River AI raised $1.1 billion in seed and Series A funding from a consortium backed by Nvidia and AMD. The company says its River API can customize supported LLMs with 35 billion to 1 trillion parameters in 15 to 20 minutes using LoRA. River AI plans to expand its product suite beyond the API into features for personalization and continual learning for agents, and pursue its own AI silicon and PyTorch-to-compiler tooling.

Snowflake built an AWS integration to provide a governed enterprise data layer for AI without requiring continuous data copying across systems. The approach centers on keeping costs and latency down by avoiding repeated storage and pipeline maintenance for each new data copy. As a result, AI tools like Snowflake Cortex Analyst and Cortex Agents can use semantic, permissioned context across Iceberg tables and Snowflake data through open interoperability patterns.
Inferock Bench claims to provide a receipt for LLM usage by creating an independent record for every LLM API call. The concrete detail is that the receipt is issued for each API call. As a result, LLM API activity becomes auditable on a per-request basis.

Palette, a Copenhagen startup, raised €3 million in pre-seed funding led by Ugly Duckling Ventures to build a model-neutral “context layer” for teams. The company says its Palette Desktop lets teams use any AI agent on files stored in Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. The funding will be used to convert design partners into paying customers as more companies move toward AI-native workflows without locking into a single model vendor.
