Byte-Sized AI: Perfect Corp. and Nvidia Team Up; LuminX Gets Seed Round
Byte-Sized AI is a bi-weekly column that covers all things artificial intelligence—from startup funding, to newly inked partnerships, to just-launched, AI-powered capabilities from major retailers, software providers and supply chain players. AI platform LuminX announced early this month it had closed a $5.5 million seed round, supported by 1Sharpe, GTMFund, 9Yards, Chingona Ventures and the Bond Fund. More from Sourcing Journal Chain Reaction: Dispatch Science CEO Arthur Axelrad on Turning Logistics into a 'Customer Experience Engine' Inside VivaTech: LVMH Spotlights AI and Sustainability at Innovation Awards Study Finds Machine Learning Can Cut Fabric Dyeing Waste The San Francisco-based startup aims to create efficiency for logistics, supply chain and warehouse management functions. LuminX uses a combination of hardware and AI systems to allow the cameras it deploys to understand what's occurring in a facility in real time. The devices can be used at docks, on forklifts and more. The devices have the ability to identify products and pallets, track their movement through the warehouse, understand the condition of packages and more. From there, the devices' findings are processed through an AI system that communicates with a human operator about the state of the warehouse. LuminX contends that the technology can decrease the amount of manual work necessary and provide direct recommendations for reducing errors and inefficiencies. The startup plans to use the funding to add roles to its engineering team, scale up its go-to-market operations and refine the development of its technology for edge deployment. Alex Kaveh Senemar, the company's CEO and founder said the seed round will help expand LuminX's footprint in the supply chain and logistics realms. 'This pivotal funding allows us to scale our next-generation AI models, transforming how warehouses operate,' he said in a statement. 'Our edge-based vision language models represent a massive step forward, acting as an intelligent core for warehouse operations. They deliver new levels of automation and insight, helping to turn previously opaque processes into transparent highly efficient systems.' Walmart announced last summer that it was developing and beta testing a consumer-facing shopping assistant, designed to better guide consumers' e-commerce journeys. The retail giant announced last week that the assistant, which it calls Sparky, is now publicly available to consumers using its app. Sparky seems akin to Amazon's version of a shopping assistant, which it calls Rufus. The e-commerce behemoth made Rufus publicly available in September 2024, and the two companies continue to compete over technology—both that directly aiding consumers and the systems optimizing their operations behind the scenes. Sparky capitalizes on several of Walmart's existing AI capabilities, including review summaries. If a consumer asks Sparky whether a sundress will help keep them cool, the assistant can query existing reviews to give the consumer an idea of what other consumers have previously said about the dress' breathability and comfortability. Walmart also previously enabled AI-assisted search, which Sparky further takes advantage of; instead of starting their shopping journey in the app's search bar, consumers can ask Sparky for product recommendations. For instance, a consumer might ask, 'Could you please help me find the best back-to-school styles for my third grader?' In its announcement, Walmart contends that it intends to enable Sparky with agentic capabilities at some point. 'Ultimately, Sparky will solve everyday problems, freeing up time for what matters most. 'What's for dinner?' becomes a week of family-approved meal plans with ingredients automatically added to cart,' the company said. ''I need party ideas!' sparks a complete event planning session—theme, decorations, food and gifts—all highly personalized and coordinated within budget.' Those types of queries—'What's for dinner? Add the ingredients to my cart,' for instance—when posed to Sparky today, prompt a message telling the user that the assistant isn't able to help with the request. While discussion around planning for agentic AI is on the rise, many companies lack execution on agentic to date. Perfect Corp. announced this week that it has inked a computing partnership with technology giant Nvidia. Perfect Corp. offers virtual try-on, AI-powered recommendations, beauty simulation tools and other related applications to companies looking to make the e-commerce journey easier for their customers. But today, one of the most difficult pieces of generating real-time imagery like this is that it doesn't always fully reflect how a product will appear in real life. The new partnership with Nvidia is meant to help bridge those gaps, helping Perfect to achieve better color representation, more accurate renderings, faster performance and more. The company will leverage Nvidia TensorRT to speed up the rendering process, making the results feel near instant to consumers. It will also use Nvidia GPU capabilities, which help the models better create inferences about what a product will look like on an individual, helping to avoid the paper doll-esque virtual try-on experiences that so many consumers face in their e-commerce journeys. Alice Chang, CEO and founder of Perfect Corp., said she expects the partnership to accelerate the company's impact on the fashion, retail and beauty industries. 'We pioneer sustainable, high-touch, AI and AR-powered omnichannel beauty and fashion tech solutions that empower brands to enrich their relationships with customers,' Chang said in a statement. 'Our collaboration with NVIDIA is a pivotal step in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in beauty and fashion tech, allowing us to deliver even more immersive and personalized experiences to consumers worldwide.' PhotoRoom, which uses generative AI to aid sellers and brands in creating product images—in particular for marketplaces, like Depop—announced late last month it had acquired GenerateBanners. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition allowed the European startup to launch a new feature, called Visual Ads Automation. The tool allows PhotoRoom clients to easily generate advertisements for social, digital, email and more, customizing the content for individual consumer brackets or international markets. PhotoRoom allows customers to remove existing backgrounds and generate new backgrounds, add shadows and other details to match the new background and more. Now that it owns GenerateBanners, it has enabled clients to use those images to generate ads directly inside the platforms. Clients can load their own colors, fonts, logos and more to help the systems adhere to existing brand style, and the new tool can create batches of advertisements simultaneously. Matt Rouif, Photoroom's co-founder and CEO, said the platform's newly announced capabilities sweetens the deal for brands looking to reach customers and new markets in a scalable way. 'When you need the same product shot in ten languages and fifty formats, traditional creative workflows break.' Rouif said in a statement. 'Photoroom is becoming the AI creative agency for millions of businesses. Our new API lets teams generate on-brand visuals programmatically, at any scale, slashing costs and boosting performance.' The announcement of the acquisition comes several months after PhotoRoom announced a $43 million Series B round.

Why retailers are looking into stablecoins
Major retailers, including Walmart and Amazon, are reportedly considering their own stablecoin offerings as legislation to regulate the instruments moves further through Congress. The big picture: For big retail, it's the latest opportunity in a long-running hunt to cut billions in costs and days of delays tied to payment transactions. Cash transactions cost a retailer nothing. And stablecoins get very close to that. Between the lines: For merchants, credit and debit card payments carry interchange fees, or money paid to card issuer to process the transaction. The precise fees are an arcane and inscrutable topic, but for huge retailers like Walmart and Amazon, they total in the billions every year. In 2021, the Fed found about $32 billion in total interchange fees on prepaid and debit card transactions alone, a number that was growing quickly. Stablecoins also settle in seconds, with superior finality to card transactions, which can take days. Large retailers miss out on an astounding amount of interest while waiting for customer money to actually hit their bank accounts. How it works: Stablecoins are digital assets, running on a blockchain, pegged to the value of a dollar (and backed by cash and cash-like assets, such as Treasuries). Holding a stablecoin is like holding actual cash in your wallet. You have it until you run out, then you either have to go get more or earn more. There are two ways retailers could go about this, both of which were being explored, according to the Wall Street Journal report Friday that detailed Walmart and Amazon's plans. Retailers could either start accepting existing stablecoins (such as Circle 's USDC or Paypal's PYUSD) or they could issuer their own — individually or as a group. If retailers issued their own, they would have an all new source of profit. Like existing issuers, they would get to keep the interest earned on all the money deposited to buy their stablecoins. Reality check: Payments by stablecoin would be undoubtedly be a win for retailers, but shoppers themselves might take some convincing. It would be on companies to find a way to convince customers to hold enough stablecoins to fund their purchases — a task similar to managing a pre-paid debit card. That's a hard sell when credit card companies will just pay whatever a customer needs all month long, allowing them to settle up just once a month: The former requires you to estimate what you might spend, whereas the latter lets you pay off exactly what you did spend. What we're watching: If these retailers end up using stablecoins (a big if in the near term), look for them to manufacture incentives to use them. That could mean straight discounts or a points system that can yield rewards down the road. Starbucks has done great at just that. Its app's rewards program has led to customers holding hundreds of millions of dollars with the company, rather than their bank. Or retailers could create creative new enticements. For example, Walmart has offered prepaid cards before that included chances to win extra money. And of course faster payment rails would work both ways, meaning faster refunds for customers when they return something. Friction point: The banking industry. Money sitting in retail stablecoins or on different kind of apps is money banks don't have to issue loans and make money. A "pay with stablecoins" option at online and in-person checkouts would mean instant competition in the payments space, one that's been dominated for a long time by Visa, Mastercard and greenbacks. And banks would also lose out on their earnings from card interchange fees. Banks might also get into stablecoins, but it remains to be seen if that business will be as sweet a deal for them as issuing credit and debit cards has been.
