Flox Intelligence is building edge AI wildlife-deterrent devices for trains, airports, and roads that sense nearby animals and emit species-specific sounds. It expects to end 2026 with about $1.5 million in revenue. The company is expanding from roughly 150 live devices toward several thousand via a $10 million Series A, strengthening its broader software and AI system beyond wildlife.
Satlyt, founded by a former Google and SpaceX product manager, raised an $8 million seed round to run AI models on satellites and ship its software on a SpaceX rocket this week. The company says its onboard use of DeepMind’s Gemma reduced transmission sizes related to software errors by more than 60%. Satlyt will focus on AI-driven onboard decision-making to cut downlink costs and test protocols for running cloud-style compute in orbit, with plans to attempt a shared compute system across two satellites next year.
Spranic is developing a spatial memory layer to record physical environments and how they change for physical AI. It aims to support reusable spatial context so robots can replan across many tasks instead of relying on statically planned deployments. The approach links that spatial data with knowledge graphs to preserve data provenance and make robot decisions more auditable.
SpaceXAI’s Grok 4.7 was made available on Amazon Bedrock and used to build and test a tool-calling agent for long-horizon tasks. Grok 4.7 matched 18 correct runs out of 18 at the xhigh reasoning effort level and 15 out of 18 at low, with mean output tokens rising from 1,184 to 9,147. The results show you can tune the Grok 4.7 reasoning effort per request to balance cost (tokens) against agent accuracy, including for production monitoring.
Consus launched as an LLM gateway that routes AI requests through ITAR-restricted, CUI-compliant infrastructure and enforces compliance at inference time. It said it completed a FedRAMP equivalency audit against the 410 FedRAMP High controls. The change is that companies handling sensitive data can connect tools like ChatGPT/Claude or open-source agents through one endpoint with model names that include compliance suffixes, while Consus avoids storing prompts or completions.
Exodus is launched to help move applications to Google Cloud Run using a coding agent that checks an app locally, compares current vs Cloud Run costs, and proposes required changes. It includes 50+ playbooks and can make the migration task-by-task or design a new Cloud Run app. As a result, developers can upgrade apps to Cloud Run with an agent-guided workflow rather than doing the migration manually.
