France's Socialists' file no-confidence measure after pensions talks crumble
France 's Socialists filed a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou after pension talks collapsed, a senior party lawmaker said on Tuesday, but it seems unlikely to pass after the far-right indicated it would not follow suit. Months-long talks between French trade unions and employers over reforms to the pension system crumbled late on Monday, prompting Bayrou to summon both sides for talks to find a way forward. The failure of those talks makes Bayrou vulnerable, as his centrist government, grouping President Emmanuel Macron 's Ensemble alliance and the conservative Republicans, could fall anytime if left-wing and far-right parties band together to back a motion of no-confidence. It also augurs badly for what are likely to be even tougher talks over the 2026 budget bill, with the government seeking to push through 40 billion euros ($46 billion) in spending cuts. Boris Vallaud, leader of the Socialists in the lower house, told parliament that Bayrou had not kept his promise to put a new pension reform bill to parliament. "This compels us to file a motion of censure," Vallaud said. The hard-left France Unbowed has previously supported the idea of a confidence vote, but without support from Marine Le Pen 's far-right National Rally (RN), the measure looks unlikely to pass. Gaëtan Dussausaye, an RN lawmaker, said the RN was not looking to topple the government, and Le Pen did not mention such a move when she addressed parliament. "We don't censure for nothing — but that's exactly what the left is proposing here," said Dussausaye. Bayrou finds himself in a similar situation to the previous prime minister, Michel Barnier, whose three-month-long administration was propped up by the RN until it backed a no-confidence measure in December over his belt-tightening 2025 budget bill. In parliament on Tuesday, Bayrou said he was still convinced that "there is a path, albeit a very difficult one, that can lead us out of this impasse". In what were billed as last-chance talks, pension negotiators failed to agree on how to amend an unpopular 2023 overhaul of the pension system that will gradually raise the retirement age to 64 from 62. Unions wanted to allow workers with physically taxing jobs to retire earlier, and to give more weight to maternity leave, while employers were wary of concessions that could weigh on the system's finances. Bayrou, a centrist and long-time debt hawk, had called the union-employer talks in a bid to prevent the Socialists withdrawing their support for him.

Ensemble VC Launches Comprehensive AI Tool to derisk venture capital investments, With Partners Ranging From Sand Hill Road VCs to Silicon Valley's Top Lawyers
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ensemble VC has developed and deployed a comprehensive system to derisk venture capital investments, with partners ranging from Sand Hill Road VCs to Silicon Valley's most respected law firm. Ensemble co-founder and data scientist Gopi Sundaramurthy spent five years developing 'Unity,' which ranks prospective portfolio company teams based on hundreds of objective data points. Unity then ranks teams — including teams with first-time founders — according to their likelihood of commercial success. Unity can then also help portfolio companies build teams with people most likely to excel in their roles, whether in biomanufacturing, machine learning engineering, downstream processing, go-to-market strategy, marketing and communication, HR or other functions. 'Leading venture capitalists are betting their limited partners' money on AI entrepreneurs. But the VC industry, for the most part, hasn't used AI itself to improve performance across all three major functions of its own industry — sourcing, selecting and servicing portfolio companies,' said Dr. Gopi Sundaramurthy, co-founder of Ensemble VC, former Head of Data Science at the Kauffman Fellows VC Fund, and the first data scientist at IBM Watson Health. 'We decided to tackle the trifecta.' VC firms Draper Associates, Boost, Overmatch and others are already collaborating with Ensemble to use the tool, which can be trained on specific investment niches — from SaaS to military tech, fusion and space exploration. And Silicon Valley's preeminent law firm, Wilson Sonsini, is also using Unity to assess which startup clients to pursue. 'No matter how vast your network, human constraints always limited your network and thus your deal flow and potential,' said Tim Draper, the third-generation VC and founder of Draper Associates (formerly DFJ), Draper University, and the hit TV show, Meet The Drapers. His investments include Baidu, Hotmail, Tesla, SpaceX, AngelList, SolarCity, Ring, Twitter, DocuSign, Coinbase and Robinhood. 'Unity helps eliminate the human constraints.' Derisking VC Unity scrapes millions of points on the Internet — from yesterday's X posts and SEC filings to alma maters, obscure details on LinkedIn, and stock performance on secondary markets — to assess founders, team members and anyone else on an early-stage team. Ensemble's system instantly generates navigable market maps, tracking deep networks of investors, employees, and founders as they move across industries. Unity searches dynamically — by investor, company, geography, and sector — ensuring that the firm doesn't miss entrepreneurs or their seed-stage, high-performing startups simply because they don't yet fit pre-existing patterns. Unity also tracks where talent is moving. The data platform provides a real-time view of technical talent flow, anticipating industry shifts before they materialize. This combination of direct technical experience and proprietary data insights gives Unity users an unmatched ability to spot and back the best companies before the market catches up. About Ensemble VC Ensemble VC is an early-stage investor based in Austin, TX. The firm takes a product-centric approach to investing, leveraging the firm's comprehensive data platform to intelligently and scalably support founders. Ensemble invests early in highly technical emerging technologies that span from AI to defense technology. For more information about Ensemble, please visit

Ensemble and Cohere Launch End-to-End Agentic AI Platform for Integrated Revenue Cycle Orchestration
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ensemble, the industry leader in end-to-end revenue cycle management (RCM), today announced the launch of a transformational agentic AI platform for RCM in partnership with Cohere, the leading security-first enterprise AI company. This platform combines Cohere's AI engineering expertise and robust security standards with Ensemble's proven revenue cycle performance to elevate the results Ensemble delivers for hospitals and health systems — improving revenue yield, reducing friction and elevating the patient experience. This marks the first healthcare deployment of Cohere North, a secure enterprise-grade agentic AI infrastructure, purpose-built for complex, regulated environments. Trained on over a decade of Ensemble's award-winning performance data and embedded deeply within its operational workflows, the platform enables AI agents to reason, learn, and act across the full revenue cycle in real time. 'We're integrating agentic orchestration into our end-to-end RCM model to ensure every action taken across the revenue cycle by our operators or agents reflects our proven best practices and highest performance standards,' said Judson Ivy, Founder and CEO of Ensemble. 'Instead of training and deploying modular AI to address fragments of the revenue cycle, our clients get the benefit of AI-powered performance and rapid revenue improvement at scale from a single partner they can count on to deliver results.' Enterprise AI Orchestration in Action Unlike traditional vertical AI tools or agents that automate isolated tasks, Ensemble is integrating agentic capabilities horizontally across the entire revenue cycle, from front-end authorization and patient access to back-end collections and denials. These agents learn from every interaction, continuously reinforcing upstream improvements to reduce friction, prevent denials, and accelerate revenue. The first network of agents, co-developed with Cohere, is focused on managing the most complex and fragmented part of the cycle — insurance reimbursement. Powered by advanced reasoning models and a human-in-the-loop safety framework, these agents can interpret account nuances, take multi-step actions, coordinate across Ensemble's AI ecosystem and learn from operational feedback to successfully resolve accounts. Initially, these agents are expected to manage at least 40% of AR follow-up tasks that previously required human intervention, with plans to scale significantly through reinforced learning. Ensemble has active pilots underway to deploy integrated agents to manage other complex processes, including authorization management, utilization management, coding and denial prevention. These agents orchestrate actions across Ensemble's growing suite of AI-powered solutions, including clinically trained generative AI for denial appeals, conversational AI for patient engagement, predictive models to prevent denials, and agent assistants to support frontline staff. Together, these solutions are delivering significant results, including accelerating denial appeals by 40%, improving denial overturn rates by 15%, helping patients resolve inbound calls 35% faster and improving overall patient satisfaction. Ensemble's AI orchestration enhances the functionality of client host systems and ensures the electronic health record (EHR) system remains the source of truth by leveraging Ensemble's data and operational excellence to deliver rich insights and actions. This approach delivers on the promise of Ensemble's scale without sacrificing its clients' significant EHR investments. Powered by Cohere's Secure AI Infrastructure Ensemble selected Cohere for its unmatched ability to deploy secure, enterprise-grade AI in highly regulated environments. Cohere North enables Ensemble to build and deploy agents that integrate seamlessly with provider host systems, payer portals and internal tools — while maintaining HIPAA compliance and data security at every layer. "Working with Ensemble to bring secure AI into healthcare — where data privacy is a deeply personal issue — is an incredible opportunity. Their industry leadership, data foundation, and forward-thinking approach make them an ideal partner to enter the industry," said Ivan Zhang, Co-Founder of Cohere. "By working together, we're setting a new standard for tackling some of healthcare's toughest administrative challenges, and showing how agentic AI makes a real-world difference." About Ensemble Ensemble is the leading provider of integrated revenue cycle operations in healthcare, trusted by 28 health systems nationwide to manage $40 billion in annual net patient revenue.
