SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future

Published

Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.

The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.

In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.

The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.

AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.

Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.

AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.

Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.

On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.

Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and  IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.

As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AI​industry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.

The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.

What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

SAP Fioneer Launches Cloud Accounting Subledger to Simplify Multi-GAAP Accounting for Financial Institutions

Walldorf, Germany, July 30th, 2026, FinanceWire

SAP Fioneer, a leading provider of software solutions for financial services, today announced the launch of its Cloud Accounting Subledger (CAS), a cloud-based solution designed to help financial institutions manage complex accounting requirements and modernize finance operations. 

As financial institutions continue to advance their cloud transformation strategies, many finance organizations remain challenged by fragmented accounting landscapes and increasing regulatory complexity. Multiple accounting systems, disparate processes, and parallel reporting requirements across entities and accounting standards often result in significant reconciliation effort, limited transparency, and higher operational costs. 

“Financial institutions across North America have already made significant progress in cloud adoption, with the vast majority investing heavily in cloud-based architectures. At the same time, many core finance and accounting processes remain fragmented and difficult to modernize,” said Sascha Maric, Managing Director at SAP Fioneer USA. “With Cloud Accounting Subledger, we help institutions address this challenge by providing a unified foundation for managing complex, multi-GAAP accounting in the cloud.” 

SAP Fioneer’s Cloud Accounting Subledger enables financial institutions to manage accounting standards such as IFRS and US GAAP within a single, unified subledger. Purpose-built for AI and by consolidating accounting processes in one environment, the solution helps reduce reconciliation complexity while improving transparency, consistency and auditability across finance and reporting functions. 

Built for SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, Cloud Accounting Subledger applies a consistent, rule-based accounting approach across portfolios, products and legal entities. This creates a single source of truth for finance, risk and reporting, while enabling closer integration between accounting processes and core finance operations. 

“The launch of Cloud Accounting Subledger marks an important step in the continued expansion of SAP Fioneer’s public cloud portfolio for financial services,” said Frank Hammann, Co-CEO Finance at SAP Fioneer. “By bringing multi-GAAP accounting into a single, SAP-native environment, we help financial institutions to reduce operational complexity and establish a scalable foundation for modern finance operations.” 

About SAP Fioneer  

SAP Fioneer was launched in 2021 as a strategic partnership between entrepreneurial investor Dediq and global technology leader SAP SE to become the leading international digital transformation partner and provider of software solutions and platforms to the financial services industry. With a broad ecosystem of partners, over 1,200 financial services customers and more than 1,500 employees, SAP Fioneer is a global business present in 17 countries across Europe, North and Latin America, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Mercury Publishes Global Cold Chain Logistics Performance Benchmarks

Mercury publishes global cold chain logistics performance benchmarks for healthcare and life sciences shippers, covering transit times, reach, and reliability.

Boston, MA, 30th Jul 2026 – Mercury Business Services, a specialty logistics provider serving the healthcare and life sciences sector since 1984, today released performance benchmarks from its cold chain and parcel operations, reporting a 99.6% success rate on temperature-controlled shipments and a median cold chain transit time of 2.77 days.

The company also reported that customers using the Mercury Portal — its booking, tracking, and proactive monitoring platform — experienced a 39.7% reduction in parcel incidents compared to shipments managed outside the platform.

For laboratories, clinical trial sponsors, and diagnostics companies, a single compromised shipment can mean lost patient samples, delayed study timelines, and irreplaceable research material. Biological specimens, cell and gene therapy products, and diagnostic kits often have narrow stability windows and no second chance at collection.

Benchmark Highlights

  • 99.6% successful cold chain shipments
  • 2.77 days median cold chain transit time
  • 39.7% reduction in parcel incidents for Mercury Portal users
  • 236+ countries and territories served
  • 1,500+ customers served since 2020
  • 40+ years of continuous operation

Mercury attributes the results to a combination of proactive shipment monitoring, healthcare-specific customs brokerage that anticipates country-level documentation requirements before goods move, and 24/7 support teams assigned to individual accounts.

The company’s services span specialty cold chain, discounted parcel, same-day and onboard courier, next flight out, air freight and charter, GMP warehousing and controlled room temperature storage, and customs brokerage. Mercury supports biological specimens, clinical trial materials, pre-clinical research, diagnostic testing kits, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and regulated documents and records.

About Mercury Business Services

Founded in 1984, Mercury is a logistics provider built specifically for healthcare and life sciences shippers. Mercury delivers hundreds of thousands of shipments each year across 236+ countries and territories, combining a proprietary shipment management portal with dedicated client support teams.

Glasgow Law Firm Reports Increase in Divorce and Separation Enquiries

Published

14 hours ago

on

July 30, 2026

By

Simplicity Legal has recorded a rise in divorce and separation enquiries in the weeks since Scotland supporters returned from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The increase is based on the firm’s own enquiry data, and the firm notes that most enquiries do not lead to divorce proceedings.

Glasgow, United Kingdom, 30th Jul 2026 – Simplicity Legal, a law firm based in Glasgow, has recorded an increase in divorce and separation enquiries during July 2026. The increase is based on the firm’s own enquiry data and is measured against the enquiry levels the firm would normally expect at this time of year. The firm has not identified a single cause for the rise, and notes that enquiry volumes fluctuate throughout the year.

The period covered by the data follows the return of Scotland supporters from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Scotland qualified for the tournament for the first time since 1998. The team played two of its three group matches at Gillette Stadium near Boston, and a third-place finish in Group C was not enough to reach the knockout rounds. Thousands of Scotland supporters travelled to the United States for the group stage in June.

Billy Smith, director at Simplicity Legal, said: “Our enquiry data shows a clear increase in divorce and separation enquiries in recent weeks compared with what we would normally expect during the summer. We are not in a position to attribute the increase to any single cause. Family law firms are used to enquiry levels changing through the year, and January, following the Christmas period, is the best-known example of a seasonal rise.”

He added: “It is worth saying clearly that an enquiry is not a divorce. Most people who contact us at this stage are simply looking for information, and a great many of them never take matters any further. Our advice is always the same. Talk to each other first, and if you want to understand where you stand, seek advice before making any decisions. In Scotland, the rules on finances, property and cohabitation are not always what people assume, and good advice early on saves a great deal of stress later.”

Simplicity Legal offers an initial consultation for anyone seeking advice on separation, divorce or other family law matters. The firm does not provide legal aid.
