Primary passages verified; automated interpretation awaits review.

Research coverage and method

Used 28 searches/page lookups: 16 queries across all four tracks and 12 original-source lookups. Retained four events with dated, opened primary evidence. Acquisition coverage yielded no retainable new event: Boost.ai's original announcement timed out, SAP/TechWolf search results pointed to an October 6 original announcement, and BlueMatrix/Aiera was already recorded. Arteris's original announcement returned 403. Nous's opened original funding post displayed only October 2026; excluded because no remaining lookup budget allowed opening dated corroboration. Semiconductor searches also found conference previews and collaboration announcements, but these were not deeply verified. No October 10 announcement was verified. The comprehension-audits paper was submitted October 7 at 13:30:47 UTC; ML Drift's original post is dated October 8 despite an October 9 discovery lead. Oratomic's original announcement describes financing collectively, so no Series B designation or financial amounts are inferred. Coverage is selective, not exhaustive.

Primary source passages verified against independently fetched pages. Automated interpretations remain labeled for review; name-only merges are withheld.

4 unresolved items withheld from this edition. Current article activity uses each corpus’s fixed news basis; historical people profiles keep their training watermark. Missing measurements stay missing.
