Sony acquires iSize, specializing in Deep Learning for video delivery

Seemingly to help Sony with streaming.
Seems like stuff like this is being held back by phones and whatever is receiving the stream. A tweaked version of DLSS could work great but if you have the hardware to run DLSS, why would you be streaming?

Sony has made a strategic investment in African gaming startup Carry1st



Quote
Cordel Robbin-Coker, CEO and co-founder of Carry1st, said talks with the Sony Innovation Fund began about eight to nine months ago, and that his pitch to the PlayStation console maker was that Africa is the next big market to find growth in video games.

"As large companies like Sony that have really strong footholds in tier-one and tier-two markets start thinking about where the next billion customers and gamers are going to come from, our pitch is that Africa is a prime market for that," Robbin-Coker told CNBC in an interview.

Sony is coming into an emerging gaming market with blistering growth potential. Sub-Saharan Africa's gaming industry is expected to generate over $1 billion for the first time in 2024, according to research from Carry1st and venture capital firm Konvoy.
