After earning five media awards at CES 2026, the Beatbot Sora 70 is now available for pool owners to purchase in two color options, Lavender Purple and Deep Blue.

“Beatbot Sora 70 was built around a simple idea: one streamlined product that actually cleans the entire pool,” said Jimmy Hu, VP at Beatbot. “From surface skimming to walls, floors, and the waterline, the Beatbot Sora 70 handles everything automatically.

Complete Pool Coverage in One System

  • The pool floor

In addition, Sora 70 cleans shallow platforms and tanning ledges in water as shallow as 8 inches (20 cm), treating these areas as standard cleaning zones rather than special cases.

Navigation and coverage are supported by SonicSense™ Obstacle Avoidance, which uses ultrasonic sensing to detect obstacles, platform heights, slopes, and transitions, allowing the robot to adapt to different pool designs and layouts.

Designed for Hands-Off Operation
Beatbot Sora 70 is built for minimal user intervention. It delivers up to 5 hours of floor cleaning on a single charge, features a 6-liter debris capacity to reduce mid-cycle emptying, and automatically parks itself at the pool edge when a cleaning cycle is complete or battery levels are low, enabling easy retrieval.

Groundbreaking Innovations from TCL Transform How Fans Enjoy the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina and Around the World

Technology enhances athlete comfort and connection throughout the event

MILAN, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With the Olympic Winter Games in full swing, Worldwide Olympic Partner TCL is playing a key role in supporting how millions of people enjoy Milano Cortina 2026 around the world by supplying advanced display technology and expertise for the International Broadcast Centre (IBC), the central technical hub for global media coverage operated by Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS).


 


The company has provided large quantities of TV screens, as well as commercial display screens and a large-scale LED installation, to empower media organizations in bringing the Olympic Winter Games to global audiences with exceptional clarity and fidelity. Additionally, TCL has equipped the IBC’s visitor exhibition area with its latest flagship innovation, the groundbreaking TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV. Standing for Super Quantum Dot, it sets a new standard for display technology with unmatched brightness and contrast, exceptional color performance, an industry‑first, ultra‑slim, borderless design, and top‑tier audio—creating an unparalleled visual and audio experience. TCL also provided its 65-inch televisions for the Main Press Center (MPC) to help the world’s media follow every moment of the action, and additional TVs across Olympic venues.


Among the provided TVs, the 55″ screens will play a vital role in supporting the “Athlete Moment,” where athletes can see and speak with family and friends at home immediately after their events with unmatched clarity. By making it feel as though their loved ones are at their side, TCL’s technology is helping to create powerful moments of connection and celebration throughout the Olympic Winter Games.

Yiannis Exarchos, the CEO of OBS, said: “We are delighted to welcome TCL as a Worldwide Olympic Partner. Only a select number of companies globally have the scale, capability, innovation, and technology required to meet the demands we face as the host broadcaster of the Olympic Games—and even fewer pair that with a deep understanding of Olympic values and the power of the Olympic Winter Games to bring people together.”

Beyond supporting the competition and broadcast, TCL is also enhancing daily life in the Anterselva and Livigno Olympic Villages by providing smart home appliances, supporting athletes’ comfort through technology thanks to the smart washing machines and dryers that keep competition gear fresh. Additionally, the Plaza of the Milano Olympic Village features a space showcasing TCL’s latest innovations, including AI-enabled air conditioners and TCL RayNeo AR glasses. The glasses are the ideal partner for athletes as they offer real-time translation through augmented reality and can provide navigation cues and information as they explore Milan.

Li Dongsheng, Founder and Chairman of TCL said: “The Olympic Games provide an unmatched spectacle of excitement and excellence and our aim is to ensure that fans on-site, athletes, and audiences worldwide are able to enjoy the event in new ways. Through our groundbreaking technology, we’re proud to know that viewers can feel closer to the action than ever before.”

Such technology also elevates the at-home excitement around the Olympic Winter Games, capturing the spectacle of the competition with an extraordinary degree of realism. Part of TCL’s vision of a ‘screen universe’, these innovations have been developed through TCL’s robust global infrastructure built over 27 years, comprising 47 R&D centers and 39 manufacturing bases serving over 1.3 billion users around the world. This track record has helped TCL rank as the Global Top 2 TV brand and the Global No. 1 brand for Mini LED TV shipments, securing a 29.4% market share in the category.

Deeplumen Launches Agentic Page to Power Content Distribution Infrastructure for the M2AI Era

Following UCP for Java, Deeplumen Unveils Agentic Page, Enabling Brands to Move from “Persuading Humans” to “Informing Agents”

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — While the industry debates the future of digital presence, one thing is clear: if an AI Agent cannot “see” you, your brand risks becoming invisible in AI-driven decision environments. Today, Deeplumen announced the launch of Agentic Page, a purpose-built solution designed to make brand content discoverable, structured, and directly actionable for AI systems.

Following the successful January release of UCP for Java, Agentic Page serves as the distribution layer of Deeplumen’s Marketing-to-AI (M2AI) framework, establishing a core infrastructure layer for AI-mediated commerce.

From Super Bowl Buzz to Agentic Commerce

The recent wave of AI-themed advertisements during the Super Bowl has sparked intense debate. While many brands are using AI to create flashy visuals or quirky scripts, these remain traditional “top-of-funnel” efforts aimed at human audiences.

Deeplumen views this as a transition phase. The ultimate form of AI advertising isn’t just a better video; it is Agentic Commerce. In this new reality, the “consumer” is often an AI Agent acting on behalf of a human. Success is no longer about winning a 30-second TV slot; it’s about earning semantic priority within an Agent’s decision-making logic.

The Renaissance of the Brand Website

In the social media era, many saw the brand website as a static reference page rather than a strategic asset. In the AI era, the official website is re-emerging as strategic digital infrastructure.

  • The Ultimate Source of Truth: AI Agents prioritize high-authority, first-party data. An optimized official website is one of the best ways a brand can ensure an LLM retrieves verified information rather than generating inaccurate outputs.
  • The AI Gateway: While social platforms are walled gardens, the brand website is the open gateway where Agents systematically crawl, interpret, and index structured data.

Agentic Page: Infrastructure for AI Visibility

Deeplumen positions Agentic Page as a category-defining solution designed to operationalize AI visibility at scale. Agentic Page functions as a “Semantic Translator” for the brand website:

  • First-Mover Simplicity: Agentic Page removes technical barriers by enabling brands to instantly deploy structured content protocols that Large Language Models (LLMs) can natively understand, retrieve, and cite.
  • Structured Authority: It shifts strategy from “visual storytelling” to “semantic logic,” prioritizing machine-readable clarity to increase the likelihood of preferred AI recommendation during purchase-intent queries.
  • Closing the Loop: By pairing Agentic Page (Distribution) with Deeplumen’s UCP (Transaction), brands can move from being “cited” by an AI to executing transactions through autonomous AI-driven pathways.

“The Super Bowl showed us that brands want to talk about AI. Deeplumen helps brands talk to AI,” says the Deeplumen leadership team. “Agentic Page provides the infrastructure layer that positions brands to compete effectively in Agent-driven commerce environments.”

Announcing the “AI-Ready” Free Test Campaign

To accelerate the shift toward Agentic Commerce, Deeplumen is launching a Free Test Campaign for Agentic Pages. We invite forward-thinking brands to participate in a limited test program and experience the power of M2AI firsthand.

  • How to Join: Brands interested in securing their place in this test campaign can apply for the free trial by contacting our team at contact@deeplumen.com

About Deeplumen

Deeplumen is an AI-first technology company focused on the intersection of AI agents and global commerce. As the pioneers of the Marketing-to-AI (M2AI) framework, Deeplumen builds the protocols and infrastructure that allow brands to compete in environments where AI systems increasingly mediate consumer decisions.

ICONIC FLORIDA POLO FACILITY HITS THE MARKET

AN UNPARALLELED LEGACY AND LEGENDARY PROPERTY IN MODERN POLO HISTORY LISTED FOR SALE BY ICON GLOBAL.

Texas/Colorado Polo Dynasty – Jornayvaz Family to Sell Prestigious Legacy Asset in Landmark Transaction. 

WELLINGTON, Fla., Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Iconic Valiente Polo Farm, regarded globally as the most renowned and accomplished polo facility of the modern era, is being offered for sale for the first time in its extraordinary history.

Set across approximately 150 acres of pristine, private, and immaculately manicured land in Wellington, Florida, Valiente Farm is considered the most revered address within the global polo community – a place whose legacy transcends ownership and whose impact on the sport is unmatched. Four championship fields, barns, accommodations and infrastructure like no other.

“Valiente Farm is hallowed ground, and no matter its future owner or its future use, it will always be hallowed ground in the world of Polo.” – Icon Global Founder, Bernard Uechtritz.

Conceived through the passion, vision, and lifelong commitment of Robert (Bob) Jornayvaz, Valiente Farm represents a singular achievement in equestrian sport, design, and operational excellence. Jornayvaz assembled world-class architects, designers, horsemen, and management teams to build not only the iconic Valiente complex, barns, entertainment and hospitality infrastructure and its championship fields, but an entire ecosystem that redefined what was possible in polo.

Valiente fields became the foundation for unprecedented global, competitive team success, while simultaneously serving as a platform for generations of aspiring professionals and amateur players. Through collaboration with the legendary G.O.A.T, Adolfo Cambiaso, and his La Dolfina bloodlines, together with the Jornayvaz family’s J5 Equestrian breeding operation, managed for decades by Roberto Zedda, Valiente evolved into the most successful and comprehensive polo enterprise in the sport’s history. Winning teams with winning horses that literally changed the game, while conquering the most coveted tournaments, winning polo championships the world over, including multiple US OPEN titles.

From its earliest days – when the land was still an orange grove – Valiente Farm was envisioned as more than a polo facility. Jornayvaz designed the property with future flexibility in mind: engineering an intricate yet simple sports complex capable of evolving across decades, disciplines, use and development opportunities.

At the vortex of the world’s most prestigious and expensively built equestrian estates and competition venues within the Golden Triangle of Wellington, Valiente Farm offers unparalleled value and versatility of use. The property can host multiple concurrent events and lends itself to a wide range of uses, including polo, show jumping, dressage, reining, cutting, or conversion into a private multi-estate enclave or venue of any kind. Such adaptability was always central to its design.

Comparable opportunities are nonexistent. The most recent sale of similar size and use of significance includes the 2022 National Polo Center and Isla Carol transactions, which together, traded for approximately $150M. The site of the Winter Equestrian Festival showgrounds is also comparable in size.

Valiente Farm, on every level – privacy, tranquility, flexibility, and ambience stands apart. Truly One of One. A rare opportunity for new stewards to continue their own vision and build upon one of the greatest dreams ever realized in sport.

About Valiente

As of February 2026, Valiente remains one of the most successful organizations in high-goal polo, most recently securing the 2024 C.V. Whitney Cup title, the sixth title for Valiente, retained back-to-back. Historically, the team is most noted for its dominance in the Gauntlet of Polo and the U.S. Open Polo Championship having won the latter in 2015 and 2017, while finalists in 2024, they lost, narrowly, to La Dolfina 10-7. Valiente is a 5-time winner of the USPA Gold Cup, 2-time winner of the World Polo League All-Star Challenge (2019 and 2020) and swept all three major 26-goal tournaments of the Triple Crown of Polo (US), in one season.
