About ArrePath
ArrePath combines the power of human intelligence with AI/ML to address the challenge of efficient drug discovery, which is a complex optimization process paired with an unimaginable number of chemical possibilities. Our AI/ML platform couples virtual and experimental compound design and testing to create efficiency at identifying novel compounds that are both active and have the attributes required to progress. To date, we have identified antibiotic hits active against three clinically novel targets. Of these, we are progressing AP-001 to focus on the large outpatient UTI market and a hospital avoidance strategy plus the potential for step-down from hospital-based IV therapies. We also have discovered multiple novel compound families active against non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM).

Paychex (PAYX) To Report Earnings Tomorrow: Here Is What To Expect
Payroll and human resources software provider, Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX) will be reporting results this Wednesday before the bell. Here's what to look for. Paychex met analysts' revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $1.51 billion, up 4.8% year on year. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with EBITDA in line with analysts' estimates. Is Paychex a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Paychex's revenue to grow 11.5% year on year to $1.44 billion, improving from the 5.3% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $1.19 per share. Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Paychex has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates four times over the last two years. With Paychex being the first among its peers to report earnings this season, we don't have anywhere else to look to get a hint at how this quarter will unravel for finance and hr software stocks. However, investors in the segment have had steady hands going into earnings, with share prices flat over the last month. Paychex is down 2.8% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $148.89 (compared to the current share price of $154.50). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

Faraday Future Launches FF AI 2.0 Software Update for the FF 91 and Future FX Models: Represents the Biggest AI Leap Yet, Built with OpenAI
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or the 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the debut of FF AI 2.0, which will be incorporated in the FF 91 2.0 via software updates soon. This update represents the most significant upgrade to our intelligent in-car OS since the FF 91 launched in 2023. This milestone release delivers a major architectural overhaul that reengineers FF AI from the inside out and brings to life a new class of intelligent experiences that were never possible under traditional rule-based AI systems. This software could eventually be incorporated into FX models when launched as it is a shareable platform. This release of the FF AI 2.0 system, which can now switch between over 50 languages in real-time, remembers conversational context and understands complex commands. For example, when a user states, 'It's a bit warm, but I don't want the AC on,' it will intelligently recommend to adjust alternative vehicle controls for optimal comfort, such as open the windows or close the roof shade. A video of the new system in operation can be found here: FF AI 2.0 is deeply integrated with OpenAI. The system is scheduled to be available on the FF 91 via an upcoming OTA update, with a planned rollout for the FX line in the future. FF could be the first automotive company in North America to offer this level of AI functionality. For a diverse, multilingual market like the U.S., FF AI 2.0 could provide value FF believes is exceptional to users. Intelligence That Goes Beyond Voice At the core of FF AI 2.0 is the deep integration of large language models (LLMs) into Faraday Future's software and hardware stack. FF AI 2.0 is built to work with the models users already love and use — starting with OpenAI — and designed to stay compatible as new AI models emerge. This enables not only true natural voice interactions but also extends LLM intelligence across core in-car systems, including vehicle control, navigation, media, and many more. The result: users can express what they want, how they want, when they want, and in over 50 languages — with unprecedented freedom. Multi-Agent Architecture: Intelligence Amplified Behind this breakthrough is a multi-agent AI architecture that orchestrates the best of four AI capabilities: OpenAI-powered LLMs for rich, conversational understanding and natural-sounding voice. Real-time AI web search agents for timely, accurate knowledge. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) agents that draw from the FF user manual for context-specific support. Proprietary arbitration model that makes all of the agents work seamlessly. Rather than relying on a single model, FF AI 2.0 intelligently chooses the right agent for the task — in real time. Whether it's controlling the cabin, searching for weekend events, or understanding what's happening with the vehicle, the system seamlessly determines the best path forward. "This integration marks a step change: FF AI 2.0 isn't just more capable — It introduces a new way of interacting with machines in the age of ambient intelligence," said Shuai Yang, Sr. Manager, Product Management at FF. FF AI 2.0 Feature Highlights 50+ Language Support & In-Session Multilingual Switching Switch languages during a session, instantly: (e.g. Start in English, switch to Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, etc.) True Natural Language Understanding Understands your intent, not just keywords: (e.g. 'It's so hot but I don't want to use AC') Change Commands on the Fly Handles corrections and mid-sentence changes: (e.g. 'Change temp to 72… actually, 69… no, 68') Compound (Cross-Domain) Commands Handles multiple actions in one go: (e.g. 'Open windows, set temp, play music, navigate…') Multi-turn contextual memory Remembers previous context, follows multi-step conversations: (e.g. 'Navigate to Palm Springs' → 'What's the weather there?' → 'Suggest a spot for sunset' → 'Add it to the trip') Natural, Upgraded AI Voice Sounds human, not robotic. Super Low Latency Instant responses (thanks to speech-to-speech model). Semantic VAD (Intelligent Listening) Knows when you're done—even with 'uhm…' and filler words. Real-Time AI Web Search Answers with up-to-date online info: (e.g. 'What's happening this weekend in Joshua Tree?') On-Demand User Manual Support with RAG Step-by-step help for vehicle features: (e.g. 'How do I adjust the head-up display brightness?'). Wake Word Support Just say 'Hey Faraday' to start. 'We are excited to release our FF AI 2.0 upgrade. With this release, FF brings to life the kind of human-machine interface customers have long imagined,' said YT Jia, FF founder and Global Co-CEO of Faraday Future. 'And this is just the beginning; FF AI 2.0 is not just smarter, it's more human, more capable, and more connected than ever before.'

Arizona legislature approves bill that would provide up to $500 million for Chase Field renovations
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks are one small step from securing up to $500 million to help with renovations to the team's downtown home Chase Field. The Arizona House of Representatives voted to approve House Bill 2704 by a 35-20 margin on Monday. It would recapture sales taxes from the stadium and other adjacent buildings over the next 30 years and reinvest them into infrastructure at the retractable roof structure, which has been home to the D-backs since 1998 and is owned by the Maricopa County Stadium District. The only remaining hurdle is for Gov. Katie Hobbs to sign the legistation, and she's been publicly supportive of the bill. 'I'm thrilled that the legislature has passed a bill that will keep the Diamondbacks in Phoenix and create good-paying jobs,' Hobbs said on social media Monday . 'This is a huge win for every Arizonan. I appreciate the bipartisan elected officials and the business and labor leaders who came to the table and worked with my office to make this moment possible.' The Diamondbacks say they will also contribute $250 million of the team's money to help fund renovations. Team president Derrick Hall has said the nearly 30-year-old stadium needs several upgrades, most notably to its air conditioning system, which keeps the stadium cool during Phoenix's brutally hot summer months. The team's current lease with the county expires in 2027. 'We are ecstatic over the legislative approval of HB2704,' Hall said in a statement. 'This will be a monumental victory for baseball and Diamondbacks fans when signed by Governor Katie Hobbs. We could then shift our focus to a proper lease extension negotiation with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in hopes of modernizing and renovating this public asset to a level those fans deserve.' ___ AP MLB:
