Data released Friday showed U.S. factory output unexpectedly fell in August as input costs rose and firms slowed equipment production. Manufacturing output declined 0.3% in August versus a median economist forecast for a 0.3% gain. Overall industrial production, which includes mining and utilities, was flat. Utility output rose 1.8%; mining ticked up slightly.

AI spatial-data firm Vangrid says the constraint for embodied intelligence is not capturing more real-world imagery but turning raw phone photos into computable, traceable and settlement-ready spatial assets. It outlines an end-to-end capture–process–verify–retrieve–settle stack: edge devices handle collection; cloud compute performs privacy filtering and 3D reconstruction; an EAS layer records provenance and processing commitments; Base manages contributor incentives and transaction settlement. Vangrid frames the economic value as continuously updated spatial-data flows that reflect roadworks, building changes and object movement, not one-off 3D models.
