Los Angeles, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calgo, a forward-thinking technology startup, has officially launched its flagship mobile application, now available for download on both Android and iOS platforms. The app is designed to tap into unused processing capacity from smartphones, while plugged in and idle, to support low-impact, energy-conscious computing initiatives.
In an era where sustainability and efficiency are at the forefront of tech innovation, Calgo offers a novel solution that leverages the latent potential of devices already in users' hands. Instead of relying solely on high-energy infrastructure like data centers, the Calgo platform introduces a new way for users to support future-focused computing without disrupting their daily phone usage.
Turning Everyday Devices Into Purpose-Driven Tools
'Our mission is to unlock the untapped power of mobile devices and channel it toward meaningful, responsible applications,' said a Calgo spokesperson. 'With over 6 billion smartphones in use worldwide, we see an opportunity to create a smarter, more sustainable digital environment by connecting people through technology they already own.'
Once installed and running in the background, the Calgo app operates only under optimal conditions, such as when the device is plugged in and not in active use. This ensures the app doesn't interfere with the user's regular phone activity or battery life.
Early Access Program Now Open
To celebrate the launch, Calgo has introduced a limited-time Early Access Program. New users who join during this phase will receive enhanced performance settings, exclusive in-app features, and priority access to upcoming updates.
This initiative is designed to gather early feedback, reward early adopters, and further refine the platform's impact potential.
Practical Use Cases and Future Development
While the current app focuses on low-power background activity, Calgo's future roadmap includes:
Tools for individual users to track their performance contribution and usage stats
Optional features for participating in digital efficiency programs
Secure participation in low-resource data handling tasks
A rewards system for long-term contributors
Collaboration with sustainability-focused initiatives and nonprofits
The long-term vision for Calgo includes building an ecosystem where mobile users can passively contribute to global digital efficiency efforts while maintaining full control and transparency.
Available for Download Now
The Calgo app is now live and available here:
Android: Google Play Store
iOS: App Store
Users are encouraged to explore the app, take advantage of the Early Access Program, and help shape the next generation of sustainable mobile computing.Media Contact:Calgo Support Teamsupport@calgo.io https://calgo.io

Former OpenAI Board Member Questions Zuckerberg AI Hiring Spree

By and Haslinda Amin Save Meta Platforms Inc. 's lavish multimillion-dollar budget for recruiting top AI talent may not guarantee success, said Helen Toner, former OpenAI board member and director of strategy at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology. The poaching of artificial intelligence researchers from the likes of OpenAI — with salaries in the tens of millions of dollars — and the debut of Meta's new Superintelligence group comes after the Facebook operator developed a reputation for 'having a dysfunctional team,' Toner said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. The practice of luring away high performers from each other's AI labs has intensified among Silicon Valley companies since the launch of ChatGPT, she said.

Paramount and Trump in 'Advanced' Settlement Talks As Merger Deadline Nears

A deal to settle a lawsuit from President Trump against CBS News over its handling of a 60 Minutes interview could be close. Lawyers for both sides moved to pause all proceedings until Thursday, citing 'good faith' and 'advanced' settlement discussions, according to a court document filed on Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Canada Scraps Digital Services Tax After Trump Trade Talks Threat Trump "Terminating" U.S.-Canada Trade Talks Over Streaming Tax That's It, The F-Word Is Officially Boring The move comes ahead of the merger termination deadline on July 7. If the deal isn't completed by then, a second 90-day extension would expire on Oct. 6. In the scenario that the transaction isn't greenlit at that point, it's believed that Paramount and Skydance will abandon the deal rather than seek another extension. The holdup involves the Federal Communication Commission's refusal to transfer Paramount's broadcast licenses. The dispute has influenced Paramount's approach to a lawsuit accusing it of deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris. A mediator recently proposed a $20 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit, with the majority going to Trump's presidential foundation, The Wall Street Journal reported, which noted that Trump has insisted on an apology. It's been reported that CBS offered as much as $15 million. Trump's legal team faced a Monday deadline to reply to CBS' motion to compel discovery. 'The Parties respectfully submit that good cause to stay all proceedings exists because the Parties are engaged in good faith, advanced, settlement negotiations,' reads the filing. Absent a deal, the court is expected to rule on CBS' bid to dismiss the lawsuit in the coming months. In that filing, the network argued that the complaint is an 'affront to the First Amendment' and that Trump is looking to 'punish a news organization for constitutionally protected editorial judgments they do not like.' The pathway to Skydance's acquisition of Paramount getting approved involves a settlement of the 60 Minutes lawsuit, after which the FCC will approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses.
