Verses' digital brain beats Google's top AI at 'Gameworld 10k' Atari challenge
In a head-to-head showdown, AXIOM outperformed DreamerV3 across ten diverse, arcade-style environments designed to test real-world generalization with minimal data
These results suggest that AXIOM could represent a paradigm shift in AI development—offering not only better performance but also dramatically lower computational and financial costs
Verses AI stock (CBOE:VERS) last traded at C$5.70
Cognitive computing company Verses AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) announced a major leap forward in artificial intelligence with the unveiling of its new digital brain architecture, codenamed AXIOM (Active eXpanding Inference with Object-centric Models). Based on the neuroscience-inspired principle of Active Inference, AXIOM has demonstrated performance that significantly surpasses Google DeepMind's DreamerV3—one of the most advanced AI models known for its generalization capabilities in simulated environments.
In a head-to-head showdown using the Gameworld 10K benchmark—a next-generation successor to the Atari 100K Challenge—AXIOM outperformed DreamerV3 across ten diverse, arcade-style environments designed to test real-world generalization with minimal data. AXIOM: Better, faster, cheaper (and smaller)
Verses' AXIOM not only delivered superior gameplay performance but did so with efficiency and simplicity. Unlike traditional AI models that rely on neural networks, backpropagation, and gradient descent, AXIOM uses a novel object-centric approach rooted in Active Inference. Performance highlights (AXIOM vs DreamerV3): 60 per cent better gameplay (Normalized Score: 77 vs 48)
7.6x more sample-efficient (3,175 steps vs 24,207)
39x faster GPU runtime (~10 minutes vs ~370 minutes)
12x cheaper to run (Estimated GPU cost: $0.66 vs $25.54)
400x smaller model size (0.95M vs 420M parameters)
These results suggest that AXIOM could represent a paradigm shift in AI development—offering not only better performance but also dramatically lower computational and financial costs. Independent validation
To ensure transparency and credibility, Verses submitted AXIOM's research paper, mathematical proofs, and source code for independent review to Soothsayer Analytics, a globally respected AI certification and advisory firm. Soothsayer is known for its rigorous standards and is trusted by Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies. Expert insights
Dr. David Bray, Ph.D, chair of the Accelerator and distinguished fellow, Stimson Centre; senior fellow with the Institute for Human-Machine Cognition as well as an expert with MIT Horizon, the Oxford Internet Institute, and Harvard's Leadership for a Networked World Program, caught early access to the paper.
'In many critical fields, there's an urgent need for models that are more reliable, less constrained by past training sets, and more adaptable to a changing world,' He said in a news release. 'Active Inference offers a more transparent, energy-efficient, and generalizable approach to intelligence—one that mirrors how humans learn, adapt, and simplify. The sample efficiency of AXIOM is particularly noteworthy, showing how it can generalize from fewer examples, much like human cognition, using far less computation. And by using Bayesian model reduction to prune complexity, this work captures a fundamental principle of intelligent behavior: simplify where possible, but not at the expense of understanding. This is the kind of intelligence we need for systems to thrive in complex, real-world environments across both public and private sectors.' Implications for the future of AI
If AXIOM's performance continues to hold across broader domains, it could redefine the foundations of artificial intelligence—moving away from data-hungry, compute-intensive models toward more biologically inspired, efficient systems. This could have far-reaching implications for industries ranging from robotics and autonomous systems to healthcare and smart infrastructure.
The Atari 100K Challenge, introduced in 2015, involves creating a single artificial intelligence model capable of being trained to meet or beat human-level performance on a pool of up to 26 classic Atari (OTC Pink:PONGF) video games. The AI model must learn directly from pixel data, using only the score as a reward signal. Verses' leadership will provide broader context around benchmarking and showcase early results in comparison with other AI models.
Specializing in biologically inspired distributed intelligence, Verses AI is focused on developing next-generation artificial intelligence solutions, including the Genius platform.

PowerBank (SUUN) Begins Installation of First Battery Energy Storage System in Ontario
TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ - PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: 103), a leading North American energy infrastructure developer and asset owner, proudly announces the installation of its cutting-edge 4.99 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Cramahe, Ontario, at the project known as SFF-06. This milestone marks PowerBank's bold entry into the rapidly growing battery storage market. The first five of nine EVLO Battery Containers are now on-site, supporting progress toward a sustainable energy future. Strategic Financing, Acquisition, and Market Opportunity. The SFF-06 project, alongside a second initiative (903), is backed by a robust $25.8 million loan from Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), serving as Lender, Administrative and Collateral Agent, and Green Loan Structuring Agent. This financial partnership underscores PowerBank's commitment to innovative, eco-conscious energy solutions. SFF-06 is owned by 1000234763 Ontario Inc. (ProjectCo), in which PowerBank holds a 50% stake, with the remaining 50% owned by a partnership of First Nations communities in Ontario. Acquired through PowerBank's $45 million valued acquisition of Solar Flow-Through Funds Ltd. in July 2024, this project positions the company in a battery storage market projected to increase to $31.2 billion by 2029, growing at a 16.3% CAGR, according to Fortune Business Insights. Expert Partnership. PowerBank has tapped Anvil Crawler Development Corp., part of the esteemed Skyline Group of Companies, to handle civil and electrical work. With a $1.85 million contract, Anvil Crawler brings its expertise to ensure seamless project execution. Long-Term Value with IESO Contract. In July 2023, SFF-06 secured a 22-year contract through the Independent Electricity System Operator's (IESO) Expedited Long-Term RFP (E-LT1 RFP). With a fixed capacity payment of $1,221/MW per business day—well above the $876/MW average for storage projects—this contract ensures strong financial returns. Once operational, SFF-06 will deliver 4.74 MW of daily contract capacity for 251 business days annually, powering Ontario's grid with reliable, clean energy. Clean Tech Incentives. The project qualifies for the 2024 Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit, offering up to 30% reimbursement of eligible capital costs. This refundable credit enhances SFF-06's financial performance while aligning with PowerBank's mission to accelerate renewable energy adoption through strategic government incentives. PowerBank's SFF-06 project is a significant development for Ontario's energy landscape, blending cutting-edge technology, strategic partnerships, and sustainable investment to drive the clean energy revolution forward. Project Risks. There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company, the risks associated with the construction of a battery energy storage project and the degradation of battery storage capacity over time based on the number of discharge cycles. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for battery energy storage, which could result in future projects no longer being economic. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the projects and statements made in this press release. As previously disclosed, the 903 project remains in the permitting process and commencement of construction remains subject to the receipt of final permits. In particular, in order to proceed with construction of the 903 project an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment (" OPA/ZBA") are required from the Town of Armour, Ontario. On November 8, 2022 the ProjectCo -1000234763 Ontario Inc received a Municipal Support Resolution, which was unanimously approved by the council for the Town of Armour. However, the OPA/ZBA have been delayed as a result of certain public opposition and the council's evaluation of how to respond to such opposition. A delay in obtaining the necessary OPA/ZBA means that ProjectCo may not be able to commence construction on the originally planned timeline and delaying construction means that achieving commercial operation on or before April 2026 will be delayed. In order to extend the deadline for commercial operation under the E-LT1 contract for the project, ProjectCo has sent the IESO a notice of potential force majeure event to the OPA/ZBA delay. The timing of the issuance of the OPA/ZBA and its impact on project schedule remains uncertain. The permitting delays have delayed certain payments due to Evlo for the battery energy storage system for the 903 project and OZ-1 project (which is also undergoing permitting). Evlo and the Company are negotiating an accommodation on the payment deadlines, but there is no certainty on the outcome of such negotiations. About PowerBank Corporation PowerBank Corporation is an independent renewable and clean energy project developer and owner focusing on distributed and community solar projects in Canada and the USA.

(the " Company" or " DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, " Valour"), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (" ETPs") reported assets under management ("AUM") of US$947 million (C$1.3 billion) as of July 31, 2025. This reflects a 23% increase month-over-month, driven by rising digital asset prices and continued net inflows into Valour's ETPs. Valour recorded US$14.4 million (C$19.9 million) in net inflows for July, marking its second strongest month year-to-date. Net Inflows and Investor Confidence In July, Valour recorded its second strongest month of the year in net inflows of US$14.4 million (C$19.9 million), continuing its trend of consistent monthly inflows regardless of market conditions. Year-to-date, total net inflows have reached US$90.4 million (C$125.4 million), highlighting accelerating investor demand for Valour's ETPs. This sustained momentum reflects growing investor confidence and reinforces the appeal of Valour's diverse product lineup. Key Products Driving Inflows A combination of established and newer ETP listings, including SOL, DOGE and SUI, drove the exceptional performance. Key contributors include: These inflows highlight Valour's leadership in providing access to diverse digital assets. Valour's Top ETPs by AUM Valour monetizes its AUM primarily through staking and management fees. Valour retains staking yields as revenue, capturing value directly from the underlying digital assets held in its ETPs, in addition to management fees. In Q1 2025, Valour generated staking and lending income of US$10.0 million (C$14.0 million) and management fees of US$2.6 million (C$3.6 million), demonstrating the strength of its vertically integrated model and its ability to generate recurring, protocol-driven revenue from its growing AUM base. As of July 31, 2025, Valour's ETPs with the highest levels of AUM were as follows: Valour's Global Expansion and Strategic Market Development Valour continues to expand its global footprint as a leader in regulated digital asset products. With over 75 ETPs currently listed across European and UK exchanges, the Company remains on track to reach 100 listed products by the end of 2025. Upcoming launches include leveraged and warrant-based structures, further broadening investor access. In parallel, Valour continues to advance its strategy of entering high-growth emerging markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond—securing a first-mover advantage in key jurisdictions. This proactive expansion reinforces Valour's long-term commitment to accelerating global adoption of regulated digital asset investment products. Strong Financial Position As of July 31, 2025, the Company maintained a strong financial position: Cash and USDT Balance: Approximately US$17 million (C$23.4 million). Loans Payable: Approximately C$8.6 million (US$6 million), unchanged from the previous month, primarily attributed to the ongoing Genesis restructuring Digital Asset Treasury In July, the Company rebalanced its treasury to increase allocations to BTC, SOL, and CORE. As of month-end, the portfolio was valued at approximately US$73.5 million (C$101.2 million). The Company may rebalance or expand its treasury at any time, leveraging its available US$90.5 million (C$124.6 million) in cash, USDT, and other treasury assets. Stillman Digital Update Trading Volume: Approximately US$1.95 billion in trades processed. The company announced a strategic partnership with Ozean, a blockchain protocol for Real-World Assets (RWAs) launched by Clearpool. The collaboration is focused on onboarding institutional capital into the RWA space, further solidifying Stillman's position as a key infrastructure partner in the evolving digital asset landscape. Operationally, Stillman Digital continues to: Improve internal trading systems with a focus on latency reduction, order execution optimization, and risk controls; Onboard new institutional client accounts, expanding its counterparty network across hedge funds, family offices, exchanges, and crypto-native companies; Diversify liquidity strategies across trading venues; Expand cross-border operations as regulatory clarity around digital assets evolves in key jurisdictions. DeFi Alpha Strategy The Company continues to assess and execute on arbitrage opportunities through its specialized trading desk, DeFi Alpha. Since its launch in Q2 2024, DeFi Alpha has generated a total of C$155.9 million (US$114.1 million) in revenue, including a one-time arbitrage trade announced on May 5, 2025, that delivered a return of C$23.8 million (US$17.3 million), incorporating a non-cash DLOM valuation adjustment. This strategy has significantly strengthened the Company's financial position, enabling debt repayment and supporting the ongoing expansion of its digital asset treasury. 2025 Financial Outlook: DeFi Technologies' fiscal 2025 revenue forecast of approximately C$285.6 million (US$201.07 million) excludes any decrease or recovery of discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") applied to two private investment funds through which the Company gained exposure to locked Solana and Avalanche tokens ("Locked Tokens"). In fiscal 2024, the Locked Tokens were acquired with a DLOM applied to their fair market value, reflecting their restricted status until 2028. As these tokens unlock, reductions in the DLOM are recognized as revenue; however, given that these adjustments are non-operational in nature, they are excluded from the Company's fiscal 2025 revenue guidance. Q2 2025 Financials The Company will release its Q2 2025 financial results after market close on Thursday, August 14, 2025. Additional details regarding a shareholder call will be announced in the coming days. Recent Strategic Developments from July include: Valour launched eight new SEK-denominated exchange traded products (ETPs) on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market, including products for Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Unus Sed Leo (LEO), OKB, Polygon (POL), Algorand (ALGO), Filecoin (FIL), Arbitrum (ARB), and Stacks (STX). With these additions, Valour surpassed 75 listed ETPs, further expanding its Nordic footprint and strengthening its position as one of the most comprehensive digital asset ETP issuers in the world. Valour entered the Swiss market with the launch of two new staking ETPs—1Valour Hedera (HBAR) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP)—on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The listings marked Valour's first products on Switzerland's primary stock exchange and expanded its regulated product suite to over 75 ETPs across Europe. Both products offered investors secure, transparent access to native staking yields through traditional brokerage accounts. The company remained on track to reach 100 listed ETPs by the end of 2025. DeFi Technologies to Manage Nuvve's HYPE Treasury Strategy Through Newly Launched DeFi Advisory Business Line DeFi Technologies launched its DeFi Advisory business line to provide institutional-grade digital asset treasury solutions for public companies. Its first mandate was with Nuvve Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: NVVE), which appointed DeFi Technologies to manage its HYPE token treasury strategy.
