Handwave expands agreement with Visa to support biometric payments

Startups Magazine 11

Handwave expanded its agreement with Visa to integrate Visa technologies into Handwave’s palm-based biometric payment platform for secure card onboarding. The expanded collaboration will enable tokenisation and authentication using Visa’s Decision Manager for real-time monitoring within the platform. The update supports faster, more secure biometric payments and helps Handwave scale palm-based card linking and fraud/risk compliance across European markets, with production deployments expected within the year.

Perplexity Releases Hybrid Compute on Mac: Cloud Agents Orchestrate Down to a Local Model, Gated On Device

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 32 ● 2 sources

Perplexity released hybrid compute for its Mac app that runs tasks in the cloud but hands sensitive steps to a local model on-device without restarting the task. The feature is gated by Perplexity’s on-device PII classifier, PII-Tracer, which was trained for three epochs on about 714,000 samples and reports a character F1 of 0.629 across 12 detectors. This lets Pro, Max, and Enterprise subscribers keep protected files on Apple silicon Macs (macOS 15+), with cloud exposure limited to what the classifier permits or masks.
