  • MIL-OSI: CarGurus Report Shows Automotive Affordability Continues to Drive the Market

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    With tariffs going into effect, report uncovers trends in new car supply, consumer demand, and pricing—plus opportunities where shoppers can still find savings

    BOSTON, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CarGurus (Nasdaq: CARG), the No. 1 visited digital auto platform for shopping, buying, and selling new and used vehicles1, today released its Quarterly Review for Q1 2025. The report provides a view into the key trends influencing pricing, inventory, and demand for new and used vehicles so far this year, along with factors that could impact the road ahead.

    “It’s no secret that the first quarter has been dominated by tariff news,” said Kevin Roberts, Director of Economic and Market Intelligence at CarGurus. “Steady consumer purchase patterns for most of the first quarter suggest a market that was in wait-and-see mode. But a shift in urgency has taken hold as impending tariffs on auto imports—which account for nearly half of new listings—start to take effect, influencing an uptick in activity on dealer lots and new car sales in recent days.”

    New car pricing continues to be one of the most pressing challenges for the market, with vehicles under $30,000 accounting for 13% of inventory, a sharp contrast to 37% in Q1 2020. With tariffs, affordable new vehicles may become harder to find as the average list price could increase by over $3,300 to approximately $52,800. According to a CarGurus analysis of current tariff policies, the share of listings priced under $30,000 could decline by 42%, while those above $50,000 would increase by 15%.

    Other key themes from Q1 2025 include: 

    • Tariffs trigger a late-month surge: Days to Turn during Q1 remained stable with little variation across countries of origin, showing earlier tariff speculation didn’t translate to increased urgency. But, a late-month shift took hold after the tariff news broke on March 26th, pushing estimated new car retail sales up by nearly 30% month-over-month. A focus on value and practicality drove import demand throughout the quarter, with imported models in lowest supply being compacts and fuel-efficient options mostly priced under $40,000. CarGurus analysis shows the most popular imported models with the lowest inventory include nameplates like Toyota’s RAV4 and Tacoma; Honda’s Civic and CR-V; and Subaru’s Crosstrek and Forester.
    • The used market has more options, but not without trade-offs: The used market offers shoppers some relief from tariff-related increases, but value for the money in this segment is also shifting. While used car inventory is up, buyers seeking affordability face a selection with older vehicles and higher mileage. In Q1 2020, a budget of $15,000 to $20,000 would afford an approximately four-year-old model with 47,000 miles, while today that translates to a nearly seven-year-old car with 73,000 miles. Further, CarGurus analysis shows that almost two-thirds of used sales (64%) in Q1 2020 were under $20,000, while that share dropped to 43% in Q1 2025.
    • Used electric vehicles (EVs) present a bright spot in the affordability story: The used EV market is steadily gaining ground as selection rises and prices stabilize to an average of about $36,000. With affordability taking center stage, the category is emerging as a practical, low-mileage alternative. The under-$25,000 market especially shines as used EVs turned faster than comparably priced internal combustion engine models. Used models like the Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Bolt have averaged under $17,000 in Q1 2025 (with mileage under 32,000), standing out in a market driven by value and affordability.

    CarGurus also shared tips for shoppers navigating the market today:

    • Stay informed on price trends: Platforms like CarGurus, which provides unbiased deal ratings on the largest selection of new and used vehicles in the U.S.2, are a powerful resource to compare prices and track inventory. Used car shoppers can also turn to CarGurus’ Price Trends tool to research and track model trends.
    • Understand buying power early in the process: Many sites, including CarGurus, enable shoppers to get pre-qualified for financing from the comfort of home, letting them browse listings with real interest rates in hand and filter options by estimated monthly payment.
    • Consider a wider search radius: For those with a specific model in mind, there may be a benefit in searching broadly to get the best price since local market demand can also impact car values. Using online search tools, shoppers can view pricing across regions and consider how delivery costs factor into getting the best deal.

Additionally, more than forty digital signs will be set up across key corridors to guide drivers to open spots. The university is also leveraging eleven-x’s real-time parking navigation app, eXactav™, to efficiently direct drivers to available parking. Clemson will integrate eXactpark with the university’s TigersCommute app in order to share the live parking insights.

    “We are excited and proud to help Clemson University realize its vision of creating the best parking experience for its community through accurate, true occupancy data,” said Dan Mathers, CEO, eleven-x, “Furthermore, this ambitious installation will demonstrate to other institutions how smart parking technology can positively transform parking operations.”

Accurate data aggregation allows for improved policies and smarter future planning. Furthermore, the university can leverage actionable analytics to streamline operations by optimizing resources and improving parking management.

  • MIL-OSI: John Snow Labs Releases Generative AI Lab 7.0 to Help Domain Experts Evaluate and Improve LLM Applications and Conduct HCC Coding Reviews

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LEWES, Del., April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — John Snow Labs, the AI for healthcare company, today announced the release of Generative AI Lab 7.0. The update enables domain experts, such as doctors or lawyers, to evaluate and improve custom-built large language models (LLMs) with precision and transparency. New capabilities include no-code features to streamline the process of auditing and tuning AI models.

    While the Generative AI Lab already exists as a tool for testing, tuning, and deploying state-of-the-art (SOTA) language models, this upgrade enhances the quality of evaluation workflows. With the ability to compare LLM outputs side-by-side, annotate specific text spans, apply structured scoring, and export results, domain experts can quickly and easily train or fine-tune LLMs downstream.

    Key features of the release include:

    • Customizable project templates for LLM output evaluation with support for HTML content, including hyperlinks to references. Two modes are supported: individual and side-by-side response evaluation. Inter-Annotator Agreement (IAA) charts are also available for those projects.
    • Support for Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding enables users to streamline clinical risk adjustment workflows by automatically linking International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to HCC categories, prioritizing high-value tasks, and validating codes more efficiently.
    • Comprehensive and configurable framework for evaluating AI models across dimensions like accuracy, bias, robustness, fairness, and performance—enabling users to identify model weaknesses, improve reliability, and streamline iterative model enhancement through automated test management, visual insights, and data augmentation capabilities.

    Domain experts are often best positioned to develop AI-driven solutions tailored to their specific business needs. However, limited technical skills and resources can pose significant barriers to the adoption of AI solutions. The Generative AI Lab addresses this challenge by providing a user-friendly, no-code platform that empowers teams to build reliable models, identify potential failures, evaluate output quality, and responsibly integrate AI into essential workflows.

    “Evaluating custom-built AI models and LLMs for specific use cases is complex and goes beyond relying solely on public benchmarks. Determining their efficacy, safety, and value requires targeted, context-aware testing to ensure models perform reliably in real-world applications,” said David Talby, CEO, John Snow Labs. “With the new structured evaluations and detailed feedback included in the Generative AI Lab, domain experts can improve model quality, reduce errors, and accelerate safe, scalable AI deployments without the support of a data scientist.”

    The course meets training requirements in all 50 states and aligns with the January 20 and 21, 2025 executive orders relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the Administration’s policy on sex and gender.

    Additionally, new country-specific versions align with regional laws and regulations in Australia, Canada, India and the UK, alongside a global version covering relevant laws across 40 countries. These international courses feature localized actors and scenarios, creating a more immersive and relatable learning experience tailored to diverse workplace environments.

    “Across industries and geographies, every employee plays a vital role in creating a workplace free from harassment,” said Mike Dahir, CEO of Traliant. “Workplace training that is tailored to the unique scenarios they see daily equips employees with the knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively intervene and support those in need, fostering a safer environment for both them and their colleagues.”

    As part of its commitment to workplace safety, Traliant also introduced an updated Bystander Intervention course designed to help build a speak-up culture and equip employees with practical intervention skills. Featuring real-world, unscripted interviews, the course ensures learning is relatable, engaging and impactful.

  • MIL-OSI: Hola Prime Launches Industry-First One-on-One Mentorship from Market Experts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, NY, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The trading industry has long suffered from a gap in structured, personalized education. While information is widely available, traders are often left in a sea of fragmented resources, outdated strategies, and generic advice that fails to address the realities of live market conditions. Without direct feedback, many struggle with risk management, execution, and psychological barriers, leading to repeated failures in trading challenges and inconsistent performance. Hola Prime is taking a significant step by offering a level of personalized guidance that is virtually unheard of in the industry – one-on-one mentorship with seasoned trading professionals.

    For the first time, traders will have direct access to some of the most experienced minds in the financial markets. This initiative is not about passive learning; it is about real-time assessment, expert feedback, and actionable improvement strategies tailored to each trader’s needs. Over 85% of traders report improved confidence and decision-making abilities after personalized mentorship. One-on-one mentorship provides traders with an opportunity to analyze their trades with professionals, identify weaknesses in their strategy, and develop a structured, data-driven approach to the markets. Whether it is understanding why a challenge was failed, adjusting risk parameters, or refining execution tactics, these sessions offer an unprecedented level of support.

    Unlike generic trading courses or group webinars, these sessions are fully tailored to the individual trader. There is no other firm in the industry offering this level of direct, personal engagement with professional traders.

    The initiative is backed by a panel of 20 elite trading professionals, each with decades of experience across multiple asset classes. Howard Friend, with over 30 years in financial markets, specializes in FX market trap trading and algorithmic strategies. Jannie Barwise, an expert in CFDs and futures, provides deep insights into asymmetric trading and volatility adaptation. Sam Saleh, a former institutional trader, shares his expertise in S&P 500 futures and order flow execution. Igor Milosevic, a quantitative strategist and PhD in machine learning, helps traders integrate algorithmic techniques into their trading systems. Michael Keller, a Forex day trading expert, guides traders in disciplined execution and structured risk management. Walter Anga, a gold and crypto trading specialist, teaches systematic, non-discretionary approaches to high-volatility markets. Richard Krugel, a recognized authority in Nasdaq and crude oil trading, helps traders refine technical analysis and market timing strategies.

    Beyond mentorship, Hola Prime is also enhancing its educational offerings through live trading sessions and in-depth trading courses, focusing on real-market conditions and execution. Additionally, traders gain access to execution reports that provide full transparency on market conditions, including spreads, liquidity flows, and order execution dynamics. This ecosystem of education, mentorship, and live market insights represents a fundamental shift in how trading knowledge is delivered and applied.

    Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime, emphasized the firm’s commitment to bridging the knowledge gap in trading education: “Financial literacy extends beyond theoretical learning – it requires real-world application. Traders need structured guidance from professionals who have gained success in the markets, and we are committed to providing that through direct, hands-on mentorship.”

    Himanshu Chandel, Marketing Director at Hola Prime, highlighted the industry-first nature of this initiative: “No one in the trading industry is offering this level of personalized mentorship. Traders don’t just need information; they need precise, expert-led feedback on their trading decisions.”

    To mark Financial Literacy Month, Hola Prime is offering a 25% discount on $10K to $100K accounts.. Traders interested in personalized coaching can book sessions through Discord or the Hola Prime website. Given the exclusive nature of these sessions, early booking is advised as availability is limited.

    This news release contains “forward-looking information” (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws) and “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such statements or information are identified with words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “potential”, “estimate”, “propose”, “project”, “outlook”, “foresee” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding any potential outcome. Such statements include the Company’s expectations with respect to the success of the Company’s product development efforts, the performance of its products, operations, meeting revenue targets, and the expectation of continued success in the financing efforts, the capability, functionality, performance and cost of the Company’s technology as well as the market acceptance, inclusion and timing of the Company’s technology in current and future products and expectations regarding its successful development of high speed transceiver solutions and its penetration of the Artificial Intelligence hardware markets.

Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the completion of its development efforts with its customers, the ability to build working prototypes to the customer’s specifications, and the size, future growth and needs of Artificial Intelligence network suppliers. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the failure to produce optical engines on time and within budget, the failure of Artificial Intelligence networks to continue to grow as expected, the failure of the Company’s products to meet performance requirements for AI and datacom networks, operational risks in the completion of the Company’s projects, the ability of the Company to generate sales for its products, and the ability of its customers to deploy systems that incorporate the Company’s products. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in the Company’s securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

  • MIL-OSI: Cautious Optimism for Building Products Distribution Rising as Sustained Demand for New Residential Construction Expected

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – Global and north American building products distribution market has been steadily increasing in past years and is expected to continue for the years to come. A building product report said that: “Looking forward to 2025 and beyond, there is cautious optimism for the building products sector following a year of foundational growth in 2024. The Federal Reserve has heeded data indicating lower inflation and a cooling labor market, opting to cut the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points in mid-September. This was the FOMC’s first decision to ease monetary policy in four years, which, overlaid with market expectations for an additional 50 basis points of cuts by year-end 2024, has improved the outlook for construction spending and activity in both residential and non-residential markets moving forward.” It continued saying that; “The building products distribution market in North America and Europe is massive, topping $800 billion, and is expected to grow 5-9% through 2031, driven by private and public investment and economic growth. The building materials distribution market in North America and Europe is a massive market, topping $800 billion.”  Active companies active in the markets include: Capstone Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: CAPS), QXO, Inc. (NYSE: QXO), CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX), Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS), Titan America SA (NYSE: TTAM).

    The report added: “Through mid-October 2024, the residential building products market has been characterized by muted demand resulting in continued underperformance. The rapid rise in mortgage rates in 2022 and 2023 has created “gridlock” in the housing market – whereby existing homeowners, who would be sellers in a lower interest rate environment, have deferred transacting due to the historic differential between their existing mortgage rate (sub-4% for most), and current market rates (~6.5%). This “gridlock” has limited the supply of homes available-for-sale, keeping prices elevated. Record-high prices of homes available-for-sale, combined with higher mortgage rates, continues to put homeownership out of reach for many prospective first-time buyers, forcing them to remain on the sidelines until conditions improve. This has resulted in lower home sale activity, which has driven down renovation spending – much of which is performed in connection with the purchase or sale of a home. However, there is optimism on the horizon – September’s rate cut has the market on the precipice of a seismic shift, supported by structural long-term demand. As of the end of 2023, the shortage of single-family housing was estimated at more than 7.2 million units. With over 100 million individuals set to cross the median homebuying age of thirty-four by 2040, there is likely to be strong, sustained demand for new residential construction. “

    Capstone Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: CAPS) Targets $100M Run Rate Increases Q4 Revenue and Executes Strategic Brand Expansion – Revenue Up over 8% in Q4 Year-Over-Year – Toro Stone Launched in 6 New States – Capstone Holding Corp. (the “Company” or “Capstone”), a national building products distribution company that has successfully grown its business organically and through well-timed acquisitions, announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2024.

    Matt Lipman, CEO of Capstone, said, “I’m proud of the team’s execution and focus on growth in the second half of the year. As the parent company, our mission is clear: double the size of the business through targeted, strategic acquisitions – and we believe we’re well on our way. We remain focused on scaling efficiently.”

    The Company is targeting an operating company revenue run rate by the end of 2025 of $100 million and Adjusted Instone EBITDA of at least $10 million. (The $100 million revenue and $10 million Adjusted Instone EBITDA numbers are targets for 2025 that include anticipated acquisitions. As these targets are dependent on closing acquisitions during 2025, the Company is unable to include a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP results to the corresponding GAAP measures as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainties regarding the future identification and closing of acquisition targets.)

    Kevin Grotke, CEO of TotalStone, LLC (dba “Instone”), a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Capstone and its primary business activity, said, “I’m incredibly proud of our team’s execution and their sharp focus on customer acquisition and top-line growth. Their efforts have laid a strong foundation for continued success, and I’m excited to see the momentum carry into 2025 as we work toward achieving our ambitious goals – particularly the growth of our proprietary brands.”

    Capstone continues to position itself as a premier, national platform in the building products space. The Company is expanding its geographic footprint, strengthening its portfolio of proprietary brands, and delivering exceptional value to customers and stakeholders alike.

    FY 2024 Corporate and Operational Highlights – Set Acquisition Strategy for 2025:

    • Focused on Tuck-In Acquisitions, Sister Companies, and Platform Acquisitions
    • Deal environment and structures remain favorable
    • Acquisition multiples of 4-6x EBITDA
    • 20%- 45% of consideration as non-cash
    • Majority of activity centers around strategic Tuck-In Acquisitions to accelerate Instone’s earnings. Multiple sister company opportunities currently under review

  • MIL-OSI: DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. Partners with Fleet-Connection to Offer its Flexible Lease Alternative to Commercial Fleet Customers with its New “DriveItAway Business Preferred” Program

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Philadelphia, PA, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    – DriveItAway Expands its Market to Enable All the Ability to Drive, and Then Buy Quality Vehicles, with No Long-Term Financial Commitment or Credit Threshold with Its Flexible Lease Subscription Program Now Offered to Small Commercial Businesses by launching its new “DriveItAway Business Preferred Program”

    – To Promote DriveItAway Business Preferred, DriveItAway has Partnered with Fleet-Connection and its Founder Sherb Brown, Former President of Bobit Business Media and Group Publisher of Major Fleet Publications – Listen to DriveItAway’s CEO John F. Possumato and Fleet-Connection’s Sherb Brown discuss this new endeavor as part of Elena Ciccotelli’s “The EVs for Everyone Podcast” (Episode 157)

    – DriveItAway’s Business Preferred Program Will Cater to the Approximately 12-15 Million Small Locally-Owned Businesses that Have an Immediate Need for an SUV, Truck, or Van, But Do Not Want to Make a Long Term Financial Commitment for a Vehicle or a Fleet of Vehicles, or Lack the Cash or Credit for a Traditional Vehicle Finance or Lease

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA, April 2 2025 – DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. ( OTC Marketplace: DWAY) (“DriveItAway” and “Company”), an automotive industry leader in new digital mobility platforms with its unique “flexible-lease/subscription to purchase” technology, continues to gain traction and visibility in its mission to enable all to drive, and then buy, affordable quality personal transportation, announces today the expansion of its service to small commercial fleet businesses, who find it difficult to buy or lease vehicles through traditional channels, with its newly created “DriveItAway Business Preferred” Program.

    To jump-start this endeavor, DriveItAway is partnering with Sherb Brown, a long-time fleet industry veteran, and his company, Fleet-Connection, which maintains one of the most comprehensive database and marketing engine for the millions of small fleet owners, who are “under the radar” in comparison to large, traditional fleet operators. Brown is the former President of Bobit Business Media and was the Group Publisher of major fleet publications, including Heavy Duty Trucking and Work Truck, along with general commercial-focused Websites and live events.

    “A long time ago, I started in the automotive business on the fleet and small commercial side, first as a franchise dealer, and I then helped design and present the dealer-based small commercial fleet education and training programs for Ford, General Motors and Jaguar,” says John F. Possumato, Founder & CEO of DriveItAway, “then, as now, one of the stumbling blocks for a new or small local business in acquiring needed vehicles is the credit requirements from both manufacturer captive finance companies and banks, who usually require three years in business and a strong balance sheet, something that a lot of small businesses do not have, especially new ones. In addition, many small businesses have seasonal or contract work, which may require a work truck or van for just six months or a year, where a conventional purchase or lease just won’t work. Our DriveItAway ‘Business Preferred’ open-ended, no obligation flexible lease now offers the new perfect alternative.”

    “Right now smaller fleets have access to the right inventory of vehicles, trucks, or vans to fill all needs,” says Sherb Brown, CEO of Fleet-Connection, “but many times the optimal means to acquire these vehicles does not exist. In many cases these small businesses are shut out of traditional commercial financing or leasing due to credit or years in business requirements, or have seasonal or contract work, where owning or long-term leasing vehicles wouldn’t be the right decision.” continues Brown, “this is the niche that DriveItAway’s Business Preferred flexible lease alternative fits, and we are excited to work with John and his team to add some visibility to the program.”

    This latest expansion to open up a new market of small commercial (non-gig) fleet follows directly with DriveItAway’s 2025 goals as stated in the Company’s ‘Year End Message to Shareholders.’

    “In January, I said that in addition to expanding our business to include small commercial fleet sales, our two other Company goals for 2025 are to increase our own vehicle credit line, and to continue to make ‘strong and deep industry alliances.’ In February, we were fortunate enough to announce that we increased our line and that Menachem Light, a true industry icon, has agreed to Chair our newly created Board of Advisors,” continues Possumato, “now in pursuing our goal to expand our services to small commercial fleet customers, it is particularly rewarding to be working with Sherb Brown, as he and I have known each other now for over three decades. Automotive fleet has always fundamentally been a people business, and with Sherb, we are working with the best in fleet.”

    All are encouraged to visit with John F. Possumato at the automotive industry events where he is a featured speaker in April – the Auto Intel Summit in Cary, NC, on April 8th; the National Vehicle Leasing Association Annual Conference in Clearwater, FL, on April 10th; and the International Car Rental Show in Las Vegas, NV, on April 14th.

    About DriveItAway Holdings, Inc.
    DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. is the first national dealer-focused mobility platform that enables car dealers to sell more vehicles in a seamless way through eCommerce, with its exclusive flexible lease app-based subscription. DriveItAway provides a comprehensive, turn-key, solutions-driven program with proprietary mobile technology and driver app, insurance coverages, and training to get dealerships up and running quickly and profitably in emerging online sales opportunities, to gain sales and market share.

  • MIL-OSI: DMG Blockchain Solutions Announces Preliminary March Operational Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated blockchain and data center technology company, today announces its preliminary operational results for March 2025:

    • Bitcoin Mined: 32 BTC (vs 27 BTC in Feb 2025)
    • Hashrate: 1.82 EH/s (vs 1.71 EH/s in Feb 2025)
    • Bitcoin Holdings: 458 BTC (vs 443 BTC in Feb 2025)
    • Days non-firm power curtailed: 0 (vs 3 in Feb 2025)

    DMG’s expected growth to 2.1 EH/s has experienced a slight delay. Currently, the Company operates 2 megawatts of S21 Hydro and S21+ Hydro miners, achieving a total fleet hashrate of nearly 1.9 EH/s. The next 2 megawatts are expected to be deployed by mid-April, following a minor delay in S21+ Hydro miner shipments, with the remaining 2 megawatt capacity scheduled for deployment by the end of April to accommodate the replacement of defective mining infrastructure components.

    DMG’s CEO, Sheldon Bennett, commented, “Despite a several-week delay relative to our prior guidance in achieving our 2.1 EH/s hashrate goal, we are pleased with the performance of our hydro mining equipment and expect to complete this phase of expansion shortly. While we continue optimizing the growth and efficiency of our Bitcoin mining fleet, our primary focus remains on securing high-value AI offtake agreements and attracting new clients for Systemic Trust and Terra Pool to advance our carbon neutral Bitcoin ecosystem. We believe these investments will maximize long-term shareholder value as we execute our strategy.”

    Grant of Stock Options and RSUs

    DMG announces the granting of stock options and RSUs to employees and directors of the Company. A total of 428,170 stock options (“Options”) and 1,050,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been granted. The Options are exercisable over five years at a price of $0.24 per share, with vesting in 25% increments on the six-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month anniversaries of the grant date. The RSUs vest in one year; these grants are designed to create an incentive structure that aligns longer-term performance with the Company’s growth.

  • MIL-OSI: LVT Releases Industry-First Mobile Security Unit Talk Down Powered by Agentic AI and Other Features

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (ISC West Booth #29061), April 2, 2025: LVT (LiveView Technologies, Inc.), the leader of rapidly deployable security solutions, today announced multiple new capabilities powered by proprietary AI models that empower security teams to implement proactive, data-driven security strategies for 24/7 coverage in any environment. The capabilities, currently in beta, include industry-first agentic AI-powered personalized audio messages that automatically detect, validate, and deter by referencing identifiable features of an individual, a pan/tilt spotlight that intelligently points at a detection area, and an intuitive forensic search to find footage with simple keywords.

    “Everything we’ve built at LVT and the countless hours we’ve spent training our AI has led to this moment,” said Steve Lindsey, LVT CTO. “For the last 20 years, our mission has always been to help make communities safer and empower security personnel to secure any environment across every industry. LVT’s proprietary AI models deliver on this promise and offer first-of-their-kind features that will forever reshape how teams optimize their resources to proactively deter crime and save lives.”

    New LVT Unit features include:

    • Agentic AI-powered audio talk down uses situational context to issue a personalized audio message to potential bad actors, identifying the individual who triggered the alert by what they are wearing or holding. The lifelike audio comes in multiple voice options, and the fully automated capability minimizes the necessity of human intervention in order to detect, validate, and deter.
    • Intuitive forensic search in the LVT Platform allows personnel to find footage by searching with natural language, greatly accelerating the ability to analyze situations, gather evidence, and successfully prosecute.
    • Dynamic pan/tilt spotlight points at the detection area, providing greater visibility and drawing attention to where on-the-ground security personnel may need to respond. The optimal lighting also ensures the unit cameras capture the highest quality evidence of a situation while deterring bad actors from committing the crime.
    • Configurable strobe lights with settings for color, pattern, and intensity create distinct visual cues for security teams while enhancing the overall unit experience.

    “LVT’s AI features redefine what’s possible in mobile security, and our proprietary detection models will continue to evolve rapidly in the coming months,” said James Bangerter, LVT VP of Product Development. “Security teams can now access more advanced deterrence features that provide 24/7 coverage and keep personnel aware of risks or incidents so they can make informed and effective responses. Simply put, no other mobile security solution offers AI of this caliber.”

    ISC West attendees can visit LVT in booth #29061 to see these features and more in action, including SafeNow, a mobile-first experience currently in beta that allows customer employees to access LVT Unit features directly from their phones.
