 <p>Snowflake, a company specializing in cloud-based data and AI infrastructure, has agreed to acquire Datavolo, a provider of multimodal data pipelines for AI, for an undisclosed sum.</p>
 <p>Datavolo uses Apache NiFi, an open-source project initiated by the NSA, to develop a platform that streamlines data flows between enterprise data sources. Datavolo's technology is designed to process, extract, clean, transform, and enrich data for GenAI applications.</p>
 <p>In the wake of the acquisition, Snowflake intends to integrate Datavolo into its own platform, thereby enhancing its data engineering capacities. This will allow customers to swap out complex, direct connectors for more flexible and reusable pipelines. Snowflake also plans to continue maintaining the Apache NiFi project, while also aiming to expand its presence in the public sector.</p>
</div> <p><b>Analyst QuickTake:<br>
</b> This strategic acquisition aligns with Snowflake's focus on the public sector and follows its previous acquisition of <a href="https:<br>
//sp-edge.com/updates/33819"> Night Shift Development </a> in September 2024. This move aimed to enhance decision-making for government agencies by establishing a dedicated entity for the US public sector, enabling new methods of collaboration with public organizations.</p>

 <p>Snowflake, a company specializing in cloud-based data and AI infrastructure, has announced its intentions to acquire Datavolo, a firm that provides robust data pipelines for AI applications. The financial details of the agreement remain undisclosed.</p>
 <p>Datavolo makes use of Apache NiFi, an open-source project originally developed by the NSA, to design a platform that automates the movement of data between various enterprise data sources. Their technology handles processing, extraction, cleansing, transformation, and enrichment of data for GenAI applications.</p>
 <p>Post-acquisition, Snowflake intends to absorb Datavolo into its platform in a move to bolster its data engineering capabilities. This merger will enable Snowflake's customers to substitute complicated point-to-point connectors with versatile, reusable pipelines. Furthermore, Snowflake plans to continue the upkeep of the Apache NiFi project and looks forward to expediting its growth in the public sector.</p>

 <p>OceanWell, a forward-thinking desalination startup, has garnered USD 11 million in Series A funding. Prominent contributors include Kubota Corporation, Jon Hemingway's family office of Carrix Ports, and Charles McGarraugh, who previously headed Goldman Sachs Metals Trading.</p>
 <p>The investment is intended to support the scale-up of the company's revolutionary modular deep-sea water farm technology. An initial water farm pilot in cooperation with Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) in California is also on the cards. OceanWell's ambitious plan is to construct 15 water farms across the world.</p>
 <p>The novel technology developed by OceanWell harnesses the hydrostatic pressure at depths of 400 meters to facilitate reverse osmosis desalination. Each of the company's pods has the capacity to generate up to one million gallons of fresh water every day. This method provides a 40% reduction in energy usage compared to traditional desalination techniques, and it offers additional benefits in terms of marine life preservation.</p>

 <p>H, a Paris-based AI startup created by former employees of Google, has introduced Runner H, a platform leveraging Artificial Intelligence for business automation.</p>
 <p>This platform, Runner H, is developed on a unique, compact LLM with 2 billion parameters. It is designed to address three primary use cases: RPA (Robotic Process Automation), quality assurance, and business process outsourcing. The design of the platform permits users to either choose from already built agents or design their own using API's.</p>
 
</div> <p><b>Analyst QuickTake:<br>
</b> This news follows its funding round of <a href="https:<br>
//sp-edge.com/updates/29664"> USD 220 million </a> in June this year to acquire datasets and compute power to advance artificial general intelligence (AGI). The company claims its compact model outperforms Anthropic's "Computer Use" by 29% based on WebVoyager benchmarks, as well as models from Mistral and Meta. H states the smaller parameter count makes the platform more efficient in terms of cost and operations.</p>
