GIBO Advances Toward Integrated Autonomous Mobility Systems, Building a Unified AI Stack Across Air and Ground Platforms

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIBO), Asia’s leading innovation-driven AI ecosystem, today announced the next evolution of its AI mobility roadmap, advancing the GIBO.ai Calculation Engine toward a unified, cross-domain intelligence stack supporting progressively autonomous air and ground mobility systems.

Following strong industry and partner feedback on its AI-powered aerial intelligence services, GIBO is now extending its computation-driven framework to enable deeper integration across EV motorbikes, eVTOL platforms, logistics networks, and future autonomous mobility applications.

From Intelligence Services to Integrated Autonomous Systems

As mobility platforms increasingly generate real-time data and AI-derived insights, the next phase of innovation lies in closing the loop between perception, decision-making, and execution. GIBO.ai is designed to unify these layers into a single, extensible AI stack capable of supporting progressive autonomy across multiple mobility domains.

Rather than treating autonomy as a single endpoint, GIBO.ai enables a staged evolution—where systems gradually transition from assisted operation to higher levels of autonomy, guided by continuous learning, simulation, and real-world feedback.

A Unified AI Stack Across Air and Ground Mobility

The GIBO.ai Calculation Engine integrates core AI functions including perception, navigation, behavioral modeling, mission planning, and system optimization. By standardizing these capabilities across both aerial and ground-based platforms, GIBO enables interoperability between EV motorbikes, eVTOL aircraft, and connected mobility infrastructure.

This unified approach allows mobility assets to share intelligence, coordinate actions, and adapt dynamically to environmental and operational conditions. Over time, this creates an ecosystem where air and ground systems operate as complementary components of a single intelligent mobility network.

Enabling Smarter, Safer, and More Sustainable Autonomy

A central focus of this initiative is ensuring that autonomy enhances safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The GIBO.ai framework continuously evaluates system performance, environmental conditions, and operational constraints, enabling intelligent decision-making that prioritizes energy efficiency, risk mitigation, and environmental impact.

By embedding sustainability metrics directly into AI decision loops, autonomous mobility systems can optimize not only for speed or efficiency, but also for carbon reduction and resource stewardship—aligning advanced autonomy with green-economy objectives.

“Autonomy is not a feature—it is an evolving intelligence.”

“The positive response to our aerial intelligence services confirms that the market is ready for AI systems that go beyond isolated use cases,” said Zelt Kueh, CEO of GIBO Holdings Ltd.
“With GIBO.ai, we are building an integrated intelligence stack that allows autonomy to emerge responsibly across air and ground mobility. This approach ensures that future autonomous systems are not only smarter, but safer, scalable, and environmentally aligned.”

Laying the Foundation for the Next Generation of Smart Mobility

This advancement positions GIBO.ai as a horizontal AI platform supporting the future of smart mobility, logistics, and urban infrastructure. As the ecosystem evolves, the unified AI stack is expected to support applications ranging from intelligent fleet coordination and automated logistics to adaptive urban mobility and next-generation autonomous services.

By aligning autonomy with computation-driven sustainability and cross-platform intelligence, GIBO continues to build foundational infrastructure for a future where mobility systems operate seamlessly, responsibly, and in harmony with the global green economy.

AI/works™ heralds a new era of Agile and next-generation software development

Thoughtworks’ agentic development platform developed to support both technology modernization and greenfield development.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thoughtworks, a global technology consultancy that integrates design, engineering and AI to drive digital innovation, today announced the launch of AI/works™, a new agentic development platform that sets the standard for modernizing legacy systems and building new industrial-grade technology products and platforms in the AI era. We believe the platform allows us to build higher quality technology while fundamentally improving the economics of the building, maintaining, and operating enterprise-grade technologies.

Logo AI/works Agentic AI platform
Logo AI/works Agentic AI platform

For decades, Thoughtworks has shaped many of the practices that define modern software delivery, including Agile, microservices and continuous delivery. AI/works™ extends that lineage into the AI era by unifying legacy system understanding, requirements enhancement, dynamic automated specifications generation, and agentic code generation and testing in one platform built for complex enterprise environments.

AI adoption is accelerating across industries, yet many organizations remain limited by the gap between AI ambition and legacy system reality. While emerging agentic platforms often assume clean-slate architectures or narrow productivity enhancements, AI/works™ is engineered for the hybrid conditions in which enterprises operate.

AI/works™ brings these worlds into one continuous flow. Our first set of clients building on AI/works™ show modernization cycles that once took years can now be completed in months, with significant cost reductions and dramatic time-to-market improvements, all while generating higher quality code.

The platform enables Thoughtworks’ 3-3-3 delivery model, providing a path from idea to production in 90 days, and plays well with leading ecosystems including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Databricks and Snowflake. Through a collaboration with Mechanical Orchard, AI/works also supports deep mainframe renewal.

“Every CEO and CIO I meet is trying to unlock AI value inside the reality of their existing systems, not in idealized greenfield environments,” said Mike Sutcliff, CEO of Thoughtworks. “AI/works™ is built for those conditions. It understands the systems organizations have, accelerates the systems they need next and keeps everything current as the landscape shifts. The magic comes from the combination of the platform and our deeply talented technologists. Together they deliver results with speed and confidence.”

AI/works™ uses AI-enabled reverse engineering to interpret legacy applications and convert them into structured specifications enriched with regulatory, security and industry context. These specifications guide agentic workflows that generate production-grade code, automated tests and deployment pipelines. Once deployed, the platform continuously regenerates affected components as requirements evolve, reducing reliance on manual patching and avoiding large-scale rebuilds.

Agentic engineering is emerging quickly as a competitive category. Several major firms are entering the space, yet most tools focus on accelerating new code rather than solving the structural challenges enterprises face.

“AI/works™ stands out because it addresses the entire lifecycle, from understanding and renewing legacy systems to building what comes next,” said R “Ray” Wang, CEO at Constellation Research. “This sets a new bar for the category.”

AI/works™ is available now through a co-innovation program. Broader availability will expand through Thoughtworks’ AI that works initiative and Q1 launch activities. Organizations can request a demo at https://www.thoughtworks.com/ai/works

Fushi Tech and Commonwealth Concepts Singapore Partner to Launch Integrated One-Stop Digital Platform for F&B Excellence

SINGAPORE, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fushi Tech, a global provider of integrated AI & digital solutions for merchants, today announced a strategic partnership with Commonwealth Concepts, Singapore’s renowned food and lifestyle group. Through its Fynix suite of F&B solutions, Fushi Tech will replace Commonwealth’s multiple vendor systems with a single unified platform covering mobile ordering, payments, point-of-sale (POS), and customer management (CRM).

One Platform. Four Critical Systems. Zero Fragmentation.
Traditional F&B operators typically manage 3-5 separate vendor relationships for their digital infrastructure, with one for mobile apps, another for payments, a third for POS systems, and yet another for customer data. Each system operates in isolation, creating data silos, integration headaches, and operational complexity.

Fushi Tech’s approach is fundamentally different. Through its Fynix-branded suite, the company delivers what Commonwealth Concepts needed – a truly integrated one-stop solution where every component is purpose-built to work together.

  • FYNIX Mobile App – Android & iOS ordering and digital wallet
  • MAKQR POS – Front-end point of sale management
  • Yeahpay – Integrated payment processing and settlement
  • Ascentis CRM – AI-powered customer data and loyalty platform

“The one-stop advantage isn’t just convenience,” said Johnson Tan, Vice President of Fushi Tech. “When all your systems work together from the start, you can understand your customers better, see your full business picture in real time, and create seamless experiences whether customers are using your app or ordering in-store.”

Complete Digital Transformation for Singapore Market
The partnership represents a full digital upgrade for Commonwealth Concepts, whose portfolio includes 16 established brands such as PastaMania, The Marmalade Pantry, and Bedrock Bar & Grill. The initiative includes the following:

  • Redesigning the existing TriplePlus rewards program for better scalability
  • Rolling out across customer, corporate, and staff membership programs
  • Personalizing offers and promotions based on customer preferences
  • Managing campaigns including exclusive discounts, rebates, and special gifts

Johnson Tan added: “We’re honoured to partner with Commonwealth Concepts, a company that understands digital transformation isn’t about buying more technology, it’s about making everything work together. Our platform shows that you don’t have to choose between having lots of features and having them work seamlessly. You can have both.”

The Future of F&B Technology: Integration Over Fragmentation
This partnership shows how the F&B industry’s approach to digital transformation is evolving. Early adopters focused on adding digital features one at a time, such as online ordering or loyalty programs. Now, industry leaders like Commonwealth Concepts are looking for platforms where everything connects, data flows seamlessly between systems, and customers get a consistent experience everywhere.

Fushi Tech’s one-stop approach represents this shift. It’s a platform where ordering, payments, operations, and customer relationships work together as one integrated system rather than separate tools that need complex workarounds to communicate.

Nuvoton Releases High-Power Ultraviolet Laser Diode (379 nm, 1.0 W)

KYOTO, Japan, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (hereinafter “NTCJ”) announced on January 20 the start of mass production of its high-power ultraviolet semiconductor laser (379 nm, 1.0 W), which delivers industry-leading (*) optical output in a 9.0-mm diameter CAN package (TO-9). This product achieves short wavelength, high output power, and long lifetime — three elements previously considered difficult for ultraviolet semiconductor lasers — through NTCJ’s proprietary device structure and advanced high-heat-dissipation packaging technology. As a result, it contributes to fine patterning and improved production throughput in maskless lithography for advanced semiconductor packaging.

(*) As of January 16, 2026, based on NTCJ’s research of semiconductor lasers emitting at 379 nm in a TO-9 CAN package under continuous-wave (CW) operation at a case temperature (Tc) of 25C.

As demand grows for information-processing capabilities driven by the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), there is increasing need for higher semiconductor performance. On the other hand, as transistor miniaturization approaches its physical and economic limits, semiconductor back-end package technologies and advanced semiconductor packaging, which allow integration by arranging multiple chips side by side or stacking them vertically, have been attracting attention.

One element supporting the evolution of these packaging technologies is maskless lithography. As a key light source in maskless lithography, semiconductor lasers have faced growing demands for shorter wavelengths closer to the i-line (365 nm) and higher output to enable finer wiring and improve equipment throughput. To meet these requirements, NTCJ has leveraged over 40 years of experience in laser design and manufacturing to develop and commercialize an ultraviolet semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 379 nm and an output of 1.0 W.

Ultraviolet semiconductor lasers generally suffer from significant heat generation caused by low wall-plug efficiency (WPE), and a tendency for device degradation caused by ultraviolet light, making stable operation at high output levels above 1.0 W difficult. To address this, NTCJ took a dual approach by focusing on both a “device structure that enhances WPE” and a “high thermal conduction package technology that effectively dissipates heat,” enabling NTCJ to develop a product that successfully combines short wavelength, high output, and long lifetime: a 1.0 W ultraviolet (379 nm) device. As a result, NTCJ is contributing to extending the lifetime of optical devices that utilize ultraviolet light.

The product has been newly added to NTCJ’s lineup of “semiconductor laser-based alternatives to mercury lamps,” providing customers with a new choice.

Details of the new product will be showcased at NTCJ’s booth at SPIE Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, USA, and at OPIE’26 in Yokohama, Japan. NTCJ sincerely looks forward to welcoming visitors.
