RLTR's "RI" Unshackled from Tariffs and Chip Wars, Widening Its Lead Over Traditional AI
RI's decentralized, chip-agnostic architecture frees it from global supply chain disruptions-delivering faster, smarter intelligence without the hardware bottlenecks plaguing traditional AI.
BOTHELL, WASHINGTON / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2025 / ReelTime (OTCPINK:RLTR) Following last week's major announcement that RI has released music generation as a standard feature to the public today announced that its next-generation intelligent system, Reel Intelligence ("RI"), is completely unaffected by international tariffs, semiconductor shortages, or chip-centric supply disruptions, further cementing its superiority over conventional AI systems reliant on expensive, infrastructure-heavy architecture.
Unlike traditional AI platforms that depend on centralized server farms, custom chips, and specialized hardware, many of which are now subject to volatile trade environments and mounting geopolitical tensions, RI was designed from the ground up with a lightweight, decentralized integration architecture. It leverages existing distributed resources and requires no proprietary hardware, positioning ReelTime as a clear outlier in resilience and scalability.
"RI is not just smarter and faster, it's untethered," said Barry Henthorn, CEO of ReelTime. "While others scramble to navigate tariffs and chip shortages, RI thrives without them. That's not by accident. It's the result of deliberate design to democratize advanced intelligence and ensure it can scale without borders, bottlenecks, or billion-dollar server farms."
RI's independence from chip supply chains and hardware tariffs represents a major strategic advantage in a landscape where AI competitors are facing slowed development cycles and rising infrastructure costs. As nations escalate export restrictions and retaliatory tariffs on AI-critical components, ReelTime's RI remains immune by design, gaining momentum while others stall.
RI's unique architecture enables it to:
Operate without reliance on GPU clusters or specialized semiconductors
Scale instantly using distributed and cloud-based resources
Bypass the economic drag created by tariffs and embargoes
Lower costs and reduce environmental impact through efficient deployment
This agility not only gives ReelTime's RI a cost and speed advantage but also accelerates adoption across industries, from content creation and customer service to autonomous decision-making, at a time when others are constrained by physical supply chains and manufacturing delays.
ReelTime recently made headlines for announcing that films and music created with RI are now eligible for major awards including the Oscars and Grammys. Today's news further solidifies RI's disruptive position, not just as a technological leap, but as a resilient, future-ready alternative to conventional AI.

MLS players' union says dispute over Club World Cup compensation is ongoing
Major League Soccer and its players' union remain at odds over compensation for the players with the three MLS teams taking part in the Club World Cup. The Seattle Sounders, LAFC and Inter Miami are the only MLS clubs among the 32 teams playing in the Club World Cup, which starts Saturday. Each team will earn $9.55 million as a club for participating in the tournament, with a chance to win additional prize money based on performance. The Major League Soccer Players Association said Sunday that the league issued a proposal Friday that did not include any additional participation bonuses for the players and offered 'below-standard' back-end compensation. The union also said the league asked for unrelated concessions to the collective bargaining agreement. Currently, there is a provision of the collective bargaining agreement that caps the amount of prize money that can go to players at $1 million. The MLSPA believes the players are entitled to a bigger share of the funds. 'The timing, substance and retaliatory nature of the proposal sends a clear message: MLS does not respect or value players' efforts with regard to this tournament,' the MLSPA said in statement Sunday. 'Although not surprised, the players and the MLSPA are deeply disappointed by this message.' Major League Soccer issued a statement Sunday to clarify its position. 'As the Seattle Sounders FC, Inter Miami CF, and the Los Angeles Football Club prepare to compete in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, Major League Soccer has agreed to voluntarily provide additional performance-based compensation to players from the three participating clubs,' the league said. 'MLS has proposed an enhanced structure for the Club World Cup to reward both participation and competitive achievement in the tournament. In addition to the guaranteed $1 million per team for qualifying, 20 percent of all prize money earned from the group stage onward would be allocated to players. If an MLS club wins the Club World Cup, its players could collectively receive more than $24 million in performance bonuses.' The statement went on to say that MLS owners believe that performance-based incentives are appropriate given the expanded format and increased prize pool for the tournament. 'The League values the continued dedication and commitment of its players and looks forward to supporting them as they represent their clubs -- and Major League Soccer -- on the global stage this summer.' The talks between the two sides were ongoing. Last weekend, the Seattle Sounders called attention to the issue by wearing T-shirts before a match that read 'Club World Cup Ca$h Grab.' On Sunday, a number of players posted the hashtag #FairShareNow, including Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei and LAFC center back Aaron Long. 'The players remain unified in using their collective voice and demanding a fair share of the rewards earned from their hard work,' the union said. The Club World Cup features an expanded field of club teams from around the globe and will be played across 11 U.S. cities. ___ AP soccer:

China's AI lab unveils RoboBrain 2.0 model to accelerate humanoid robot development
In a move that will further assert China's bid to scale robotics industry, the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI)—a not for profit research laboratory—unveiled last week a series of new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) models, dubbed RoboBrain 2.0, that will function as the 'brain' of robots. According to BAAI head Wang Zhongyuan, the use of powerful AI models in China's booming robotics market could accelerate the development and adoption of humanoids, as the sector works to overcome key challenges such as limited model capabilities and a lack of high-quality training data. Wang further explained that BAAI is actively seeking collaboration across the embodied intelligence industry, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts to accelerate progress. He noted that the institute is working with more than 20 leading companies in the sector and is looking to expand its network of partners to drive continued growth. Unveiled as part of China's broader push to advance intelligent machines, RoboBrain 2.0 was described by Wang as the world's most powerful open-source AI model designed to enhance a wide range of robots, including humanoids. Its debut positions BAAI as a potential key player in the evolving sector, the South China Morning Post reported. Furthermore, RoboBrain 2.0 introduces major improvements in spatial intelligence and task planning, delivering a 17% boost in speed and a 74% increase in accuracy compared to the previous version launched just three months earlier. With enhanced spatial intelligence, robots can now perceive distances from surrounding objects more precisely, while advanced task planning enables them to autonomously deconstruct complex activities into manageable steps, significantly improving overall performance. The RoboBrain model is part of the Wujie series, which also includes RoboOS 2.0—a cloud platform for deploying robotics AI models—and Emu3, a multimodal system capable of interpreting and generating text, images, and video. BAAI is one of China's early developers of open-source large language models, the technology behind generative AI chatbots. Several former employees have used their experience at BAAI to start their own AI companies, helping to grow the AI startup community in China. China's push to lead in robotics AI involves multiple players, with BAAI joined by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre, which earlier this year launched Hui Si Kai Wu—a general-purpose embodied AI platform. The center is also known for developing the Tien Kung humanoid robot, which made headlines after completing a half-marathon in Beijing in April. The Chinese institution aims to have its platform become the "Android of humanoid robots," serving as a standard operating system much like Google's Android does in the smartphone industry. Moreover, this year's edition of the BAAI Conference attracted over 100 AI researchers from around the world and more than 200 industry experts, including leaders from major Chinese tech companies such as Baidu, Huawei Technologies, and Tencent Holdings. Additionally, the Chinese academy also announced a strategic partnership with the Hong Kong Investment Corporation to collaborate on talent development, technology advancement, and capital investment aimed at fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in the country's AI sector.
