Optellum Secures TGA Approval to Expand AI-Enabled Lung Nodule Solution To Australia

OXFORD, England, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Optellum, the leading AI-enabled solution for earlier lung cancer detection, is thrilled to announce that it has received Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) class IIb approval in Australia for the Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) platform to support early lung cancer diagnosis. This important regulatory milestone was achieved after a rigorous review of technical documentation and validation studies, recognizing its safety and performance for clinical use. VNC helps identify, triage, and manage patients with pulmonary nodules, and includes a clinically validated AI decision support tool, lung cancer prediction (LCP) AI, already used in the US and EU/UK for nodule risk stratification.

Lung cancer remains a major health challenge in Australia, with over 15,000 new diagnoses each year and low 5-year survival rates around 27%. [1] Delayed detection of incidental findings, inconsistent follow-up, and growing pressure on imaging and specialist services continue to contribute to later diagnosis. These pain points can lead to unnecessary anxiety for patients and missed opportunities for earlier intervention, highlighting the need for tools that support timely recognition and coordinated health systems.

This TGA clearance poises Optellum to help thousands of patients in Australia by supporting earlier and more consistent identification of incidental lung nodules. By helping care teams prioritize higher-risk findings and streamline follow-up more efficiently, VNC aims to reduce delays and uncertainty along the lung cancer care pathway. This clearance marks an important step in bringing validated AI tools into everyday clinical workflows, without replacing clinical judgment.

Optellum remains committed to working with Australian health systems to support responsible AI adoption that improves patient care quality and experience. This milestone reflects Optellum’s broader mission to help patients move from detection to diagnosis with speed, greater clarity, and confidence.

Cut the Cupcakes. Rebecca Moulynox on What Women Really Want at Work

  • As the 2026 Best Workplaces for Women Australia List set to drop, Great Place To Work’s GM has thoughts on International Women’s Day, performative targets and being a voice for the next generation.

SYDNEY, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rebecca Moulynox has a low tolerance for cupcakes. Not the bakery treats themselves, she’s not a monster, it’s the specific genus of ballerina pink or bubble-gum purple cupcake that appears in office kitchens every March. You know the ones, they’re always spread out next to a sagging “Happy International Women’s Day!” sign with several complicated hashtags.

Rebecca Moulynox Australia Best Workplaces For Women List
Rebecca Moulynox Australia Best Workplaces For Women List

“I find the morning tea bit condescending,” she says of the scene. “It’s superficial, performative, and that bit feels ridiculous to me. But I love hearing about what amazing women are doing, and International Women’s Day does create opportunities for these stories to come out.” she says.

Moulynox is the General Manager for Great Place To Work across Australia and New Zealand, which means she sits in the nexus of workplace culture and the data that measures it, two things corporate Australia absolutely loves to invoke but rarely reconcile. On March 5 the global authority on workplace culture will release their annual Best Workplaces for Women Australia List, timed to land days before International Women’s Day.

Women, Work And The Numbers That Matter 

The Best Workplaces for Women list isn’t organisations marking their own homework. Companies need at least 100 employees, with a minimum of 50 women. At least 30 per cent of the total workforce must be female, and 20 per cent of management excluding the executive suite, where the numbers can be inflated by a single appointment.

From there, the methodology layers survey scores from women employees with Workplace Gender Equality Agency benchmarks, awarding extra points to companies that employ more women than the industry average. A gender pay gap below 10 per cent attracts more points; if the gap blows out beyond 25 per cent, companies lose them.

“They don’t mess around, it’s a really rigorous methodology. And I genuinely like working on the list because I’ve used it myself. I want to know who has good flexible work and fair pay practices, and who has women in leadership,” she says. “I don’t want to go and work for a company with 50 men in charge and no women.” 

This year’s list surfaces some genuinely striking data. “Unfortunately there are still plenty of companies in Australia where up to 70 per cent of their workforce is women and the gender pay gap is still 35 per cent in favour of men,” Moulynox says. “When you see numbers like that you kind of go, how do you even manage that? There must be absolutely no work going on to really address the pay parity if it’s still that big when you’ve got more women than men in a company.”

Before becoming the GM of Great Place To Work for Australia and New Zealand, Moulynox spent years in finance, a sector notorious for making gender targets with the enthusiasm of someone doing community service. She has opinions about this, too.

“Companies put targets in place and try to track towards them, but in my experience, targets don’t really move the needle on people understanding why it matters,” she says. “If you really want to make actual change, you need leadership at the top to genuinely understand the business impact.”

She floats a scenario that a company chasing a 40 per cent female headcount can simply “hire them all as EAs and clerical administration” to hit the target. What separates genuine commitment from compliance? “I think if an organisation really cares about equality, they track it for the right reasons, not because they have to.”

Finding Your Voice And Using It To Help 

“A lot of the time women, particularly in male‑dominated industries like tech or finance, still try not to rock the boat,” Moulynox says. “We’re often the ones bringing harmony and working through things with gentle influence rather than sheer force of will.”

It is the kind of emotional labour that rarely shows up in a performance review. “As I’ve gotten older and recognised my own value and what I bring to the table, I’ve become more confident about saying when I actually know what I’m talking about.”

“We don’t have to be forceful, but we also don’t have to be meek and mild, making sure everyone’s happy. You can say, ‘We keep having the same conversation with the same people. Let’s change that.'”

That earned confidence, she believes, comes with an obligation. “Flexibility has been framed as this unambiguous win for women and for a lot of senior women it genuinely is,” Moulynox says. “But for young women, especially in their first three to five years, early‑career development has always depended on proximity. Being in the room, seeing how decisions get made, having those informal mentoring moments. When you move work online without redesigning how development happens, those moments just disappear, and they disappear unevenly.”

“I think it’s really important for women who hold any type of leadership role or role of influence to not just mentor, but sponsor and champion the younger generation,” she says. “When we look across five years of our data, the gap between junior and senior women is a cliff. Junior women report roughly half the recognition, half the sense that promotions are fair, and barely half the enthusiasm about coming to work that senior women do and that pattern is so consistent. We need to make space for them. Be their opportunity advocates.”

“That matters even more when you look at where AI is heading,” Moulynox says. “Young women are concentrated in exactly the administrative and junior support roles that generative AI is coming for first. If those entry‑level roles disappear and we haven’t built real pathways into higher‑value work, we shrink the whole pipeline of future female leaders.”

The unfrosted truth is that when it comes to International Women’s Day, women don’t want cake; they want fairness, a seat at the table and transparency – and the data shows they can tell the difference, especially the young women watching how employers treat the floor, not just the ceiling.

The 2026 Best Workplaces for Women Australia List will be released on 5 March, in the lead-up to International Women’s Day. To find out which 50 companies made the list subscribe here.

DXRG.AI Announces 1,500+ Traders Just Handed $6.1M to AI Agents to Trade for Them on DX Terminal Pro

In Wildest DeFi Experiment Yet, Humans Surrender Trading to AI in 21-Day Battle Royale Where Only One Token Survives

TERMINAL CITY, BC, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — It’s actually happening. Right now. Over 1,500 crypto traders have deposited more than $6.1 million into AI agent wallets and walked away from their keyboards. They can’t execute a single trade. They can only watch as their AI agents battle it out in what might be the most insane DeFi experiment ever conceived: DX Terminal Pro.

DX TERMINAL
DX TERMINAL

The Premise Sounds Like Science Fiction, But It’s Live on Base Right Now

Here’s what’s happening: Multiple memecoins just launched. Humans deposited real ETH—$6.1 million worth—into their AI agents’ wallets. Now those agents are trading 24/7 in Uniswap V4 pools. Humans? They’re locked out. They can write strategies in plain English, adjust parameters, but they cannot manually execute the trades. Only the AI agents can buy and sell.

Oh, and here’s the kicker: Every few days, the worst-performing token gets “reaped”—eliminated from existence. This continues for 21 days until only one token remains. One winner. Everyone else? They get compensated with tokens from the survivor.

“We’ve literally created financial Darwinism,” said Timothy Barton, Group Founder at DXRG. “Traders are betting they can out-strategize 1,500 other people by writing better instructions for the same AI model. Nobody can trade manually. Nobody can manipulate the market. Just pure agent-vs-agent competition with real money on the line.”

Wait… People Actually Gave AI $6.1M to Trade?

Yes. Over 1,500 participants deposited real ETH into agent-controlled vaults that they cannot manually access during the experiment. They configured their agents with behavioral parameters—risk tolerance, trade frequency, position sizing—and wrote natural-language trading strategies. Then they pressed go.

Every agent uses the same AI model (Qwen3), runs on the same infrastructure (H100 GPUs), and plays by the same rules. The only variable? Human strategy. Who can write better trading instructions? Who understands market dynamics? Who can predict what 1,500 other agents will do?

The agents can execute up to 15 actions per hour. They’re evaluating prices, monitoring competitors, executing swaps—all documented onchain. Humans can watch. They can adjust their strategies. But they cannot intervene in trades.

The Craziest Part: “Reaping”

Starting Day 7, the real chaos begins. At regular intervals, the token with the lowest market cap gets eliminated. Not just delisted—eliminated. This happens repeatedly. Tokens die. Liquidity consolidates. The pressure intensifies. By Day 21, only one token remains—battle-tested, agent-proven, and ready for public markets.

Why Would Anyone Do This?

Good question. Here’s the pitch:

Participants get to experiment with something genuinely new: collaborating with AI on high-stakes financial decisions. You’re the strategist. The AI is your execution layer. Your edge is how well you can program autonomous behavior.

And in this experiment? If your token gets reaped? You get compensated with the winner’s tokens. You’re never completely out.

The Scale of This Experiment Is Unprecedented

In May 2025, DXRG ran DX Terminal—the largest AI financial simulation ever conducted, generating 40 billion LLM tokens of data. That was play money.

This is real money. And it’s expected to generate 10x more data—potentially 1 trillion tokens of agent behavior in actual market conditions. This is the largest dataset of autonomous AI trading behavior ever created.

“This Is Either Genius or Completely Insane”

The reactions have been… mixed.

Some call it revolutionary—a glimpse into the future where humans and AI collaborate on trading, portfolio management, and financial strategy. Others call it reckless. One participant said they’re “either going to make bank or learn a very expensive lesson about blindly trusting AI to yeet into tokens called $POOPCOIN or $AIGF.”

The truth? Both might be right. DX Terminal Pro is explicitly experimental. Participants consent to an unpredictable financial system. Real capital is at risk. Agents may behave in unexpected ways. Outcomes depend on emergent behavior that nobody can fully anticipate.

But that’s exactly the point. This isn’t supposed to be safe. It’s supposed to push boundaries.

What You Need to Know:

  • Trading is LIVE RIGHT NOW on Base with $6.1M+ in play
  • 1,500+ participants have activated agents
  • Zero human trading allowed—only AI agents can execute
  • Multiple tokens competing—only one survives 21 days
  • Systematic elimination starts Day 7
  • All strategies visible onchain—complete transparency
  • Same AI model for everyone—strategy is the only edge
  • You can withdraw capital anytime—not locked in
  • Real money, real risk, real data—this is not a simulation

The Fine Print (That You Should Definitely Read)

DX Terminal Pro is experimental. This is not your normal DeFi protocol. This is 1,500 AI agents with $6.1M+ making autonomous trading decisions in real-time.

Here’s what that means:

  • Agents may act unpredictably. They’re AI. Weird stuff might happen.
  • Real capital is at risk. You could lose everything you deposit.
  • Outcomes depend on emergent behavior nobody can fully anticipate.
  • This is not financial advice. Seriously. Do your own research.

If that doesn’t scare you off, welcome to the future of experimental finance.

What Happens Next?

For the next 21 days, 1,500+ AI agents will battle it out with real money in the first true Onchain Agentic Market. The trades are happening. The data is being logged. The tokens are competing.

By March 17, 2026, only one token will remain. It will graduate to public markets on Base—battle-tested by three weeks of autonomous trading, multiple elimination rounds, and pure competitive pressure.

Will the humans who wrote the best strategies win? Will unexpected agent behavior create surprise outcomes? Will this work at all?

Nobody knows. That’s the point.

About DXRG

DXRG builds experimental financial systems at the intersection of AI and blockchain. They ran the largest AI financial simulation ever in May 2025 (40 billion LLM tokens). Now they’re doing it with real money. DX Terminal Pro is the first Onchain Agentic Market—where AI agents trade, humans strategize, and the market decides who wins.

New developer API aggregates bridging and swap liquidity to support autonomous trading and multi-chain execution

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 0x, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) infrastructure provider, today announced the launch of its Cross-Chain API to private beta, a developer solution that helps applications execute token swaps across 15+ blockchains through a single integration. The Cross-Chain API is designed to support programmatic trading and automated systems that need reliable cross-chain execution across EVM networks and Solana.

“Developers building automated trading and treasury workflows need cross-chain execution that’s fast, predictable, and easy to integrate,” said Thorsten Jaeckel, Head of Product at 0x. “With the Cross-Chain API, teams can abstract away cross-chain complexity and focus on building intelligent execution logic.”

Solving Cross-Chain Fragmentation

The 0x Cross-Chain API aggregates liquidity and routes through multiple bridge providers, automatically optimizing for best price or faster execution based on developer preferences. It enables “bridge-and-swap” experiences that settle in less than a minute (for common token pairs), packaged as a single action for the end user.

“AI agents don’t see chains, they see opportunities,” said Will Warren, co-founder and co-CEO at 0x. “Our Cross-Chain API removes the last major friction point for autonomous systems by abstracting away blockchain complexity. Developers can now build AI agents that seamlessly execute across any chain with a single API call.”

With 0x Cross-Chain API, developers can stream quotes to traders as soon as they are returned, and lower support costs through improved error tracking, delivering a more efficient and reliable cross chain experience that can be abstracted into a standard swap flow.

Key Capabilities

The 0x Cross-Chain API includes:

  • Cross-chain token swaps in seconds across 15+ blockchains, including major EVM networks and Solana
  • Bridge-and-swap routing backed by multiple providers, optimized for price or speed
  • Intelligent routing and quotes to support automated execution workflows
  • REST API with developer documentation, examples, and integration guides

Ready for Emerging Agent Standards

As stablecoins and payment standards mature, developers are increasingly experimenting with automated commerce and programmatic execution across crypto rails. Recent industry efforts include:

  • Standardized, HTTP-native stablecoin payment flows (e.g., Coinbase’s x402)
  • Agent-focused payment and authentication frameworks (e.g., Google’s Agent Payments Protocol and OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol)

0x Cross-Chain API is designed to integrate seamlessly with emerging payment and authentication standards for AI agents, including Coinbase’s x402 protocol (0x already powers Coinbase Developer Platform’s Swap API used in Agentic Wallets), Google’s AP2 standard, and OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). This forward-compatible design ensures developers building on 0x today will be ready for the autonomous systems of tomorrow.

Industry research by McKinsey estimates AI agents could mediate trillions of dollars of commerce annually by 2030, increasing the need for fast and dependable cross-chain execution.
