Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin shake hands with a collector during the 45th National Sports Collectors Convention at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, July 31, 2025. Audrey Richardson | The Washington Post | Getty Images Sports merchandising giant Fanatics announced on Tuesday the launch of Fanatics Studios, a media and entertainment studio established as a joint venture with OBB Media . Fanatics Studios will create, produce and distribute content at the intersection of sports and culture, the company said in a release. This will include feature films, documentaries, scripted and unscripted content, live events and digital series. OBB Media founder and CEO Michael Ratner will serve as CEO of the company. "I'm incredibly excited about launching Fanatics Studios and adding an important content and media business to our growing sports platform that also supports all of our existing businesses," Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin said in a statement. Rubin acquired e-commerce site Fanatics in 2011 and has built the company into a cross-sector juggernaut. Fanatics has broadened its reach among sports fans through collectibles , sports betting , live shopping and events . Fanatics now employs more than 22,000 people and is valued at more than $30 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. The company expects $13 billion in revenue in 2026. Fanatics estimates the new content studio will record nine-figure revenue in its first year of operation, making it a meaningful part of the business, the person said. The company already has a slate of projects that includes serving as a content partner for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, a flag football tournament taking place in Saudi Arabia and a multipart documentary on seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Fanatics Studios will also do projects with ESPN, WWE and Major League Baseball, the company said. "Together, we are going to continue pushing our mission of relentlessly enhancing the fan expe...

In this article CRM Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff delivers the keynote address at the start of the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco on Oct. 14, 2025. Jessica Christian | San Francisco Chronicle | Getty Images Salesforce is bolstering its Slack app with generative artificial intelligence to help users find relevant information and sort through the mountains of communication chaos. After announcing plans in October to bring generative AI to Slackbot, its virtual assistant, Salesforce said on Tuesday that it will become available to Business+ and Enterprise+ Slack subscribers. "Because it lives inside Slack, Slackbot understands your conversations, files, channels, and the people you work with," the company said in a blog post. "It only sees what you can see, always respecting your permissions and access controls." Slackbot can find data in Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, Box , Atlassian's Confluence and other services. It's using Anthropic's Claude model, though Salesforce is testing alternatives, co-founder and technology chief Parker Harris told CNBC. While the artificial intelligence boom has lifted the fortunes of tech companies ranging from chipmakers like Nvidia and Broadcom to internet giant Google , Wall Street has remained skeptical of how Salesforce and other enterprise software companies will fare, and whether some of them will ultimately be displaced. Salesforce's stock price is down 18% in the past year, compared with the the Nasdaq's 24% gain over that stretch. Harris said that large language models, and the many popular coding agents that are now running atop them, are not disrupting cloud software. And services like OpenAI's ChatGPT aren't hooked into corporate systems. "People who say, 'oh I could vibe code up Slack and Salesforce now, and my AI is just going to do it all for me' are crazy," said Harris, who's been focusing on Slack in recent years. Salesforce bought Slack for $27.1 billion in 2021,...

Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot , the company's workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees. The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, is Salesforce's most aggressive move yet to position Slack at the center of the emerging "agentic AI" movement — where software agents work alongside humans to complete complex tasks. The launch comes as Salesforce attempts to convince investors that artificial intelligence will bolster its products rather than render them obsolete. "Slackbot isn't just another copilot or AI assistant," said Parker Harris , Salesforce co-founder and Slack's chief technology officer, in an exclusive interview with Salesforce. "It's the front door to the agentic enterprise, powered by Salesforce." From tricycle to Porsche: Salesforce rebuilt Slackbot from the ground up Harris was blunt about what distinguishes the new Slackbot from its predecessor: "The old Slackbot was, you know, a little tricycle, and the new Slackbot is like, you know, a Porsche." The original Slackbot, which has existed since Slack's early days, performed basic algorithmic tasks — reminding users to add colleagues to documents, suggesting channel archives, and delivering simple notifications. The new version runs on an entirely different architecture built around a large language model and sophisticated search capabilities that can access Salesforce records, Google Drive files, calendar data, and years of Slack conversations. "It's two different things," Harris explained. "The old Slackbot was algorithmic and fairly simple. The new Slackbot is brand new — it's based around an LLM and a very robust search engine, and connections to third-party search engines, third-party enterprise data." Salesforce chose to retain the Slackbo...

Fans of Normal People and One Day will adore The New Years, which follows a relatable on-off couple in Madrid. It is the best relationship drama you haven’t seen yet It is rare to watch a fictional romance and feel genuinely invested in the question of will-they-won’t-they – and even rarer for it to reflect familiar relationship turbulence. Many love stories on TV skip straight to wish-fulfilment, delivering instant chemistry, no challenges that can’t be overcome within the runtime and glib reassurance that Love Conquers All. Netflix’s Nobody Wants This , for instance – based on a real couple, and ostensibly exploring whether a relationship can survive differences of faith – didn’t wait to resolve that question before bringing its leads together. In real life, promising connections fall at much lower hurdles, for such banal reasons as incompatible schedules. Continue reading...

In an impressive feat, Japanese startup Sakana AI’s coding agent ALE-Agent recently secured first place in the AtCoder Heuristic Contest (AHC058), a complex coding competition that involves complicated optimization problems — and a more difficult and perhaps telling challenge than benchmarks like HumanEval, which mostly test the ability to write isolated functions, and which many AI models and agents now regularly pass with ease ("benchmark saturation"). Sakana's accomplishment with ALE-Agent hints at a shift toward agents capable of autonomously optimizing themselves to navigate and perform well in complex, dynamic systems such as enterprise software stacks, workflows, and operational environments. In four hours, the agent used inference-time scaling to generate, test, and iterate over hundreds of solutions, solving a problem that typically requires deep intuition and time-consuming trial and error from human experts. It outperformed over 800 human participants, including top-tier competitive programmers. How ALE-Agent works The challenge in AHC058 was a classic combinatorial optimization problem. Participants were tasked with managing a set of machines with hierarchical relationships, such as machines that produce apples, and other machines that build those apple-producing machines. The goal was to maximize output over a fixed number of turns. In the enterprise world, this workflow usually follows a strict pattern: a domain expert works with a client to define an "objective function" (aka the Scorer), and then engineers build a software system to optimize it. These problems are notoriously difficult because they cannot be solved in a single stage. They require exploration, strategy, and the ability to pivot when a plan isn't working. Human experts typically approach this using a two-stage strategy. First, they use a "Greedy" method (a lightweight solver that makes the best immediate choice at each step) to generate a decent baseline solution. Then, they apply " si...
