SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glance, the consumer technology company backed by Google, launches Glance AI, an AI Commerce platform that delivers inspirational Generative-AI led commerce and content discovery for Samsung users in the US. As part of this strategic partnership, Samsung users will gain access to Glance's AI shopping and styling experiences.
Glance AI is a Gen AI shopping platform disrupting how consumers shop today. They can instantly visualize themselves in outfits and destinations they would never imagine and purchase their favorites with just a tap. Built on Google Gemini's intelligence and Imagen's state-of-the-art image generation capabilities, Glance AI offers custom experiences across multiple Android handset manufacturers. Through this new partnership, Glance AI is unveiling its new custom app experience specially designed for Samsung users.
"Glance AI is driven by a core human truth - each one of us wants to become the best version of ourselves. What stands between that aspiration and reality is the awareness of what is possible or access to platforms that enable this,' said Naveen Tewari, Founder and CEO, Glance. 'Glance AI helps consumers discover and visualize what's possible – starting with an outfit that makes them look and feel great – and own it with just a tap on the platform. Samsung's commitment to enable Glance AI across its US devices will enable consumers to enjoy a fully user-opted-in experience where inspirational commerce and content converge.'
Available as both an app and a lockscreen experience, Glance AI is a fully opt-in experience. It trains itself on a single selfie or an image from the image gallery to generate hyper-real images of consumers in outfits best suited for them. As users visualize themselves in various outfits, they can make real-time purchase decisions with just a tap. The recommendations and order fulfillment are driven by Glance AI's extensive partnership with more than 400 leading brands and retailers in the US and beyond. The app further allows users to place the feature directly on their lock screen for easy access and the ability to save each look as either their lockscreen wallpaper or download to share across their network.
Glance AI also leverages trending content, local events, and social media moments to make recommendations fresh, relevant, and engaging. High-speed inferencing helps deliver options such as flash sales and trend-driven commerce, making every shopping experience unique and effortless. By utilizing Samsung's extensive reach alongside the power of AI, Glance aims to redefine user interaction with smartphones, making every moment spent on the device richer and more efficient.
'At Samsung Galaxy Store, we're proud to be more than just an app marketplace – we're a destination for innovation, discovery, and meaningful experiences tailored for Galaxy users,' said Jason Shim, Sr. Director and Head of Samsung Galaxy Store USA. 'Glance AI is a perfect example of the kind of high-quality and unique content we strive to deliver. By using AI to personalize content and shopping directly on the lock screen, it brings a smarter, more dynamic experience that reflects the forward-thinking spirit of the Galaxy Store.'
This collaboration paves the way for a mobile ecosystem that enables users to discover new styles and trends, transforming the smartphone into a dynamic center of styling and commerce.

CoreWeave shares climb on $1.5 billion debt offering amid AI expansion

-- CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares jumped on Monday after the AI infrastructure provider unveiled plans to raise $1.5 billion through a senior notes offering, bolstering its balance sheet to support continued growth. The stock surged 4.5% following the announcement as investors responded to the company's move to lean into long-term demand for AI compute capacity. The new 2031-dated bond comes as CoreWeave continues to navigate a stretched balance sheet, with $8 billion in total debt reported as of December 2024. The offering will be made to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S, and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain wholly owned subsidiaries. Analysts have generally remained constructive on CoreWeave's near-term outlook despite the capital structure concerns. 'From a numbers perspective, we are expecting another double-digit beat, with current consensus assuming 10% q/q growth, which feels conservative given the ongoing Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) B200 ramp management spoke to last quarter,' noted Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow. Still, the company's aggressive expansion strategy, centered on massive investment in GPU infrastructure, has come at a cost, with elevated interest burdens raising flags about cash flow resiliency in a cyclical market. CoreWeave issued $2 billion in new notes in May and follows that just two months later with this $1.5 billion issuance, moves that could signal a need to refinance rather than organic deleveraging. Since debuting in public markets in late March, CoreWeave's has proven an AI darling, initially spiking from $40 to $187 before stabilizing in the $125 to $140 range. Lenschow's updated price target of $140 reflects both expectations for sustained customer demand in AI cloud services and the limitations posed by valuation, which he described as 'full (~50x CY26E EV/EBIT).' CoreWeave's differentiated infrastructure, reportedly offering up to 35 times faster and 80% cheaper computing compared to AWS or Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud, has positioned it as a leader in the AI acceleration space. However, the company's reliance on debt to fund its buildout raises long-term questions, particularly if hyperscaler spending slows or AI workload monetization falls short. Moody's assigned a B1 rating to CoreWeave's newly announced $1.5 billion senior unsecured notes due 2031, while maintaining its Ba3 corporate family rating and a stable outlook. Fitch similarly rated the notes at BB- with a Recovery Rating of 'RR4', noting CoreWeave's strong revenue visibility, capital discipline, and projected deleveraging, supported by a $25.9 billion backlog and robust EBITDA growth through 2026. Both agencies cited CoreWeave's relatively high leverage and customer concentration as key concerns. Nonetheless, Moody's and Fitch highlighted the stability of CoreWeave's contracted revenues, its unique competitive positioning in AI infrastructure, and the potential for leverage to decline to 3.5x or below by the end of 2026, provided the company continues its execution pace and maintains liquidity. Revenue for the second quarter is forecast at around $1.2 billion, potentially exceeding consensus estimates and supporting EBITDA momentum. 'In all, we think Q2 should provide proof points of ongoing healthy end-demand, though we still view valuation as full... and think the end of the lock-up two days after earnings limits any potential positive price action,' said Lenschow.

5 ways teens are using AI companions, from flirting to serious advice

A new report asked more than 1,000 teens about whether and how they're using AI companions. More than half said they use companions regularly, and some rely on them for serious advice. Almost 10% those who use companions try to learn "romantic" skills. The era of AI-generated pick-up lines is here for some teens. A study from the nonprofit organization Common Sense Media published on July 16, 2025, asked teens nationwide about whether and how they use AI companions, especially in their social lives. The survey defined AI companions as "digital friends or characters you can text or talk with" that "are designed to have conversations that feel personal and meaningful." In total, 1,060 teens between the ages of 13 and 17 responded during April and May, and their answers shed light on how adolescents are using the technology in their social lives. At the end of the report, Common Sense Media reaffirmed its previous suggestion that nobody younger than 18 should use AI companions. Business Insider combed through the results for some of the most interesting takeaways. More than half said they're regular users While 72% of respondents said they've used AI companions at least one time, 52% use the technology at least a few times per month. For some, AI companions are a regular part of their day — 13% of respondents said they use the technology daily. More than a quarter of respondents said they'd never used an AI companion. 8% have used AI to flirt When the 758 teens who said they use AI companions were asked what skills they practice, 8% said romantic or flirtatious ones. AI could reshape dating apps as we know them, BI previously reported, as some companies have created chatbots that people can date. Some people have even developed romantic relationships with AI partners. Leaked documents reviewed by BI show that Meta has trained its AI to accept "flirty" prompts, as long as they are not sexually explicit. Younger teens are more likely to trust the AI's advice Half of those surveyed said they trust the advice and information from their AI companion at least "somewhat," but there are age discrepancies within that group. Younger kids are much more trusting — 27% of respondents ages 13-14 compared to 20% of respondents aged 15-17. Of those who said they trust their AI companions, 23% said they trust them "quite a bit" or "completely." Many find the interactions as or more satisfying than conversations with humans Nearly 1/3 of those surveyed said they find conversations with AI companions as or more satisfying than those they have with real, human friends. Of the teens who responded, 10% said the conversations were more satisfying, and 21% ranked them as satisfying. Still, the teens surveyed largely prioritize time with their friends over their AI buddy — 80% said they spend more time with friends, and only 6% said they spend more time with the AI. Some prefer AI for serious advice Among the 758 teens who said they use AI companions, one-third said they've talked about "important or serious" subjects with the bot instead of real friends, but only 4% said they do that frequently.
