDRN EXOSOME Skinplaning Glaze Mask combines PDRN with Exosomes in a cream-to-film format designed to boost hydration, firmness and glow. As it dries, the formula turns into a peel-off glaze with a subtle pearlescent sheen, leaving skin looking smoother, plumper and more luminous, even after just one use.The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer — 30% Off
The transition into colder weather often comes with a shift in skincare priorities and barrier care moves to the top of the list. The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizer combines Ceramides with Panthenol and Hyaluronic acid to help replenish hydration and support the skin barrier, making it an easy seasonal switch for skin that starts to feel drier, tighter or more sensitive as temperatures fall.New COSRX Peptide Sets — Up to 33% Off
Prime Big Deal Days also arrive just as holiday shopping starts to pick up, giving COSRX fans an early opportunity to shop for the brand’s new peptide-focused value sets.
The Glow Boosting Peptide Trio will be available at 33% off, while the Peptide Bounce and Glow Giftset will be 30% off, bringing multiple Peptide skincare products together in value-driven formats suited for gifting—or simply building out a more complete Peptide routine.One Step Original Toner Pads — 30% Off
For shoppers who prefer to tailor their routines to specific skin concerns, COSRX’s One Step Original Toner Pad collection offers four options addressing concerns ranging from pores and texture to hydration, calming and visible firmness. During Prime Big Deal Days, the toner pads will be 30% off, with an additional 10% off when shoppers purchase two or more qualifying toner pads. The mix-and-match promotion allows shoppers to build a routine around different skin needs rather than committing to a single concern.

From replenishing everyday staples to exploring newer formulas built around Peptides, PDRN and barrier-supporting ingredients, COSRX’s Prime Big Deal Days lineup brings together products for a wide range of fall skincare needs. With savings across both established favorites and newer additions, the two-day event offers an opportunity to refresh routines ahead of the colder months—and get an early start on holiday beauty shopping.
