Twitch, a privately owned company founded in 2011 and headquartered in the US, is an online live streaming platform. Its primary business is software development, supporting the platform's functionality. As of a recent count, the company employs approximately 11,000 people.
On August 15, 2025, ACR Poker announced plans to live-stream final tables of its Phil's Thrill tournament, providing viewers with access to high-stakes poker action. An AI agent capable of co-hosting, producing, and troubleshooting livestreams was also developed, featuring a 3D avatar utilizing NVIDIA ACE and DLSS technologies. This agent aims to assist creators with various tasks during livestreams. These developments are unrelated to news from September 9, 2025, regarding Sigma360's expansion of its leadership team, or the August 22, 2025, announcement of TransPerfect's acquisition of Unbabel. Separately, multiple news organizations removed articles written by an alleged freelance journalist, Margaux Blanchard, later found to be AI-generated.
