AI tools move into existing platforms: the week in AI releases
AI tools plugged into existing platforms via MCP, Equinix added AI-ready capacity in Singapore, and governance disputes ran at Fermi and Robo.ai.
Two releases this week involved AI tools inside platforms customers already use. SkyFi says its Satellite Intelligence app is now available to Robinhood Agents customers and connects over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Research Solutions brought its Scite and Article Galaxy products to Microsoft Copilot and says Scite already links to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP-enabled tools. On infrastructure, Equinix opened its sixth Singapore data center for AI and high-performance computing workloads, and ECARX signed a non-binding MoU with Arm to explore AI computing platforms for vehicles and other physical-AI uses.
Corporate governance and capital questions took up much of the rest of the week. Fermi co-founder Toby Neugebauer disputed the company's board after its annual meeting and called for a sale. Robo.ai issued a shareholder letter alongside the start of split-adjusted trading and separately named a new Group President. DataMEDS AI announced a supply agreement for compounded peptides.
Toby Neugebauer
Fermi's Co-Founder and Largest Shareholder, Toby Neugebauer: "Fermi's Shareholders, the Markets and Texas Voters Have Rejected Rick Perry and Fermi's 'We Can Do Whatever We Want' Board"
Toby Neugebauer, Fermi's co-founder and largest shareholder, says only 38.9% of outstanding shares voted to re-elect Rick Perry at the October 30 annual meeting, short of the threshold set by an August 11 bylaw change adopted without a shareholder vote. He says Fermi's stock has lost more than 80% of its value since July 3, calls for the company to be put up for sale while it closes a tenant deal, and says discovery in his lawsuit is underway.
Robo.ai Inc.
Robo.ai CEO Issues Letter to Shareholders
Robo.ai released a letter from CEO Benjamin Zhai as its shares began split-adjusted trading on Nasdaq on November 6, saying revenue exceeded US$280 million for June through September and reiterating a preliminary full-year 2026 outlook of approximately US$600 million. The company says it does not intend to enter into new equity-linked, variable-price financing arrangements for a period after the letter, which bears on how it plans to raise capital.
Equinix, Inc.
Equinix Opens SG6 in Singapore, Expanding AI-Ready Capacity in One of Asia-Pacific's Most Connected Markets
Equinix opened SG6, its sixth IBX data center in Singapore, with an initial investment of approximately $290 million, 8 MW and about 1,550 cabinets in phase one, and up to 20 MW planned at full build-out. The company says the site has liquid-cooling capabilities for GPU infrastructure and will host a Co-Innovation Facility with the National University of Singapore in 2027.
SkyFi
SkyFi's 'Satellite Intelligence' Now Available as a Robinhood Agent App
SkyFi says its Satellite Intelligence app, using BlackSky imagery, is now available to Robinhood Agents customers for $10 per month, covering 24 monitored sites tied to 10 publicly traded companies. The agent connection runs over MCP, and SkyFi's CEO says such observations were previously largely accessible only to institutions with large data budgets.
Research Solutions, Inc.
Research Solutions Brings Scite & Article Galaxy To Microsoft Copilot
Research Solutions announced Scite and Article Galaxy integrations for Microsoft Copilot, available now in the Microsoft Marketplace. The company says users can search scientific literature, classify citations, and check access rights, pricing and reuse rights by DOI without leaving Microsoft 365.

Robo.ai Appoints W Motors Founder Ralph R. Debbas as Group President
Robo.ai appointed W Motors founder Ralph R. Debbas as Group President, effective immediately, to focus on industrial strategy, international partnerships and coordination across its businesses. The company also cited a Phase I groundbreaking at ALIF Holding's Umm Al Quwain industrial park and Neurovia AI's launch of the NeuroStream platform.

ECARX Signs MoU with Arm to advance next-generation high-performance AI computing across industry applications
ECARX and Arm signed a non-binding MoU to explore next-generation high-performance AI computing platforms for mobility and cross-industry physical-AI applications in China and global markets. The companies cite prior work through SiEngine, whose 7nm SE1000 automotive-grade SoCs have been in mass production since March 2023, with a 5nm SE2000 under development.
