Abliteration.ai says it is talking with venture investors

Abliteration.ai says it has not raised venture money but is now in talks to do so. No investor, amount, or deal terms are known.

Why it matters

Funding could help this guardrail-free model service grow faster. It would also bring sharper safety checks from investors and cloud partners.

The Bruins may be willing to trade Henri Jokiharju

A league source says Boston may move Henri Jokiharju as it sorts out a crowded defense. The Bruins have not confirmed talks or a possible return.

Why it matters

A deal could clear a roster spot for a younger defender. Derek should watch whether Boston seeks scoring help or simple cap room.

RankInPublic founder claims monthly revenue reached $11,000 to $17,000

Founder Antonio Escudero says RankInPublic now makes between $11,000 and $17,000 per month. He says only about $1,000 is recurring, and the figures are self-reported.

Why it matters

The real lesson is that one-time directory services can outsell the software subscription. That cash is useful, but it is less steady than true recurring revenue.

Garrett Crochet may return to the Red Sox for the playoffs

Garrett Crochet completed a second bullpen session while working back from a shoulder injury. Boston says a playoff return is possible if he keeps passing each step.

Why it matters

A healthy Crochet would change Boston's playoff pitching plan. His next throwing tests matter more than any target date right now.
