Using AI to build battery value chains is vital for West – Monolith [includes podcast]
China has amassed a considerable global competitive lead in developing automotive battery tech and associated supply chains, according to an executive from AI engineering specialist Monolith, speaking exclusively to Just Auto. London-based AI start-up Monolith says it is doubling down on its mission to reinvent battery development, presenting its ongoing work in developing its next generation of AI technology for battery R&D. At this year's Battery Show Europe, the company showcased its agentic battery expert – an AI tool being developed to act as a virtual scientific co-pilot for engineers tackling the toughest challenges in battery R&D. Speaking to Frankie Youd in the Just Auto podcast series, Marius Koestler - VP AI for Batteries at Monolith – described the challenges facing the global development of automotive batteries as an increasingly political-technical discussion for governments around the world to face up to.

'It has gone with LFP [Lithium Iron Phosphate] technology which is winning big-time, while Europe, the US, Korea and Japan are still mainly on NMC [Nickel Manganese Cobalt] tech.' However, Koestler also said that there is a huge opportunity to utilise AI solutions to speed up battery tech development times. 'China has amassed a huge supply chain presence when you look at high-growth companies like CATL, but it's a highly dynamic situation. AI solutions are becoming highly relevant to this space and how the world's major economies and industries will look in the future.' This embedded content is not available in your region.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Fracture Lore explained
(Image via Sandfall Interactive) In Clair Obscur Expedition 33 's haunting world, the city of Lumière engages the players with Fracture's lingering scars. It's a cataclysmic event that reshaped the city's destiny, birthing a terror cycle and binding the citizens to a mysterious force's orchestrated cruel ritual. While the survivors might cling to hope, the truth behind the event remains shrouded with despair. Here is all you need to know about the Fracture in Obscur Expedition 33. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Fracture led Lumière city to Isolation The origins of Fracture in Expedition 33 trackback 67 years ago, when a diety-like figure, the Paintress , emerged from the sea. With her, she brought the colossal Monolith on which she inscribed the number 100, sealing the fate of the city. The act severed Lumière city from the mainland to despair and isolation. Every year since then, the figure returns and reduces the number by 1, sealing the fates of ones whose age matches it. The city that was once a vibrant culture now revolves around the annual terror. The survivors live in the dread of Gommage, the macabre ceremony, where the marked individuals vanish in smoke and the flower petals. Despite the fear, the citizens of Lumière city have clung to hope, launching the expeditions to confront the Paintress. However, none returned. Expedition into the unknown with the cycle of despair and hope The first defiant stand of Lumière city against the Paintress started with Expedition 0. The volunteers vowed to dismantle the Monolith or defeat the creator of it. However, their fate is unknown. Over the 6 decades, all missions vanished without any trace. It left behind grief and rumors. Every failed attempt deepened the diminishing hope, and yet the people refused to surrender. The focus of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 embodies desperate perseverance. It is led by Gustave, the protagonist. The team seeks the answers that the others could not uncover. Yet the motives of Paintress and the purpose of Monolith remain elusive. Is she a trapped spirit or a vengeful god? The survival of Lumière city might hinge on unraveling such mysteries. Ritual of sacrifice and survival— The Gommage Every year, Gommage serves as the grim reminder of the grip of the Fracture. As the Paintress lowers the number of Monolithmonoliths, citizens of that age disintegrate instantly. The families mourn the loved ones who get lost while the survivors brace for their potential fate. The ritual underscores the fragility of Lumière, blending brutality with beauty. The cycle fuels division and unity. While some see Gommage as the divine punishment, others consider it the curse to break. Yet, all do agree on one truth: until the Paintress is stopped, Lumière will be the prisoner to her whims. Even though all the expeditions so far have been futile, they symbolize the refusal of the city to surrender. Now, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 unfolding, the players will have the chance to navigate the world where horror and history collide. The legacy of the Fracture, after all, is not just lore but is a living nightmare woven into the quests, dialogue, and festival quizzes that are shaping all choices. Only time can tell whether the expedition will succeed or join the predecessors.
