Threads is working on a community groups feature
Threads is working on a new community feature that will seemingly allow users to group together around particular topics and interests, TechCrunch reports. Developer Chris Messina spotted references to “Loops” in the code for Threads’ latest app update, which vaguely describes something similar to the “Communities” feature on X or even subreddits.
The code mentions things like the ability to join and leave a Loop community, and giving it a name and bio. The discovery builds upon sleuthing done earlier by developer and established leaker Alessandro Paluzzi, who found examples showing what the Loops feature might look like inside the Threads app, including “a shortcut to the composer and the home header.” One screenshot shows a speech bubble icon — identified by Paluzzi as the Loops button — next to the notifications bell at the top right of the app.
Details about Loops are thin, and Meta’s lips are sealed — in a statement to TechCrunch, an unidentified Instagram spokesperson said the feature was “in early development” and is not being tested internally or externally “at this time.”
It isn’t clear how Loops will work as Threads doesn’t use traditional hashtags, instead allowing users to tag their posts with a single topic or phrase, such as “Tech Threads” or “Sports Threads.” These can be pretty generalized though, so Loops might make it easier to follow and interact with more specific topics when (or if) it does roll out.

Sweden’s Northvolt on Wednesday said the head of its main plant, Europe’s first homegrown gigafactory for lithium-ion battery cells, will step down with immediate effect.
It comes shortly after the cash-strapped company announced plans to reduce its workforce by about 25% in Sweden as part of a major cost-cutting drive.
Mark Duchesne, CEO of Northvolt Ett, will be replaced on an interim basis by Angéline J. Bilodeau, the firm’s vice president of operations in North America, the company said in a statement.
The position will be held until the end of the year as the company seeks to secure a permanent replacement for CEO of Northvolt Ett, it added.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Northvolt is one of Europe’s most valuable privately held tech firms that builds lithium-ion batteries for the electric vehicle industry. It has partnerships with a number of major European automakers, including Volkswagen and Volvo.
In an update published Sept. 23, Northvolt said that following initial steps taken as part of a strategic review, the company had revised its scope of operations in Sweden “to ensure that its resources are focused on accelerating production in large-scale cell manufacturing at Northvolt Ett.”
The strategic action required the company to cut a total of 1,600 jobs in Sweden, Northvolt said.

Alongside plans to lay off staff, Northvolt said at the time that it would suspend plans for a sizable expansion of Northvolt Ett, noting the project had been intended to provide an additional 30 gigawatt hours of annual cell manufacturing capacity.
On Tuesday, a Northvolt Ett subsidiary filed for bankruptcy following the decision to suspend the expansion project — an update that underscores the group’s deepening financial struggles.
Separately, Swedish automaker Volvo Cars on Wednesday announced deputy CEO Björn Annwall will step down from his current role as part of a management reshuffle.
The reorganization at Volvo Cars comes shortly after the firm scrapped its near-term goal of selling only electric vehicles, citing a need to be “pragmatic and flexible” amid changing market conditions and cooling demand.

Alation on Wednesday unveiled an AI governance suite aimed at enabling enterprises improve returns on their increasing investments in AI and machine learning projects by using secure trusted data.
The set of tools includes AI documentation and collaboration capabilities, auditable AI lineage and traceability, compliance and risk mitigation features and expert guidance — including best practices — as customers develop models and applications.
Enterprise interest in developing AI, fueled by the explosion of interest in generative AI over the past two years, is increasing. Just as rising interest in self-service analytics required enterprises to develop data governance frameworks over the past 10 to 20 years, widespread use of AI tools requires AI governance frameworks, according to Doug Henschen, an analyst at Constellation Research.
Data and AI governance frameworks are sets of guidelines that enable organizations to protect themselves from regulatory violations as they use data and AI tools to inform decisions and automate processes. Simultaneously, they enable employees to confidently use data and AI tools in their workflows.
Vendors such as Alation and Collibra have long provided data governance capabilities to provide organizations with assurance as they operationalize their data. As the use of AI capabilities increases, it makes sense for vendors to provide similar governance capabilities for operationalizing AI.
“Being a data-driven activity, the development of AI must be governed as rigorously as we govern our data, so it’s a natural extension of data governance programs,” Henschen said. “Organizations need help with these challenges, so it’s good to see metadata management — a.k.a. data intelligence — vendors adding functionality to address AI-specific risks and emerging regulatory requirements.”
Likewise, Stewart Bond, an analyst at IDC, said that there’s a real need for AI governance as enterprises increasingly rely on AI tools.
Much of the need is related to the underlying data used to train and maintain models and applications, including protecting sensitive information that needs to be kept confidential and ensuring that enterprises only use quality data, to reduce the likelihood of incorrect and potentially toxic outcomes.
“AI governance is critical,” Bond said. “Research IDC has done shows that many of the issues that drive the need for AI governance are data governance related. Without governance, laws may be broken, sensitive information leaked, or incorrect outcomes will happen, such as hallucinations.”
Based in Redwood City, Calif., Alation is a data catalog specialist whose Data Intelligence Platform enables customers to integrate and organize data from disparate sources to train AI models and applications and inform data products.
In addition to Collibra, competitors include Atlan and Informatica, among others.
Enterprise interest in AI has exploded over the past two years, sparked by OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. ChatGPT represented a significant increase in generative AI capabilities, which has only been improved upon since ChatGPT’s introduction with myriad other tech vendors also launching generative AI models and OpenAI continually adding its own updates. Key capabilities powered by generative AI models used with an enterprise’s proprietary data include true natural language processing that enables users of all skill levels to work with data and process automation.
Given those benefits, enterprises have responded by developing generative AI capabilities such as AI assistants that enable users to converse with their data and tools that automate coding, documentation and other repetitive tasks. They have also responded by developing more traditional AI and machine learning models and applications.
Meanwhile, vendors such as Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, Google Cloud and many others have built environments to make it easier for customers to develop AI tools.
With AI becoming more ubiquitous — and potentially becoming the primary means of consuming data and informing decisions — enterprises need to ensure that their AI tools are properly trained and used. Enter AI governance.
Enterprises can develop their own AI governance tools, just as they can build their own analytics and data management systems. But just as it’s often easier to use analytics and data management tools provided by a vendor, it’s also simpler to use AI governance capabilities provided by a specialist.
Collibra responded to rising demand for AI governance by launching Collibra AI Governance in April. Alation is now taking a similar approach with a suite Bond called “a significant addition for Alation customers and a logical step in Alation’s evolution.”
Intelligence about data has historically been Alation’s focus. The vendor’s AI governance capabilities extend that to intelligence about models. “Aligning data intelligence with model intelligence can help assure the right data is being used with the right model, at the right time, for the right reason, and within regulatory constraints,” Bond said. “This is what Alation is enabling.”
Alation’s AI governance suite includes the following capabilities:
Of particular note are the model lineage capabilities, according to Henschen. While other vendors are also addressing AI governance, visibility into specific training data and prompt engineering is a potential differentiator for Alation.
“I’ve seen AI governance-related announcements from rivals including Collibra, but Alation is unique in announcing training-data-specific, prompt-specific and model-specific capabilities,” Henschen said.
Motivation for developing an AI governance suite came from both customer feedback as well as Alation’s own observation of market conditions, according to Satyen Sangani, the vendor’s co-founder and CEO. In terms of market conditions, the combination of rising adoption in AI and new regulations provided a push.
“The urgency for AI governance has escalated due to new regulatory pressures and increased AI adoption,” Sangani said. “Legislation … underscores a growing mandate for companies to track, manage and understand their AI deployments.”
Customers, meanwhile, are increasingly aware of the costs related to ungoverned AI models and applications, he continued.
“Customers consistently highlight the need for reliable, AI-ready data to mitigate risks, support compliance and remain competitive amid tightening regulations and growing public scrutiny,” Sangani said. With Alation’s AI governance suite now available, Alation’s roadmap is focused on adding AI capabilities that make data curation and data discovery easier and more efficient, according to Sangani.
In addition, knowing that data management can be challenging, the vendor aims to provide new tools to help customers use data to inform their most valuable projects, he said.
Henschen, meanwhile, said that while Alation’s AI governance capabilities address some aspects of the model development process, others are not covered by the suite.
As a result, the vendor would be wise to update its AI governance toolkit with new features through product development and integrations with partners. “There’s a lot to the model development lifecycle, so … there are more capabilities that could be delivered and integrations yet to be created for market-leading model and service development products and platforms,” Henschen said.
Bond similarly noted that Alation has room to add more features to its AI governance suite. For example, government policies for AI are likely to become more stringent. As those new policies emerge, Alation will have an opportunity to add new capabilities.
“We are just starting to scratch the surface of what is needed, and can be done, in AI governance,” Bond said.

Amazon’s October Prime Day deals continue to flood the internet during day two of the sale. One of the best deals we’ve found is on the Dyson V15 Detect Plus cordless vacuum: Prime members can grab it for $570, which represents a discount of $180. The V15 Detect topped our list of the best cordless vacuums for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the suction power is impressive. This is arguably the most important feature for any vacuum, cordless or not, and this Dyson delivers. We were consistently shocked by how much cat hair was hiding in the carpet during our tests.
Dyson
The “Detect” in the model’s name refers to a light embedded within the Fluffy Optic cleaning head, which is a brush roll intended for hard floors. This helps illuminate patches of dust and debris build ups, so the vacuum can do its job on the first pass. It’s worth noting that this model ships with other head attachments, but they don’t include the same light.
There’s also a nifty LCD screen that lets users know exactly what’s being sucked up into the machine, with data on the size and frequency of debris particles. This isn’t really necessary, but it’s fun to see all of the gunk being removed from a home during a cleaning session. The V15 Detect even ships with a piezo sensor that automatically adjusts the internal engine depending on how dirty the floors are.
This is a slightly upgraded version of the V15 Detect, thus the “Plus” in the name. There’s an improved filter with this one that promises to trap “99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.”
