Electra Wins Audience Prize at WMF 2025 for Advancing Battery Intelligence with AI

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Electra, the Boston-based company leader in AI-driven battery intelligence, has been awarded the Audience Prize at WMF - We Make Future 2025, Italy's largest innovation and technology festival. Selected as one of six international finalists from thousands of applicants, Electra presented on the event's Mainstage in front of more than 5,000 attendees and a global audience from over 90 countries.
During the high-stakes startup competition, Electra's CMO Giovanni Rossi delivered a three-minute pitch focused on one of the most pressing challenges of the energy transition: making battery systems more intelligent, reliable, and efficient.
'As solar and wind become central to global energy production, the role of batteries in storing and delivering energy at the right time is more critical than ever,' said Giovanni Rossi during his pitch. 'However, today's systems suffer from limited monetization potential, unpredictable failures, and slow innovation cycles'.
Electra tackles today's battery system challenges with two proprietary software platforms. EnPower is a digital twin solution that accelerates the design, testing, and integration of advanced battery systems, while EVE-Ai is a real-time engine that continuously monitors, optimizes, and controls battery performance. Together, they empower manufacturers and operators to cut development time and costs, predict faults up to three months in advance, extend battery lifespan up to 40%, enhance safety and reliability, and unlock new revenue opportunities (up to a 15% annual increase in ROI). Fully chemistry-agnostic, the system supports a wide range of applications, from electric vehicles to e-mobility to grid-scale energy storage (BESS).
Electra's offering stands out in a fragmented battery software market by combining modeling, analytics, and control in a unified platform. The Volta Foundation also recognized the company as one of the few global leaders at the intersection of AI and battery technology.
Founded in Boston by Fabrizio Martini, a former NASA engineer, Electra now operates across the United States, Europe, India, and South Korea. Following a successful $21 million Series A, the company is now scaling its international presence and fast-tracking product innovation to support the next phase of growth.
Electra shared the WMF 2025 stage with five other finalist startups: Invigilo AI, ALBA Robot, Helix Carbon, CircularPlace, and AndromedAI. The event was hosted by Veronica Maffei and Tiarne Hawkins, and organized by Search On Media Group.
The pitch is available to watch here on YouTube.

Is ChatGPT Down for You, Too? Widespread Outage Continues to Grow

Have you noticed that ChatGPT is a little less chatty this morning? OpenAI is experiencing a widespread outage Tuesday morning that's affecting its ChatGPT AI chatbot service, as well as its Sora tool for AI-generated videos. The number of reported outages has continued to increase throughout the morning. An OpenAI representative responded via email, directing us to its post on X and its status page. Both stated that OpenAI is experiencing "elevated errors and latency" and that it has identified the root cause and is working to mitigate the underlying issue. The technical issues are also affecting OpenAI's APIs, which allow developers to tap into the company's AI models. The troubles been ongoing for seven hours, OpenAI noted, meaning they likely started around midnight PT. The Downdetector service also shows outage reports starting around that time and then spiking several hours later. (Downdetector is owned by Ziff Davis, which is also the parent company of CNET.) Launched in 2022, ChatGPT has become the most popular AI application ever released, with 400 million weekly users. A barrage of generative AI competitors have followed, including Meta AI, Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Copilot, but ChatGPT remains the leader largely because it's easy to use. At its Worldwide Developers Conference 2025, Apple even touted an expansion of its ChatGPT integration. The AI chatbot uses learning algorithms and large language models to process massive amounts of data from books and the internet, which it uses to deliver human-like responses to prompts from users. (Ziff Davis in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.) This is a developing story. What can you do while OpenAI is down? Although OpenAI's ChatGPT may be among the most popular options, there are plenty of alternatives while it's down -- and many of them are free to use. Chat Claude is our current favorite chatbot we've tested, and Claude even knew all the details about ChatGPT's outage, according to my colleague Jon Reed, CNET senior editor who covers AI. Images If you rely on ChatGPT's Dall-E 3 as your image generator, we'd recommend trying for really creative work and Canva for free, beginner-friendly work. Video If you're looking for an alternative to Sora tool for AI-generated videos, we just checked out Microsoft's Bing Video Creator, which is super easy to use and live on mobile now.

ChatGPT Down: Eight Hours And Counting

It's been a dark day for ChatGPT ChatGPT is suffering from a prolonged outage, which has seen the service disrupted for more than eight hours. The OpenAI service status page reported that 'some users are experiencing elevated error rates and latency across the listed services.' from around 4am ET. As of 11:15 ET, the service is still struggling, with OpenAI reporting that it's 'still working on implementing the mitigation for this issue." The 'partial outage' is disrupting ChatGPT, the Sora video generation service and the company's APIs. Although the ChatGPT site appears to be functional, responses to queries have been slow or showing error messages for several hours. The 'too many requests'" error appeared when I entered a prompt shortly before this article was published, with the service appearing to slow down further with more of the U.S. entering working hours. This is a breaking news story. More to follow.
