Flexent, a national provider of invoice factoring and asset-based lending, announced today that total client funding grew by more than $14 million during the second quarter through funding for new clients and increased funding for existing clients. This funding supported businesses in transportation and logistics, precision manufacturing, information technology, healthcare transportation, and wholesale distribution.
The featured new client fundings ranged from $200,000 to $1.5 million and went to companies at different stages of expansion, from firms adding fleet capacity to a distributor executing new supply agreements. Each funding was structured around the client's receivables and operating needs.

Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by a research team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Nam Ju-han made their debut at one of Korea’s leading jazz festivals, performing improvised jazz alongside human artists. According to the university Friday, the team showcased human-AI music collaboration technology that analyzes the flow of human performances in real time, allowing AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment, during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from Oct. 9 to 11. A total of 12 human jazz artists participated in the event, collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. The technology is different from existing music AI services as it enables collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre characterized by improvisation. Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on how they feel in the moment. Because the same piece can be performed differently each time, musicians must listen to one another and adjust their playing accord
