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

Published

on

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.

Wellows Publishes AI Citation Study Based on 9,471 Prompts

Published

October 9, 2026

By

Wellows has published a new research study examining AI citation patterns across 9,471 prompts. The study analyzed 382,176 AI answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. Sites cited often on other topics also tended to receive more citations on separate prompts on all five engines, and ChatGPT showed the weakest topic coverage signal.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9th Oct 2026 – Wellows has published a new study examining AI citation patterns across 9,471 English-language prompts and 151 topics. The research found that websites cited often on other topics also tended to receive more citations on separate prompts within the topics tested.

 

Citation reach, a site’s citation frequency on prompts about other topics, had the strongest association with held-out citations on all five engines, with correlations from 0.29 on Perplexity and ChatGPT to 0.37 on Gemini. Reach was more closely associated with held-out citations than topic coverage on Gemini (0.37 against 0.20) and ChatGPT (0.29 against 0.13).

Citation coverage inside a topic was also associated with held-out citations. On four of five engines, it tracked held-out citations more closely than a stored 0 to 100 domain authority score, with the widest gap on Perplexity (0.25 against 0.15). On Gemini, the two were level, at 0.20 and 0.21.

ChatGPT showed the weakest coverage signal. Among sites with similar reach, the coverage correlation was 0.043 on ChatGPT and 0.208 on Google AI Overviews.

“A site an engine cites on one topic is more likely to be cited on the next prompt,” said Khadija Zaman, AI Search Manager at Wellows and author of the study. “That is an association in our data, not a recipe. We did not test whether publishing more changes it, and we say so in the report.”

For the study, Wellows collected 382,176 AI answers to the 9,471 prompts from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode between January and June 2026. Within each topic, researchers split the prompts into two sets, measured which of the 92,112 websites were cited in one set, and tested whether that pattern carried over to the held-out set. The study is observational, and it does not show that publishing more pages, PR, or link building earns citations.

The full method, charts, and data are available in the Wellows study on topical authority and AI citations.

Miami, Florida, October 9th, 2026, FinanceWire

Delivery of thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery  in October are expected to expand annual capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons of magnets as EM&T scales its non-China feedstock position to meet strong customer demand

Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, today raised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $10 million to $11 million, up from the previous range of $5 million to $8 million announced on September 10, 2026. The increase represents a 62% raise at the midpoint, delivered less than one month after the Company issued its initial outlook. EM&T also reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million to $460 million.

Guidance Highlights

Fiscal 2026 revenue guidance raised to $10 million–$11 million (up from $5 million–$8 million); representing a 62% increase at the midpoint ($10.5 million vs. prior $6.5 million)

  • Low end of the fiscal 2026 range doubled, from $5 million to $10 million
  • Fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million–$460 million reaffirmed; the $430 million midpoint represents approximately 41 times the raised fiscal 2026 midpoint 
  • Thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery in Pohang, Republic of Korea 
  • Annual magnet production capacity expected to exceed 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets
  • December 17, 2026 showcase of what EM&T believes is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China

The raised guidance is driven by EM&T’s expanded ex-China rare earth feedstock position and the production capacity it unlocks, as well as improved rare earth pricing and continued strong commercial demand. The Company is actively scaling operations to meet this demand.  In Pohang, thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines are scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery. Once operational, these machines are expected to expand annual rare earth magnet production capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets.

“The raised guidance reflects strong customer demand, improved rare earth pricing, and our ability to source rare earth materials that bring our additional production capacity online this year,” said Frank Moon, Chief Executive Officer of EM&T. “Our fiscal 2027 outlook is unchanged, and the operational priorities behind it remain clear: commission additional equipment, bring expanded power and facility capacity online, secure rare earth materials for higher production volumes, complete additional customer qualifications and convert demand into expanded magnet shipments. We will keep the market updated as we continue to execute at warp speed. We look forward to showcasing what we believe is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China, on December 17, 2026. We have already received attendance confirmations from industry leaders and executives, government officials, trade partners, investors, banking research teams and, of course, our entire board, which includes veterans of senior U.S. government leadership.”

“Non-China rare earth magnet supply remains a strategic priority of U.S. national security and industrial policy decisions,” said Andrew Knaggs, President of EM&T. “DFARS 252.225-7052 is expected to extend the mine-to-magnet restriction across the entire supply chain for neodymium-iron-boron magnets beginning January 1, 2027, and the July 2026 Executive Order substantially tightened the conditions for waivers and directed faster qualification of compliant sources. EM&T’s manufacturing platform, non-China sourced rare earth materials and production expansion are built to meet those needs at commercial scale, while continuing to serve our established, revenue-generating global customer base.”

Makeover Group Launches to Help Founders in Italy Build Businesses That Run Without Them

Published

October 9, 2026

By

Italy, 9th Oct 2026 – The Makeover Group steps out as an operator-led holding company helping founders in Italy build businesses that run without them. Headquartered in Florence, the group builds, operates, and grows businesses across finance, property, blue collar trades, and business transformation in Italy.

Founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, the group addresses a core issue for entrepreneurs. Most businesses face founder dependency. The Makeover Group replaces this dependency with systems and shared infrastructure. Establishing the financial control, operations, and growth systems for founders allows a business to scale or be sold without relying on one person.

The group runs three operating companies across four verticals. TMG Books serves as an English-speaking accountant in Italy and an English-speaking commercialista. It provides expat accounting in Italy and Partita IVA setup for founders. BM Real Estate handles property management in Tuscany. Casa Bada Tuscany manages villa rentals, events, and destination weddings. The group also provides consulting to help owners build a business that runs without them.

The firm operates real businesses with real clients and payroll. It is not an advisory firm that consults from the sidelines. Everything it recommends it has run itself first. The group has helped a Tuscan food producer structure their business with clear financials and branding. It also hired more than 100 electricians in under eight weeks for a large data centre contractor.

“Most founders think they have a growth problem. What they actually have is a founder dependency problem. When you put in the systems and the financial clarity that let a business run without you, everything changes. That is the work we do,” said Alessandro Badalamenti.

About The Makeover Group: 

The Makeover Group is an operator-led holding company based in Florence, Italy. The group replaces founder dependency with systems so businesses can run independently. It was founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, an operator who has built and run businesses across Florence, Sydney, and Seattle.
