LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360 is proud to reveal GO Ultra, the latest evolution in the world of compact cameras. Still tiny, still hands-free, now with serious power for superior image quality.

“GO Ultra takes the advancements made with the Ace and X series cameras, and puts them into the type of compact, pocket camera our GO Series creators enjoy,” said Insta360 Co-Founder and VP of Marketing, Max Richter, “opening up new creative opportunities without sacrificing portability.”

The 1/1.28″ sensor, which is 221% larger than its predecessor, and new 5nm AI chip deliver imaging previously impossible in the GO series. Ultra-smooth, ultra-crisp 4K60fps video is the new cinematic standard for pocket cameras, and creative limits are pushed even further by PureVideo, which uses cutting-edge AI algorithms to reduce visual noise and enhance brightness in low light.

At just 53g, the size of a smartwatch, and with a built-in magnetic base, you can mount the GO Ultra Standalone Camera anywhere and capture angles other cameras can only dream of. With an upgraded Magnet Pendant and a vast array of new accessories, from the peel-and-use Sticky Tabs to the wholly original Toddler Titan Hat Clip, a new world of immersive shooting awaits.

Just as intuitive is the upgraded Insta360 app, with powerful AI tools to instantly turn your footage into shareable content. Transitions, effects, music, and more can be added with just a few taps. Cyclists can add their data—GPS, heart rate, speed—from Strava or a third-party device that syncs in real-time to their footage. The new AI Family Moments feature collates all your loved ones’ magic moments into a virtual album to cherish forever.

GO Ultra’s blend of heavyweight power, lightweight portability, and ease of use makes it essential for vloggers with active lifestyles, families sharing milestones, or travelers searching for new horizons—people who live in the moment.

Insta360 GO Ultra goes on sale August 21, 2025, at the Insta360 Store, Amazon, and select retailers worldwide. The Standard Bundle is priced at US$449.99 and includes GO Ultra (Standalone Camera and Action Pod) in either Midnight Black or Arctic White, a Quick Release Safety Cord, Magnetic Easy Clip, Magnet Pendant, USB-C cable, and a Lens Guard.

Upcoming CRA, NIS2, and NISTIR 8259A compliance deadlines are forcing OEMs to prioritize secure silicon and hardware protections.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After a few sluggish years following COVID-19, the digital authentication and embedded security market is poised for double-digit growth in the coming years, according to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research. This is despite global tariff uncertainty that continues to impact the semiconductor industry.

“The relentless, onward march of E.U. regulations is not to be derailed by global pandemics or fickle administrations,” said Michela Menting, Senior Research Director. “The fast-approaching deadlines for the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) are pushing device OEMs to pay close attention to the security of their product roadmaps. As a result, semiconductors and silicon IP providers are seeing increased interest in security hardware, with an expected boost to the market kicking off in the coming years.”

The fragmented and diverse range of IoT implementations, from mission-critical requirements in tightly regulated sectors to sectors where security was largely ignored, is propitious to the development of a broad variety of security offerings. Secure MCUs in particular are well suited to serve this varied range, with great flexibility and rich feature sets on offer from myriad vendors including Analog Devices, Infineon, Microchip, Nuvoton, NXP, Renesas, Silicon Labs, and STMicroelectronics, among others. More specific, high-assurance implementations with tamper-proof and security certification requirements (e.g. Common Criteria, FIPS 140-3, or even automotive-grade safety), can be served by secure elements and TPMs, from the large semiconductor providers, but also from smaller emergent and highly focused players such as SealSQ and TropicSquare.

As a result, industry specifications are quickly becoming de facto (and de jure) standards, notably SESIP, Matter and Qi wireless charging; they are quickly enjoying traction in the ways that IEC 62443 (for industrial) and ISO 21434 (for automotive) have in the past few years. OEMs are looking for the best ways to integrate some of these specifications and standards to help them meet the new regulatory compliance requirements of the CRA (as well as those of NIS2, and the U.S. NISTIR 8259A which is mandated for U.S. federal government use).

Embedded hardware security is not the be-all and end-all of regulatory compliance, but it is a technology that will form the foundation of that compliance for a broad swathe of the IoT ecosystem. Beyond just compliance, they are key also to adding value to product lifecycles and creating stickiness for users through feature in-field updates and service delivery.

These findings are from ABI Research’s Digital Authentication and Embedded Security Market Data report, part of the company’s Trusted Device Solutions research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

Collaboration falls under Anthropic’s “AI for Good” focus. Through embedding Claude, Binti will help social workers save administrative time and focus on working with children and families

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binti, the company that is the leader in building software to support social workers and improve outcomes in the child welfare system, announced it’s now collaborating with Anthropic to extend its reach across government agencies in the US with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The mission-driven technology company currently serves over 550 agencies in 36 states and the District of Columbia with its SaaS offerings, reaching agencies serving 46% of child welfare in the U.S, and is now expanding with its new AI offering, powered by Anthropic’s Claude.

Many social workers spend more than 50% of their time on administrative tasks, which leads to social worker burnout and not enough time with children and families. Binti and Anthropic are collaborating to launch AI tools that streamline much of this administrative work. Binti is careful not to use AI to make any decisions or recommendations. Social workers review and approve what is drafted by AI, ensuring there is human review of all work.

New features of Binti AI include:

• Binti Form and Case Note Completion: Social workers can record meetings with families, with their permission. The recording fills out a draft of the social workers’ paperwork or case notes for them, saving hours of administrative time. Social workers can also upload handwritten notes to fill out a draft of their paperwork for them.
• Chat with Binti AI: Social workers can chat with their case using AI to search through hundreds of pages of forms, case notes, case data, and agency policies to quickly get answers.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Anthropic on safe use of AI and leverage its LLM as we expand our offerings to social workers across the country,” said CEO and Co-founder of Binti, Felicia Curcuru. “We have a strong presence across local and state government agencies, serving over 46% of children in care nationwide with our software products, and know that by furthering our offerings with AI, powered by Claude, we will be able to save social workers even more time, and empower them to work more closely with families and children. The ultimate goal is to help every child have a family and a fair chance at life.”

Binti is uniquely positioned as a trusted partner to sell into government agencies today and show immediate ROI with its quick deployment.

“When we founded Anthropic, we believed AI could transform lives in meaningful ways,” said Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic. “Seeing Binti help connect children with loving families faster by cutting through months of paperwork is exactly the real-world impact we hoped to enable.”

Binti and Anthropic did a pilot launch with 20 child welfare agencies in recent months. The positive results are leading them to open up broadly to all child welfare agencies going forward. Workers have reported saving hours of administrative time every week after using the AI tools.
