UK AI cloud service provider and data center developer Nscale, backed by Nvidia, is considering delaying its planned initial public offering (IPO) with an approximate valuation of $35 billion, as management evaluates whether to push the timeline to next year. Nscale has not yet made a decision on the matter and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company originally planned to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NSCL, and had been preparing to go public as soon as possible. Headquartered in London, Nscale filed for an IPO in September this year, targeting to raise around $3.5 billion at the time, including $2 billion from Nvidia. Just days ago, Microsoft declined to exercise its option to expand its existing agreement for computing power rental at Nscale’s Texas data centers.

Tether has launched the open-weight model QVAC BotPsy, an 800-million-parameter system built on Alibaba’s open-source Qwen 3.5 architecture, which converts user daily requests into local tool calls on personal devices. In internal tests, Tether said the model set a new benchmark for tool call performance among models with fewer than 1 billion parameters, and outperformed all tested models with up to 1.2 billion parameters. Across four key tests—BFCL v4, ACEBench, τ-bench, and ToolSandbox—its results roughly doubled those of the base model Qwen 3.5-0.8B-Think, and outperformed Qwen 3.5-2B-Think, which has 2.5 times more parameters. Specifically, it scored 46.1 points in BFCL’s multi-turn tool call test, nearly double the 23.8 points of the 2B model. Tether added that BotPsy reduces the need to send personal data like emails and calendars to centralized service providers, and can detect when no suitable tool is available to avoid generating false tool calls. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that users should decide for themselves what content the assistant can access and which external services it can connect to. The model’s weights have been published on Hugging Face.

AI sales company Rox has closed a $100 million Series B funding round, lifting its valuation to $1.3 billion. The round was co-led by General Catalyst and March Capital, with follow-on investments from Sequoia and GV, and new participation from Prosperity7. Rox develops AI agents for sales use cases, designed to research customer accounts, identify priority leads, and prepare outreach content. The firm aims to reduce sales teams’ administrative work, shifting customer relationship management (CRM) from passive information storage to actionable execution. Co-founder Ishan Mukherjee previously founded Pixie Labs, which was acquired by New Relic, and served as its chief growth officer. The founding team also includes Shriram Sridharan, a founding member of AWS Amazon Aurora, former Google employee Diogo Ribeiro, and Stanford AI Lab professor Christopher Ré. Early clients include Ramp, New Relic, Trafigura, MongoDB, and Groq. The company noted that its annual recurring revenue (ARR) has grown more than tenfold in its first year since launch. Proceeds from the round will be allocated to AI research and product development, with plans to expand its U.S. sales, marketing, and business teams fivefold next year.
