In the Information Age, Data Becomes a New Factor of Productivity

In economics, factors of production, also known as production inputs, are essential resources for the production of goods and services. In his epochal work “Principles of Economics”, famous British economist Marshall put forward the theory of four factors of production — land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial talent. National income (NI) is the reward of four factors, and that is, national income (NI) = labor wage (w) + land rent (r) + capital interest (i) + operating profit (π). This “four-in-one formula” sums up the core of western economic production theory and distribution theory, which has been widely accepted for more than a century.

However, factors of production are a historical category that evolves with the development of economy and society. The birth and development of the Internet has changed the mode of production, life and consumption, and it promoted many important and profound changes, and played an increasingly important role in economic development, social life and national governance. The full exploitation and effective utilization of all kinds of data has raised production efficiency to an unprecedented level. Data has become an indispensable factor in economic activities and a new generation of production factors after land, energy, population and food.

Privacy Brings Data Dilemma and MPC Realizes Data Collaborative Computing

Nowadays, people have already extended their social activities to the network space. Every day, people contribute data continuously to the network space. A large amount of data is collected, calculated, analyzed, excavated and this goes beyond the original data level of information value.

However, because of the plain text nature of the data, the owner loses ownership of the data once the data is granted to others for use. Therefore, to ensure the privacy protection of data, a huge amount of data managed by enterprises cannot be exchanged and co-calculated with the data held by other enterprises, which is why a large number of data cannot generate value.

The emergence of privacy computing ends this dilemma. Yao Qizhi, a member of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences, proposed secure multi-party computing (MPC) in 1982. In a nutshell, participants have to enter information to calculate an agreed function. In addition to the accuracy of the calculations, they must also protect the privacy of each participant’s input data. Specifically, there are now n participants, each of whom, xi, is aware of the xi they entered, who together calculate a pre-agreed function f (x1 ,…, xn) = y. In this way, all participants will get the final y value, but they will not be able to know the specific data entered by the other participants. Thus, with local data not aggregated and privacy not divulged, each party can still achieve a common desired result by performing the operations of the given logic.

Privacy computing opens up huge business prospects for the digital world (Crypto Space)

Bitcoin’s pioneering combination of virtual currencies and peer-to-peer payment systems open the door to decentralization. With the introduction of intelligent contract function, Ethernet has greatly improved the scalability of blockchain, and all kinds of applications can be deployed on blockchain. Because of these characteristics, early public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethernet have been developed, attracting a large number of blockchain and encryption enthusiasts in the world, and many traditional institutions have been entering the area of blockchain, exploring various possibilities of decentralization.

The combination of privacy computing and blockchain is expected to put data ownership back in the hands of data producers, meaning that vast amounts of data can be counted without affecting privacy and ownership, so that the owners can profit and data can burst out with greater value. Therefore, the blockchain project based on privacy calculation is naturally suitable for the commercial practice in the fields of financial, medical, scientific research, government affairs, and logistics and so on.

“Operator” PlatON network for blockchain data

PlatON, the representative project of the combination of privacy computing and blockchain currently, is based on the basic attribute of blockchain and is supported by privacy computing network, and provides the next generation Internet infrastructure protocol with the core characteristics of “computing interoperation”. PlatON’s vision is to become the public infrastructure for privacy computing of the next generation, publishing privacy computing algorithms through contracts, and implementing MPC protocols with data providers and computing nodes for privacy protection requirements, so as to realize cooperative computing of data. PlatON, designed to price data flows, is all about computing and data, which is the most fundamental part of future human production. PlatON can achieve large-scale application landing and commercial scenario implementation:

For example:

I. Build a wider credit collection network. The public chain that provides private computing can provide user with customizable computing logic template and multi-party access mode, and in the case that the access party’s data does not need to be collected and shared, only the credit inquiry results are output to the demander, and the original data can be encrypted and stored in the blockchain system to meet all kinds of audit needs.

II. Supply chain financial infrastructure. The public chain of private computing is based on blockchain technology and cryptography algorithm, which can provide a platform solution for supply chain finance to digitally identify, process and transfer assets. Construct a new financial financing model of supply chain in which the information of the upstream and downstream enterprises can be shared symmetrically, the credit value of the core enterprises can be transmitted, the business tickets can be split and the risk can be controlled, and provide convenient data traceability for the supervision and enhance the service efficiency of the industry as a whole.

To build the public infrastructure for the digital age, PlatON continuously optimizes technology, iterates the underlying infrastructure, and breaks through the “impossible triangle” in terms of performance. “Impossible triangle” means that it is difficult to achieve both a good “decentralization” and a good “security” of the system in a blockchain and a high “transaction processing performance” at the same time. The most well-known blockchain projects in the industry are Bitcoin, Ethernet, and EOS. At present, using native Token transfer performance test method and EOS under the same testing conditions, PlatON has achieved a comprehensive performance leader in the quasi-real environment, and will continue to focus on the data field and accelerate the construction of data market.

Press Release

General Compute Launches the First ASIC-Native Neocloud

Published

on

May 22, 2026

By

General Compute has opened its production inference cluster to developers building agent applications, running SambaNova SN40 and SN50 dataflow silicon that posts the fastest independently benchmarked speeds on the MiniMax M2.7 model family.

San Francisco, California, United States, 22nd May 2026 – General Compute today announced the general availability of General Compute Cloud, the first ASIC-native neocloud purpose-built for the next generation of autonomous AI development tools. Where existing neoclouds rack incumbent GPUs, General Compute has designed its serving stack around its inference-optimized ASICs.

Unlike traditional cloud platforms designed around human operators clicking through dashboards, General Compute Cloud is also the first major cloud to treat AI agents as first-class users. Coding agents can complete the entire onboarding flow themselves, creating an account, claiming the launch credit, and retrieving a working API key, without requiring a developer to step in. The result: a developer can ask their AI agent to “switch its inference to General Compute,” and minutes later be looking at running infrastructure they never had to provision by hand.

Agentic workloads issue dozens or hundreds of model calls per task, which means even small per-token gains compound into dramatic differences in developer experience and unit economics. By optimizing the silicon, runtime, and API surface for inference rather than retrofitting general-purpose accelerators, General Compute aims to push down both first-token latency and sustained token throughput on the open and frontier models developers use most.

Agent-native signup is supported out of the box. When invoked through OpenCode, OpenClaw, or any compatible client, the agent can complete account creation, verify the workspace, claim launch credit, and return a scoped API key back to the developer’s environment — turning what was historically a multi-step onboarding into a single natural-language instruction.

“Our goal is simple: we want General Compute to be the fastest inference provider on the market, and we want to ship the fastest inference API any developer or AI agent can call,” said Jason Goodison, CTO and co-founder of General Compute. “Optimizing the silicon is how we get there. The $200 in launch credit is our way of inviting builders, and their agents, to put us up against anyone else and see the numbers for themselves.”

General Compute Cloud is available immediately to customers globally at generalcompute.com. The launch credit is automatically applied to new accounts created between May 20 and May 27, 2026. OpenCode and OpenClaw users can begin a General Compute session directly from within their agent by asking it to “sign me up for GeneralCompute.com”

About General Compute

General Compute is the first ASIC-native neocloud, building custom inference silicon and the cloud platform that runs on it. The company’s stated goal is to operate the fastest inference provider and the fastest inference API for AI agents and the developers who deploy them. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco, General Compute is backed by leading technology investors. Learn more at generalcompute.com.

Press Release

Post Oak Group Reports Middle Market Emerging as the Strong Segment of 2026 M&A

Published

3 hours ago

on

May 22, 2026

By

Post Oak Group, recently named the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is reporting a meaningful acceleration in transaction activity across the middle market

Houston, Texas, United States, 22nd May 2026 – As broader M&A markets continue to navigate shifting macroeconomic conditions, interest rate normalization, and evolving buyer behavior, the middle market has emerged as the strongest and most active segment of dealmaking in 2026. Post Oak Group, recently named the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is reporting a meaningful acceleration in transaction activity across the middle market, a trend the firm sees as reshaping the broader M&A landscape heading into the second half of the year.

While large-cap M&A has remained selective and mega-deal volume has been uneven, the middle market is demonstrating a level of consistency, resilience, and deal momentum that distinguishes it as the most reliable segment of the 2026 cycle. Founders, family-owned businesses, sponsor-backed companies, and institutional buyers are all returning to the table with renewed conviction, driving a broad-based resurgence in middle-market deal activity.

Post Oak Group, a leading middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas, attributes this strength to several converging dynamics:

 

A Narrowing Bid-Ask Spread

After two years of valuation disconnects between buyers and sellers, expectations are aligning. Sellers have adjusted to the current rate environment, and buyers, particularly private equity, family offices, and strategic acquirers, are showing increased willingness to transact at levels that work for both sides. This is one of the most significant unlocks for middle-market deal flow in 2026.

 

Renewed Buyer Appetite Across Multiple Channels

Private equity firms with record levels of dry powder are deploying capital aggressively into the middle market, where competition for high-quality assets remains intense but more rational than during the 2021 peak. At the same time, family offices have emerged as a dominant force, often outcompeting traditional sponsors on founder-led deals where cultural fit, longer hold periods, and operational alignment matter as much as price.

 

Strategic Acquirers Returning to the Table

Corporate buyers are increasingly active in the middle market as they pursue tuck-in acquisitions, sector consolidation, and capability-driven deals. With many large public companies focused on disciplined growth, the middle market has become a primary source of strategic optionality.

 

Sector Breadth Driving Sustained Activity

Unlike prior cycles concentrated in a handful of sectors, 2026 middle-market activity is broad-based, spanning industrial services, healthcare services, energy transition, business services, technology-enabled services, and consumer-driven verticals. This diversification is one of the key reasons the segment is proving more durable than the broader M&A market.

 

A Shift Toward Quality and Certainty

Buyers and sellers alike are placing a premium on certainty to close, disciplined diligence, and well-prepared processes. This favors middle-market transactions, where senior-led advisory, structured execution, and relationship-driven dealmaking continue to outperform.

As the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, Post Oak Group has been at the center of this resurgence, advising founders, shareholders, and institutional clients across complex M&A and capital markets transactions throughout 2026. The firm’s partner-led model, institutional-grade execution, and deep sector coverage have positioned it as a trusted advisor in a market environment where preparation, precision, and process integrity are more important than ever.

“The middle market has consistently demonstrated its ability to perform across cycles, and 2026 is proving to be one of its strongest years in recent memory,” said David Chua, Managing Partner of Mergers & Acquisitions at Post Oak Group. “We are seeing renewed confidence from buyers, recalibrated expectations from sellers, and a meaningful expansion in transaction activity across nearly every sector we cover.”

“What makes this cycle different is the breadth of activity,” Chua added. “Founders are coming to market with stronger businesses, sponsors are deploying capital with greater discipline, and strategic acquirers are returning in force. The middle market is where most of the meaningful dealmaking is happening right now, and we expect that momentum to continue through the back half of the year.”

 

About Post Oak Group

The Post Oak Group is a prominent middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas. As the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, the firm advises founders, shareholders, and institutional investors across M&A advisory and capital markets transactions. With approximately 300 professionals, a leadership team representing more than 250 years of combined investment banking experience, and more than $82 billion in completed transactions across 12 countries, Post Oak Group combines institutional-quality execution with senior-led, partner-driven engagement across industrial services, healthcare, energy, business services, technology-enabled services, and consumer sectors.
