CropX Acquires SCIO for Agronomic Intelligence Platform
CropX Technologies has acquired SCIO, a provider of portable near infrared spectroscopy tools for agriculture and food analysis, the company announced in a press release. The deal is CropX's eighth acquisition since 2020.
SCIO adds crop quality and composition measurement to CropX's digital agronomy platform. CropX said the combined system will connect soil and crop data with harvest quality analysis and post harvest operations.
SCIO's technology is protected by 44 granted patents and includes products such as SCIO Mini and SCIO Cup. Its tools support applications across seed production, grain, oilseed, feed, forage, dairy, berries, sweet corn, and food processing.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
