    Sourceful’s Riverflow Achieves State-Of-The-Art Performance, Topping Global Image-Editing Benchmark

    Riverflow 1 sets a new benchmark for design-grade image editing, delivering production-level precision that surpasses all other models.

    MANCHESTER, UK / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Sourceful today announced Riverflow 1, a new AI model built for image editing with design-grade precision.

    In benchmark testing conducted by Artificial Analysis, Riverflow achieved state-of-the-art performance, ranking number one globally for image editing and outperforming leading models across a wide range of tasks.

    Riverflow was designed to give creators, designers, and developers greater control over visual edits. It supports complex retouching, object replacement, colour correction, lighting adjustment, transparency controls, and text refinement with a level of reliability that general-purpose image generators cannot match.

    Built to meet the exacting needs of professional design work, Riverflow delivers accuracy that holds up under close scrutiny and translates faithfully into real-world output. The model is now available to developers and visual platforms worldwide through Runware’s API, with additional integrations planned later this year.

    Within Sourceful’s own platform, Riverflow powers a specialised application focused on branded packaging and marketing assets. The model grew from Sourceful’s mission to push the limits of image editing for designs destined for physical print, where millimetre accuracy and consistent colour are essential.

    In 2025, an estimated 8.8 trillion pieces of branded packaging, marketing, and merchandise will be printed worldwide across nearly 390 million unique designs. Riverflow enables Sourceful users to iterate and visualise these designs faster while maintaining production-ready standards.

    Sourceful’s user base is evenly split between professional designers and non-designers. Both groups use the platform to explore ideas, refine brand worlds, and produce marketing visuals that once required agency budgets and long timelines. Riverflow gives them access to professional-grade accuracy directly in the browser.

    “We have been working with generative AI since 2023, but this is the first time we have benchmarked our own models against the global leaders,” said Wing Chan, CEO and co-founder of Sourceful. “Riverflow delivers something new: the speed and creativity of AI combined with the precision required for production-quality design.”

    “Working with Sourceful has fully tested our infrastructure and demonstrated the potential of Riverflow,” said Ioana Hreninciuc, co-founder of Runware. “Their focus on latency and pixel-level control made it a perfect showcase for our Sonic Inference Engine, custom built for AI workloads to deliver the best speed and cost efficiency in the industry. We are proud to be their launch partner and look forward to future collaborations.”

    Riverflow marks a key milestone in Sourceful’s mission to bring state-of-the-art AI precision to the physical and digital worlds of brand design, while also contributing a high-performance, benchmark-leading model to the broader developer community.

    Riverflow 1 is available today inside the Sourceful web platform at www.sourceful.com and via the Runware API. Sourceful plans to expand Riverflow with additional model variants and updates later this year.

  • Ease Your Panes Announces Gutter Cleaning Services for Increased Storm Debris

    Ease Your Panes Announces Gutter Cleaning Services for Increased Storm Debris

    DENVER, CO – October 14, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Ease Your Panes, a Denver-based window and gutter cleaning company, has expanded its residential gutter cleaning services to address the growing challenges posed by Colorado’s extreme weather patterns and the accumulation of storm debris throughout the Front Range region.

    The company’s comprehensive gutter cleaning service includes debris removal, downspout flushing, thorough gutter inspection, and implementation of enhanced safety measures. These services have become increasingly vital as Denver homeowners face mounting maintenance challenges from the city’s mature tree canopy, mountain pine beetle debris, and frequent weather extremes that can cause significant property damage when gutters fail.

    Ease Your Panes Gutter Cleaning Denver

    Ease Your Panes Gutter Cleaning in Denver provides both residential and commercial property services throughout the metro area. The company utilizes specialized equipment designed to safely reach multi-story homes while employing eco-friendly cleaning solutions that protect Colorado’s watershed. Their service technicians conduct detailed inspections to identify potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs.

    “Colorado’s unique climate creates specific challenges for gutter systems that many homeowners underestimate,” said David Ennis, owner of Ease Your Panes. “Between our freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring snowmelt, and summer hailstorms, gutters take tremendous abuse throughout the year. Regular professional maintenance can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, foundation repairs, and roof deterioration.”

    The importance of proper gutter maintenance extends beyond simple water drainage. Clogged gutters can lead to ice dam formation during winter months, creating dangerous conditions and potential liability issues. Standing water in neglected gutters also breeds mosquitoes and other pests while contributing to mold growth that can affect indoor air quality. Additionally, overflowing gutters cause landscape erosion, damage expensive xeriscaping investments, and accelerate the deterioration of siding and exterior paint.

    Ease Your Panes Gutter Cleaning Denver recommends twice-yearly cleaning for optimal performance, with additional service after severe weather events. The company also provides guidance on gutter guard installation, which can significantly reduce the frequency of required cleanings while maintaining year-round protection. Their technicians are trained to identify signs of gutter system failure, including sagging sections, rust spots, and improper drainage angles that could lead to water pooling near foundations.

    The company’s commitment to safety distinguishes its approach from DIY attempts, which often result in ladder accidents and injuries. Professional gutter cleaning also ensures thorough debris removal that extends beyond surface-level cleaning, addressing blockages in downspouts and checking for proper water flow throughout the entire system.

    Ease Your Panes serves numerous communities throughout the Denver Metro area, offering same-day quotes and next-day service availability. The company has built its reputation on combining professional window cleaning with comprehensive gutter maintenance, solar panel cleaning, and seasonal services such as Christmas light installation. Their focus on quality service, safety protocols, and use of state-of-the-art tools has established them as a trusted provider for both residential and commercial properties seeking to protect their investments from Colorado’s challenging weather conditions.

  • Rolling Stone Started the Chorus and SMX Ended It with an Ultimate Mic Drop (NASDAQ:SMX)

    Rolling Stone Started the Chorus and SMX Ended It with an Ultimate Mic Drop (NASDAQ:SMX)

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Every major cultural shift starts the same way: someone not just saying, but proving what the rest only promised. That’s exactly what happened when Rolling Stone jumped into the sustainability conversation and dropped a headline that hit like a verdict: “Plastic promises are dead and proof is the new flex.”

    For an industry built on good intentions and glossy pledges, that line marked the end of the performance. The world didn’t need another recycling slogan. It needed receipts. And that’s where SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) took center stage.

    SMX isn’t pitching ideals; it’s embedding evidence. Its molecular marking technology gives plastics, rubber, textiles, and metals their own digital memory – an immutable fingerprint that survives the entire lifecycle from manufacturing to reuse. Why is that important? Because once proof becomes permanent, circularity stops being a theory and starts behaving like an economy.

    From Pop Culture to Policy Frameworks
    After Rolling Stone set the tone, the rest of the media chorus found its rhythm. USA Today quantified the story, pointing out that the $824 billion plastics market isn’t short on ambition – just on traceability. That’s the gap SMX fills. When a product can prove its origin, composition, and movement, the result isn’t cleaner reporting; it’s fewer disputes, tighter margins, and measurable ROI. Proof stops being compliance paperwork and starts becoming profit.

    Meanwhile, The Straits Times covered Singapore’s rollout of a digital passport for plastics – a real-world policy framework that mirrors SMX’s tech footprint across ASEAN through Bio-Packaging, Skypac, and A*STAR. In the U.S., OPIS explained how digitalizing waste can flip landfill costs into verified assets, while Morning Honey made the consumer connection: transparent supply chains don’t just build trust, they balance trade.

    Even fashion picked up the signal. Sourcing Journal profiled SMX’s molecular markers in lambskin and leather, proving that traceability isn’t limited to packaging – it’s redefining luxury itself.

    From Carbon Credits to Verified Assets
    Then came the headline that changed the economics. The Los Angeles Tribune declared, “Carbon Credits Had Their Day.” The new era belongs to SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT)– a digital ledger-verified proof system that transforms recycled materials into digital assets. It’s not just greener policy; it’s a new form of value creation.

    Rolling Stone named the moment. USA Today measured the market. The Straits Times codified it into policy. OPIS modeled the economics. Morning Honey connected it to fairness. And the Los Angeles Tribune priced it. SMX is the infrastructure making the proof economy possible.

    This isn’t hype. It’s convergence. Culture, commerce, and compliance are finally speaking the same dialect – and it’s written in data. When Rolling Stone calls you a flex, USA Today calls you a market, and The Straits Times covers your blueprint, the narrative isn’t being built. It’s being verified.

    SMX’s molecular technology now spans industries and continents, giving every material its own verifiable identity in a world that’s done accepting “trust us” as an answer. Governments see regulation that works. Brands see measurable accountability. Investors see scalability.

    That’s not just progress – that’s permanence. SMX isn’t chasing the spotlight; it’s conducting the symphony. Every partnership, every passport, every proof point reinforces the same refrain: transparency isn’t a promise anymore – it’s the product.

    About SMX
    As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

  • GA-ASI and Hanwha Finalize Deal To Produce Gray Eagle(R) STOL UAS

    GA-ASI and Hanwha Finalize Deal To Produce Gray Eagle(R) STOL UAS

    Partnership Will Enable Cost Savings By Manufacturing Unique and Flexible UAS Platform in South Korea

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and South Korea industry leader Hanwha Aerospace signed an agreement on October 14 to partner in development of the Gray Eagle® Short Takeoff and Landing (GE STOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS). This landmark agreement marks the beginning of a new phase in U.S.-Korea defense cooperation, extending beyond traditional alliance structures to deliver next-generation, runway-independent UAS solutions that maximize commanders’ options in the face of evolving mission demands.

    The deal marks the beginning of a co-development and co-production program between GA-ASI and Hanwha, with work set to begin immediately. The GE STOL will be offered to a worldwide customer base, including South Korea Ministry of Defense and the United States War Department.

    Under the agreement, the two companies will design and build a production representative GE STOL. The maiden flight is scheduled for 2027 and first delivery to customers in 2028. With a GA-ASI-funded prototype already flying, the program has demonstrated its ability to accelerate from development to delivery. By leveraging the trusted Gray Eagle foundation and forward-leaning investments, the partnership offers the fastest path with lowest risk to operational capability. GA-ASI and Hanwha Aerospace will work closely throughout the design phase and establish a production facility in South Korea for final assembly and manufacturing of the GE STOL, with GA-ASI handling the final integration. GA-ASI will continue to produce its other Gray Eagle models in San Diego.

    “GA-ASI and Hanwha are committed to investing in this project and building development and production capabilities in South Korea,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We’ll be leveraging the expertise of both companies to quickly bring the Gray Eagle STOL to global customers.”

    Gray Eagle STOL is the only medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS in its class to offer true runway independence by operating from semi-improved surfaces, including dirt roads, open fields, beaches, and parking lots. This exponentially increases its operational employment by providing multi-mission capability for Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), counter UAS, and other missions including Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) while leveraging GE STOL’s modular open systems approach.

    Using the GE STOL demonstrator, called Mojave, GA-ASI recorded several first-of-their-kind aviation milestones, including a 2024 demonstration when GA-ASI and Hanwha flew Mojave from the South Korean Navy’s amphibious landing ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) as it was underway at sea off the coast of Pohang, South Korea. It has also been launched and recovered aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (2023), performed live-fire testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona (2024), and performed dirt strip operations (2023) underscoring GA-ASI’s advances in runway independence and operational flexibility.

    The initiative is part of Hanwha’s strategic investment plan in its UAS business. This commitment, together with GA-ASI’s continued focus on UAS, demonstrates both companies’ strategy to invest ahead of customer demand, reducing risk and lowering lifecycle costs through international cost-sharing, and ensuring timely delivery of next-generation UAS solutions in Korea and abroad.

    “Jointly producing GE STOL in South Korea and the U.S. will create jobs and help Hanwha secure talent in related fields as well as foster our domestic (Korean) UAS industry ecosystem. Hanwha is poised to become a comprehensive UAS company capable of executing everything from design to production and maintenance based on our capabilities, which span from fighter jet engines to radar and avionics equipment,” said Mr. Jae-il Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace.

    Together, GA-ASI and Hanwha are delivering a low-risk, investment-backed, and innovation-driven UAS solution that provides commanders unmatched flexibility faster and at lower cost.

    About GA-ASI

  • Hemanext Inc. Awarded $2.9M NIH Grant to Advance Clinical Initiatives in the United States

    Hemanext Inc. Awarded $2.9M NIH Grant to Advance Clinical Initiatives in the United States

    Lexington, MA October 14, 2025 –(PR.com)– Hemanext Inc., a leading innovator in blood processing, storage, and transfusion technology, has been awarded a three-year Small Business Innovation Research Grant (SBIR) Phase II for a project titled, “Efficacy of Hypoxic Red Blood Cells Processed with the Hemanext ONE® System in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia,” to support and strengthen the clinical efforts of hypoxically stored red blood cells (HRBC) in the United States (NIH RePORTER link). The NIH SBIR program provides competitive funding to small businesses with high-impact ideas that have a strong potential for public health benefit.

    Despite several new therapies that have been developed over the past few years, including pharmacologic and gene therapy, they are not available or tolerable to all sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. These anemic patients continue to require RBC transfusions. Chronically transfused sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients are a highly vulnerable population because they are entirely dependent upon frequent transfusions of conventional RBCs to remain healthy. For these patients, blood transfusion therapy is the only viable option for survival. HRBC transfusions have emerged as a promising approach to provide a high-quality blood product to potentially improve treatment outcomes in SCA patients.

    The awarded clinical trial will be a multi-center, randomized, controlled study with a cross-over design and will include patients seven years old and older. The primary objective will evaluate the efficacy of HRBC by measuring the rate of decline in %Hemoglobin A and assessing HRBC’s impact on reducing the patients’ transfusion burden. Furthermore, the study will evaluate transfusion-related outcomes, including a comprehensive array of clinical and laboratory parameters and quality of life assessments. Dr. Laurel Omert will be the contact Principal Investigator (PI) with Dr. Biree Andemariam and Dr. Enrico Novelli as co-PIs.

    “I am delighted to be able to work with a group of such distinguished investigators in the field of sickle cell anemia to study the effect of large volume red blood cell exchange transfusions of HRBC in this underserved population,” said Laurel Omert, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Hemanext.

    Andrew Dunham, CEO of Hemanext stated, “This award marks a significant milestone for our team and validates the promise of our approach to transform transfusion medicine. We are honored and excited to receive this NIH SBIR grant, which underscores the significance of our work and its potential to address unmet clinical needs.”
