  • Loxo Doubles Down on Talent Intelligence to Help Recruiting Firms Achieve Repeatable Success

    Loxo, the AI recruiting platform purpose-built for direct hire and executive search firms, announced today a renewed focus on Talent Intelligence.

    Great software alone doesn’t create Talent Intelligence, and neither does a standardized process in isolation. You need both. Loxo delivers that outcome by design.”
    — Matt Chambers, Founder & CEO at Loxo

    AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Loxo, the AI recruiting platform purpose-built for direct hire and executive search firms, announced today a renewed focus on Talent Intelligence—a modern operating model that helps recruiting firms move from ad hoc execution to repeatable, scalable performance.

    As AI continues to saturate the market, Loxo’s stance is that true Talent Intelligence matters more than ever.

    “Many recruiting firms run on hero recruiters, improvised processes, and disconnected tools,” said Matt Chambers, Founder and CEO at Loxo. “Talent Intelligence is about changing that. It’s how firms align their people, data, and workflow so quality becomes consistent, productivity compounds, and leadership gains real visibility into what’s working and why.”

    From tools and improvisation to intelligence by design

    Loxo addresses a core challenge facing recruiting firms today: while technology stacks have grown more complex and AI adoption has accelerated, many firms still lack a shared workflow—and a reliable way to turn activity into insight.

    According to Loxo, Talent Intelligence requires two components working in lockstep:

    A smart platform that is easy to use, increases recruiter productivity, and incorporates AI strategically and intentionally—not as a bolt-on feature, but as infrastructure.

    A repeatable workflow that aligns the entire team around defined best practices, creates visibility into performance and bottlenecks, and eliminates reliance on one-off hacks or shortcuts.

    When combined, these elements bring a firm’s data and workflow into a continuous feedback loop—enabling better decisions, cleaner execution, and more predictable growth.

    “Great software alone doesn’t create Talent Intelligence, and neither does a standardized process in isolation,” added Chambers. “You need both. Loxo delivers that outcome by design.”

    Talent Intelligence built into the platform

    Loxo is built specifically for recruiting firms, with an embedded, end-to-end workflow that spans sourcing, outreach, submissions, pipeline movement, and outcomes—all in one system. This approach makes every search observable and measurable, giving leaders the ability to identify what’s working, where searches are getting stuck, and which levers to pull when performance slips.

    Rather than stitching together multiple tools and workflows, Loxo enables teams to adopt a shared framework that is easier to implement, easier to maintain, and easier to learn from over time.

    Firms running on Talent Intelligence can quickly identify high-performing roles, markets, channels, and clients; ramp new hires faster; reduce restarts; stabilize time-to-shortlist and time-to-fill; and support client conversations with real data and market insight instead of anecdotes.

    Workflow, platform, and AI are three critical levers for recruiters—and while other vendors in the space may provide two of the three, Loxo is the only comprehensive vendor that provides all three in one place.

    AI as architecture—not an add-on

    As part of this rollout, Loxo has also clarified its approach to AI. While many platforms rely on generic large language models layered on top of existing systems, Loxo was built on proprietary AI from the ground up.

    Loxo was one of the first recruiting platforms built on proprietary AI, not around it.

    Under the hood, the recruiting platform has over 50 machine learning models trained specifically on recruiter behavior and workflows. That matters, because it’s what lets them deliver Talent Intelligence in a concrete way.

    Moreover: Loxo is on its sixth generation of proprietary machine learning. Since 2012, Loxo’s engineers have been developing AI models purpose-built for recruiters, designed from first-principles with a deep understanding of your core jobs-to-be-done. Loxo is not simply an interface layered on top of a third-party provider. Many tech providers who claim to be “AI-powered,” on the other hand, are relying on third-party vendors.

    Loxo also has a collection of AI agents that help with tasks like:
    – Writing outreach and follow-ups
    – Summarizing calls and notes
    – Drafting shortlists and updates

    ‍But at Loxo, the real intelligence is the layer underneath these agents:
    – Shared intelligence across modules
    – Insights anchored in your actual work
    – Models that continuously learn from recruiter behavior and search performance

    ‍That’s what turns AI from a bolt-on to a foundation for Talent Intelligence.

    “More AI for the sake of AI isn’t the goal, because AI amplifies whatever system it’s in,” said Chambers. “If you add it to a system that was already working, it will increase your success. But if you add it to a fragmented system, it will only amplify that fragmentation. At Loxo, we believe that AI is a critical part of the infrastructure that makes Talent Intelligence possible, but the real value comes from how it’s embedded into the workflow.”

    A recruiter’s foundation for predictable growth

    With renewed focus and clear direction, Loxo aims to help recruiting leaders move away from reactive, personality-driven execution and toward a system that scales what works.

    By uniting platform, workflow, and AI in one place, Loxo enables firms to deliver consistent quality, gain clear operational visibility, and build productivity that compounds—search after search.

    About Loxo
    Loxo is an AI recruiting platform built for growing professional recruiting firms worldwide. Loxo helps firm leaders scale by aligning their teams around a repeatable recruiting workflow, consolidating their full recruiting stack into one platform, and embedding AI intentionally & strategically.
    Loxo’s Talent Intelligence Platform includes a built-in end-to-end workflow, ATS, recruiting CRM, outreach (email, phone, SMS), candidate sourcing, sales CRM, account-based prospecting, and a suite of AI agents.

  • Abalone Bio & Mount Sinai Researchers Publish Preclinical Data on First CB2 Antibody Agonists in Molecular Pharmacology

    Peer-reviewed study characterizes in vitro and ex vivo activities of novel antibody agonists generated using Abalone Bio’s FAST Platform

    EMERYVILLE, CA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Abalone Bio, the only antibody drug company measuring large-scale activity data to drive AI-powered discovery of active antibody treatments for challenging diseases, today announced the peer-reviewed publication of preclinical data describing the first publicly reported functional characterization of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) activating antibody agonists, AB120 and AB150. The study, conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, has been published in Molecular Pharmacology.

    The publication presents the first in-depth characterization of the only antibody agonists of CB2 and represents a significant milestone in G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) and antibody drug development.

    Detailed in vitro and ex vivo studies reported in Molecular Pharmacology demonstrate that AB120 and AB150 exhibit robust anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities, including potent suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and significant reductions in collagen expression in human precision-cut liver slices (hPCLS), an advanced and clinically relevant model of liver fibrosis.

    “The anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities produced by Abalone Bio’s CB2 agonist antibodies in precision-cut human liver slices represent a mechanism of action distinct from—and potentially complementary with—existing therapies, and point the way to improved therapies for advanced liver fibrosis,” said Scott L. Friedman, MD, Dean for Collaborative Research and Partnerships and Director of the Mount Sinai Institute for Liver Research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Co-Investigator, NIH/NIDDK SBIR grant 2R44DK125191-02; and paid consultant to Abalone Bio.

    The study further highlights the specificity and potency of AB120 and AB150 for CB2 over CB1, a key advantage of antibody therapeutics over traditional small molecules to avoid unwanted CB1 receptor activation, a source of psychotropic and pro-inflammatory or pro-fibrotic side effects. Inherent exclusion of larger molecule drugs like antibodies from the CNS by the blood-brain barrier offers an additional layer of protection from side effects.

    “This peer-reviewed publication represents the first public validation of molecules from our metabolic and I&I pipeline and demonstrates the pharmacological activities—including agonism—that we can access with antibodies produced by our FAST platform,” said Richard Yu, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Abalone Bio. “Our ‘Function First’ platform is not biased or constrained by the need for existing structural data, but rather focuses on the only thing that ultimately matters—the functional activity of molecules.”

    Abalone Bio is advancing its internal pipeline of metabolic disease therapies while continuing to expand its portfolio of strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical companies leveraging the FAST platform to address hard-to-drug targets. The publication further validates Abalone Bio’s FAST platform as a scalable approach to discovering functionally active antibodies against complex targets such as GPCRs.

    About Abalone Bio

    Abalone Bio is revolutionizing antibody drug discovery by addressing one of the most challenging problems in pharma: the functional modulation—especially activation—of hard-to-drug membrane proteins, starting with G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Through its proprietary Functional Antibody Selection Technology (FAST), Abalone Bio is the only company measuring functional activity data at scale to uniquely leverage AI to create functionally active antibodies. Abalone Bio’s next-generation biologic therapies, starting in metabolic disorders and inflammation, are transforming the landscape of drug discovery.

  • 2026 Used Car Market Trends Forecast by Indy Auto Man Dealership

    Indy Auto Man shares its 2026 used car market forecast, highlighting trends, pricing shifts, and how Indiana drivers can find top-value auto amid changing terms

    We are going to show Indiana buyers more choices and better deals in 2026 as inventory rises and hybrid demand grows, making this year especially favorable for value-focused shoppers.”
    — Eugene Gorin, co-founder of Indy Auto Man dealership

    INDIANAPOLIS, IN, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As Indiana drivers gear up for a new year of change in the automotive world, Indy Auto Man has released its 2026 used car market forecast — a guide to help Indiana buyers make smarter choices and discover quality used cars that truly fit their needs and budgets.

    After years of price swings and supply disruptions, 2025 brought a welcome sense of balance back to the used car market. According to internal sales data from Indy Auto Man, pre-owned vehicle prices in Indiana declined approximately 6% year over year, bringing the average rate closer to pre-pandemic levels. Demand grew strongest for mid-sized SUVs and crossovers, especially models like the Chevrolet Equinox, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CR-V, which remain top picks for 2026 for their practical designs, solid reliability, and strong resale performance.

    Sedans also regained traction in 2025, comprising nearly 22% of total Indy Auto Man sales, a 5% increase from 2024, with the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima leading the category. Meanwhile, pickup trucks remained steady, accounting for about 20% of dealership sales, driven by consistent interest in the RAM 1500, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ford F-150.

    “Customers are becoming more deliberate,” Victor Figlin, General Manager at Indy Auto Man, noted. “People are comparing total ownership costs, not just sticker prices, and we’re seeing Indiana buyers rediscover the value of dependable sedans and efficient crossovers.”

    2026 Market Outlook: More Supply, Shifting Preferences
    According to Indy Auto Man’s forecast, all signs point to 2026 being a buyer’s year, as inventory levels improve and early trade-ins from first-generation electric models add to the pool of used options across Indiana. With new 2026 EV releases such as the Hyundai Ioniq 7, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Toyota bZ5X expected to debut this year, used models from 2021 to 2024 are projected to experience moderate depreciation, making them more attractive for budget-conscious shoppers seeking modern tech without high EV price tags.

    At the same time, the dealership expects demand for hybrid models to rise. In 2025, inquiries about hybrid models were already up 28%, driven mainly by commuters seeking to cut fuel costs amid expectations of rising gas prices in mid-2026.

    Mr. Figlin stated, “We anticipate a strong year for hybrid SUVs and compact cars. Vehicles like the Ford Escape Hybrid are hitting that sweet spot between comfort, technology, and economy. We’re increasing our inventory specifically in these segments to meet the growing demand.”

    How 2026 New Releases Will Impact Used Car Values
    The entry of several refreshed models in 2026, including the redesigned Honda Accord, Chevrolet Traverse, and Tesla Model 3 Highland, is expected to reshape used-car pricing across adjacent categories. As automakers roll out new 2026 versions, models from 2022 through 2025 are expected to drop about 8–12% in value – good news for shoppers chasing nearly new vehicles with updated safety tech and premium features.

    For example, the release of Tesla’s updated design language could compel a market adjustment on older trim levels, making the current generation of electric sedans more attainable for Indiana drivers. Similarly, new crossovers entering the market will push prices down in mid-size and compact SUV segments – traditionally the most competitive categories in Indiana.

    Driving Forward: Indy Auto Man’s Customer-First Mission
    Even as the market shifts, Indy Auto Man’s focus remains steady – helping Hoosier drivers find cars they will love and trust, not just whatever happens to be on the lot. The dealership’s focus is not just on volume but on meaningful customer relationships, and this philosophy resonates in the dealer’s reputation.

    Indy Auto Man enters 2026 with an expanded selection of over 600 pre-owned vehicles across its Indianapolis and Westfield locations, including low-mileage models from 20+ major brands, such as BMW, Ford, Toyota, Jeep, and Honda. Each vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection and is backed by a 7-day exchange guarantee, providing buyers with peace of mind at every step.

    About Indy Auto Man
    Founded in 2008, Indy Auto Man is a leading pre-owned automotive dealer with car lots in Indianapolis and recently opened one in Westfield. The dealership is known for its integrity, wide selection of vehicles from top manufacturers worldwide, and customer-focused approach. Indy Auto Man currently holds a 4.9-star rating on Google with over 6,000 verified reviews. The dealer has also been recognized for six consecutive years as one of Indianapolis’ Three Best Rated used car dealerships, honoring its commitment to quality, ethics, and customer trust.

  • Stakeholder Launches College Basketball Fan Market Ahead of March Madness

    New CBB market expands Stakeholder’s fan engagement platform ahead of the postseason

    ALEXANDRIA, VA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Stakeholder today announced the launch of its College Basketball (CBB) Market, expanding its fan-focused sports platform ahead of March Madness.

    The CBB market allows users to participate in continuous, team-based markets tied to college basketball programs. Market pricing dynamically reflects performance indicators such as rankings, wins, losses, and season momentum. Unlike traditional betting formats that reset after each game, Stakeholder’s markets operate across the full season and beyond, allowing fans to engage with teams over time.

    “College basketball is uniquely dynamic,” said Derek Peterson, Co-Founder of Stakeholder. “Rankings shift quickly, storylines evolve weekly, and fans follow the data closely. We wanted to create a structured way for fans to express their belief.”

    A NEW WAY TO ENGAGE WITH COLLEGE BASKETBALL

    Stakeholder’s CBB markets are continuous and season-long, enabling users to:
    • Participate in team-based markets that adjust based on rankings and fan sentiment
    • Track pricing movement and historical performance
    • Hold positions across multiple seasons, conference tournaments, and March Madness

    Early markets include top Division I programs, with plans to expand coverage throughout the season.

    CONTENT INTEGRATION WITH SLEEPERS MEDIA

    In connection with the CBB launch, Stakeholder has entered into a content provider agreement with Sleepers Media, an independent college basketball media brand known for year-round coverage.

    Sleepers Media content and analysis will be integrated into Stakeholder’s platform to provide additional context alongside team market data and performance trends. The collaboration is intended to connect market information directly with ongoing college basketball coverage.

    BUILT FOR FANS, ANALYSTS, AND CREATORS

    Stakeholder combines structured team markets, performance data, and media integration into a unified sports platform. Team pages aggregate pricing history, ranking movement, and related analysis to support informed engagement by fans and content creators.

    The College Basketball launch follows Stakeholder’s earlier college football beta and coincides with expanded creator collaborations focused on integrating team market data into broader college sports discussions.

    LOOKING AHEAD

    With March Madness approaching, Stakeholder expects increased engagement as fans react to rankings movement, conference play outcomes, and tournament performance.

    “This is about enhancing fandom,” Peterson added. “We’re building tools that allow fans to follow teams in a more structured and data-driven way.”

    The College Basketball Market is live at stak3holder.com.

    ABOUT STAKEHOLDER

    Stakeholder is a sports engagement platform that enables users to participate in continuous team-based markets across college athletics. The platform integrates pricing data, performance metrics, and media content to provide a structured fan experience.

  • EpitogenX and Attomarker Sign Strategic Co-Development Agreement to Advance Precision Immunology Diagnostics

    EpitogenX and Attomarker sign co-development agreement to advance precision immunology diagnostics in multiple diseases including Lyme Disease and Long Lyme

    Combining Attomarker’s advanced multiplex gold nanotechnology with EpitogenX’s antigen and epitope expertise, we can deliver rapid, quantitative immune diagnostics across a broader array of diseases.”
    — Professor Andrew Shaw, CEO & Chief Scientist

    EXETER, UNITED KINGDOM, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — EpitogenX Ltd and Attomarker Ltd have announced the signing of a strategic co-development agreement that unites their complementary strengths in next-generation antigen engineering and multiplex immunological diagnostics. The collaboration aims to accelerate the development and commercialisation of a new class of precision diagnostics built on Attomarker’s gold nanotechnology test platforms and powered by EpitogenX’s AI-driven epitope discovery and recombinant antigen production.

    This agreement covers development across Attomarker’s full technology portfolio, beginning with the Liscar 6 platform and extending to its handheld instrument in development, enabling rapid, quantitative, multiplex immune profiling for a range of conditions where immune dysregulation is central, commencing with Lyme Disease and Long Lyme.

    Addressing Unmet Need Across Immunology and Infection:

    Lyme disease presents a substantial global health challenge. In the United States alone, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate around 476,000 cases annually, making it the most reported vector-borne illness in the country. Worldwide, the disease burden is significant, especially across Europe and North America, with many patients suffering delayed or inaccurate diagnosis, and some finding themselves with persistent, debilitating symptoms over years. The Lyme disease diagnostic market is projected to reach approximately USD 18.6 billion by 2030, driven by increasing disease incidence, awareness, and demand for improved diagnostics.

    Professor Andrew Shaw, CEO & Chief Scientist of Attomarker, said:
    “This agreement brings together two pioneering UK diagnostics enterprises with shared vision to improve diagnostics for millions of Lyme disease patients. However, by combining Attomarker’s advanced multiplex gold nanotechnology with EpitogenX’s antigen and epitope expertise, we can deliver rapid, quantitative immune diagnostics across a much broader array of diseases, transforming how clinicians understand and manage immune dysregulation.”

    Delivering Personalised Immune Profiling for Real-World Clinical Decisions:

    Attomarker’s immune profiling technology, arising from translational research at the University of Exeter, enables rapid, quantitative measurement of multiple immune biomarkers simultaneously. Its licensed COVID Antibody Spectrum Test provides clinicians with endotype-level insight into immune responses in Long COVID patients, better informing personalised treatment pathways. This approach moves beyond traditional binary diagnostics towards deeper immune characterisation that supports targeted therapeutic decisions.

    The partnership recognises that many diseases share common mechanisms of immune dysregulation. Conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, autoimmune arthritis, systemic lupus and others involve distinct immune signatures that could benefit from the same endotype-driven diagnostic strategy. Harnessing detailed immune profiles allows clinicians to match patients with the most appropriate treatments and monitor response with greater precision.

    Leveraging Complementary Technologies:

    Attomarker’s technology is based on an optical gold nanoparticle array capable of rapid, label-free, multiplex biomarker measurement from tiny blood samples. It is designed to produce laboratory-quality results in minutes and to scale across disease indications including infection, inflammation, endocrine dysfunction and allergy.

    EpitogenX brings deep expertise in AI-driven epitope mapping (EpitoPredikt™) and antigen display (EpitoGen®), enabling discovery of disease-specific biomarkers and production of highly robust recombinant antigens for use in both laboratory and point-of-care assays.

    Dr Abdo Alnabulsi, CEO and co-founder of EpitogenX, said:
    “This partnership marks a milestone in the translation of cutting-edge antigen science into precision diagnostics. Our technology will strengthen Attomarker’s diagnostic platforms, enabling better detection and monitoring across conditions from Lyme to autoimmune disease. Together we are building tools that clinicians and patients urgently need.”

  • Over The Bull Podcast Explores Legacy Media Decline and Modern Marketing Strategy

    Why brand reputation no longer guarantees marketing performance—and what business owners must demand instead in a rapidly shifting digital world.

    ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Over The Bull, hosted by marketing strategist Ken Carroll, has released Episode #45 titled “Reputation vs. Results – History Isn’t a Strategy.” The episode delivers a direct examination of legacy media’s decline and challenges business owners to rethink where—and why—they invest their marketing dollars.

    In this episode, Carroll explores documented industry trends showing significant newsroom job losses and structural contraction across traditional print and broadcast organizations. Citing public employment data and recent workforce reductions across major outlets, the episode frames a larger question:

    If legacy media organizations are shrinking, restructuring, and rapidly pivoting into digital services, should businesses rely on their historic brand reputation as proof of digital competence?

    “Reputation alone doesn’t generate measurable results,” Carroll states in the episode. “Business owners need to ask deeper questions about execution, accountability, and return on investment—not just brand recognition.”

    Key Topics Covered in Episode #45

    The Decline of Legacy Media Employment
    The episode references public reports indicating substantial newsroom employment declines since 2008, along with continued workforce reductions in print and broadcast sectors.

    The Digital Pivot Challenge
    Many traditional media companies have expanded into digital marketing services—including SEO, website development, social advertising, and reporting dashboards. The episode questions whether these organizations possess the internal infrastructure, agility, and specialization required to deliver measurable digital performance at scale.

    Brand Equity vs. Operational Competence
    Carroll highlights a growing disconnect between historic brand prestige and modern digital execution. He argues that digital marketing today demands continuous experimentation, technical fluency, data analysis, and strategic adaptation—capabilities that may not automatically accompany legacy brand recognition.

    The Shift in Audience Behavior
    Consumers increasingly access information through search engines, social platforms, direct subscriptions, streaming, and AI tools. The episode discusses how fragmented attention and evolving trust patterns impact the effectiveness of traditional advertising models.

    The Risk of Vanity Metrics
    Episode #45 also addresses the difference between surface-level reporting—impressions, clicks, dashboards—and true outcome-based measurement tied to revenue, conversions, and business growth.

    A Broader Message for Business Owners

    Rather than encouraging do-it-yourself marketing or reliance on single-channel specialists, Carroll advocates for comprehensive digital strategy grounded in:
    • Measurable ROI
    • Transparent reporting
    • Technical execution
    • Cross-channel fluency
    • Ongoing adaptation

    “Marketing in 2026 requires more than a logo and a sales pitch,” Carroll says. “It requires competence, testing, and the willingness to evolve quickly.”

    The episode concludes by encouraging business owners to evaluate marketing partnerships based on demonstrated capability—not legacy positioning—and to seek agencies that can integrate strategy across content, paid advertising, technical infrastructure, and conversion optimization.
