LVGL adds VeriSilicon’s 3D and VGLite 2.5D GPUs support to its library for a wide range of embedded applications

VeriSilicon (688521.SH) today announced a strategic partnership with LVGL, the leading open-source graphics library for embedded systems, to support VeriSilicon’s low-power 3D and VGLite 2.5D GPU technology within the LVGL library. This partnership aims to optimize performance and expand graphic processing capabilities for a wide range of embedded applications. As one of the first providers of 3D GPU technology for the LVGL ecosystem, VeriSilicon will contribute to advancing 3D rendering capabilities within the LVGL library.

LVGL is the most popular free and open-source embedded graphics library to create beautiful User Interfaces (UIs) for any Microcontroller Units (MCUs), Micro Processor Units (MPUs), or display type. By integrating VeriSilicon’s low-power and high-performance GPU solutions into LVGL’s graphics ecosystem, it offers developers the ability to rapidly deliver improved visual experiences, while maintaining power efficiency on compact, resource-constrained devices.

Actions Technology, a low-power AIoT fabless semiconductor company, is among the first to adopt this integrated solution in their smart watch System-on-Chips (SoCs). The company recognizes the potential of VeriSilicon’s low-power GPU technology, which, in conjunction with LVGL’s graphics library, will enhance the user experience of next-generation wearable devices.

Gabor Kiss-Vamosi, CEO of LVGL, said, “VeriSilicon’s VGLite 2.5D GPU technology has pioneered a new era in the embedded world, enabling complex vector graphics with exceptional speed and low power consumption. Now, we stand at the edge of a new revolution: the arrival of 3D GPUs to MCUs. This breakthrough will transform the embedded UI landscape, unlocking never-before-seen possibilities for user interfaces on small, resource-constrained, and battery-powered devices. At LVGL, we are excited to embrace this technology and harness its potential across a wide range of platforms. Our goal is to provide a great developer experience for VeriSilicon’s 3D GPUs, enabling seamless integration of 2D, 2.5D, and 3D content that will no doubt lead to some remarkable embedded applications.”

Tim Zhang, Wearable and Sensing Business Unit General Manager of Actions Technology, said, “LVGL’s flexible and powerful graphics solutions are essential to enhance the user interfaces of our wearable products. As the wearable industry embraces 3D graphics, the adoption of VeriSilicon’s powerful and energy-efficient technologies enables us to push the boundaries of innovation, delivering rich 3D graphics with low power consumption.”

“Wearable products are experiencing rapid growth, offering extended functionalities that go far beyond traditional watches. They have evolved into accessible information devices with integrated health monitoring features,” said Weijin Dai, Executive Vice President and General Manager of VeriSilicon’s IP Division. “With this growth, delivering a powerful user interface to effectively communicate information on small displays, while maintaining low power consumption, has become essential. At VeriSilicon, we work closely with our customers to integrate 3D GPU technology into their next-generation products. As a leading provider of wearable GPUs for both 2.5D and 3D applications, we collaborate with LVGL and partners like Actions to drive innovation and achieve this mission.”

FDA Issues Modified Risk Tobacco Product Orders for 20 ZYN Nicotine Pouch Products30.6.2026 18:19:00 CEST | Press release

FDA’s decision makes ZYN the first nicotine pouch product to receive MRTP orders authorizing reduced-risk claims versus cigarettes Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) orders for 20 variants of ZYN nicotine pouch products. These are the first MRTP orders granted for nicotine pouches, allowing PMI U.S. to market the following claim for the authorized ZYN products: “Using ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.” “FDA’s decision is an important moment for the more than 45 million legal-age nicotine consumers in America,” saidStacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “Today’s news ensures these adultshave access to accurate, science-based information, including FDA-authorized evidence that switching from cigarettes to ZYN reduces the risk of smoking-related diseases like heart disease

Archer® Proves Purpose-Built AI Beats General-Purpose LLMs on Regulatory Change Management: 95% Verified Accuracy, 80x Faster, 92% Lower Cost30.6.2026 16:13:00 CEST | Press release

In a head-to-head benchmark, a leading general-purpose LLM was confidently wrong 35% of the time on regulatory dates. Archer Evolv™ shipped zero errors. For enterprises deploying AI in compliance, a wrong date is a missed deadline. The more dangerous failure is a wrong answer the model returns with high confidence, one that flows silently into a compliance calendar and is only discovered after the window has passed. Archer® today released results showing purpose-built AI beats a general-purpose large language model (LLM) on regulatory work, and it’s not close. This head-to-head test compared Archer’s purpose-built, vertical-specific AI and proprietary data sets against a leading general-purpose LLM, on a core compliance task: determining the publication, effective and comment-close dates of regulatory documents across six jurisdictions. General-purpose models are a genuine breakthrough, and this is no referendum on their quality. The question Archer set out to answer is narrower and mo
