The FAA plans to launch SMART, a cloud-based AI system built by Air Space Intelligence, in the Washington, DC air corridor next week as the start of a phased nationwide rollout. The tool analyzes flight schedules, weather, and airport capacity to give airlines and controllers a shared view of traffic flow and potential conflicts, and was developed under an $875 million FAA grant.
Wispr Advanced Interfaces Lab has released Canto, a new speech recognition model built specifically for real-time dictation in noisy, everyday conditions rather than clean studio audio. In tests using 10 hours of real Wispr Flow dictations from over 2,300 speakers, Canto posted the lowest word error rate compared with models from Google, OpenAI, AssemblyAI, and Deepgram.
TechCrunch is closing exhibit table sales for its Disrupt 2026 conference on September 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT, after which no more Expo Hall spots will be sold. The event runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco and expects over 10,000 founders, investors, and tech leaders. Exhibit tables include team passes, branding placements, and access to networking programs like AI matchmaking and investor meetups.
A technical guide details Cyclomatic Complexity (CC), a decades-old code metric originated by Thomas McCabe in 1976 that counts independent execution paths through a method by tallying branching constructs like if, while, for, case, and logical operators. It outlines the scoring scale—1 for a single path, roughly 10 as McCabe's recommended ceiling, and above 25 flagged as excessive by Microsoft's CA1502 analyzer—and shows how to compute, visualize, and interpret it in .NET codebases alongside test coverage and IL-level analysis.
TechCrunch has set a September 18, 11:59 p.m. PT deadline for startups to reserve exhibit tables at Disrupt 2026, taking place October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Exhibitors get a table in the Expo Hall, 10 team passes, app and website branding, press-list access, and Silver Tier sponsor status.
An Entrepreneur contributor explains that many startups fail not from lack of profit but from running out of cash, a pattern dubbed the growth paradox. Rapid expansion forces companies to pay upfront for hiring, inventory and fulfillment while customer payments lag 30 to 90 days behind, draining bank accounts even as income statements look strong.
Swedish company Flow Neuroscience has launched a prescription-only wearable device in the US designed to treat depression through daily brain stimulation at home. Worn on the forehead for 30 minutes a day and paired with a companion app, the headset delivers low-intensity electrical current to the brain's left frontal lobe, an area linked to mood regulation. The device received FDA approval in December and joins a growing category of consumer neurotech products that read or stimulate brain activity.
Researchers pooled data from 137 systematic reviews covering more than 30,000 participants to determine which resistance training variables actually drive strength, muscle growth, power and function gains. They found that most prescription details mattered less than expected, but specific factors like load, volume, and exercise order produced measurable differences in outcomes.
Apple has published a new study introducing SimpleDesign, an AI model that generates protein sequences and their 3D structures together in one process rather than sequentially. It builds on Apple's earlier SimpleFold work, which used flow matching paired with general-purpose Transformer blocks to predict protein structures from amino acid sequences more efficiently than models like AlphaFold.
Google has expanded access to its Lyria 3.5 music generation model beyond Flow Music, launching it in the Gemini app and Gemini API. The rollout adds new features like short and long track options, genre templates, and vocal versus instrumental selection, with developers also gaining access via Google AI Studio and Google Vids.
Lenovo debuted Project AeroBlade, a concept 14-inch laptop under 10mm thick and weighing less than 830g, built with a magnesium-aluminum chassis. The device uses a new solid-state cooling system called 'Active Flow' instead of fans, and it packs an Intel processor, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7 and an OLED screen. Lenovo has not shared pricing or release plans, as this remains a proof-of-concept design.
At IFA Berlin 2026, Lenovo showed off Project AeroBlade, a concept laptop that replaces traditional fans and heatsinks with Frore Systems' AirJet Mini air-pressure cooling modules. The design uses four embedded AirJet units to push high-speed air across a copper base to dissipate CPU heat, enabling a thinner chassis, quieter operation, and room for a larger battery. Lenovo is the first PC maker to demonstrate the technology, though the partnership with Frore is not exclusive.
