Vexcel has launched Custom Elements, an AI object detection product that identifies objects across its aerial imagery library in more than 45 countries and territories without custom model training.

Vexcel has launched Custom Elements, an AI powered object detection product for its aerial imagery library in more than 45 countries and territories, the company announced in a press release.

Custom Elements lets customers name objects such as propane tanks, putting greens, telephone poles, boats, docks, and utility poles. The product returns each object's location and segmentation polygon across Vexcel imagery.

Vexcel said the product works without custom model training. It uses the company's aerial imagery, which includes 7.5 cm to 15 cm resolution coverage across urban and rural areas.

Custom Elements also adds object detection for oblique aerial imagery. Vexcel collects that imagery at a 45 degree angle from four cardinal directions at 7.5 cm resolution, covering building facades, vertical structures, and objects that overhead imagery may not show.

The product is part of Vexcel Intelligence and is available through Vexcel Studio, Vexcel APIs, and Vexcel MCP.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
