According to Mars Finance, the innovative project EPHYRA, focused on AI-driven gaming companions, announced today the completion of a $5 million strategic financing round, with investments from the well-known gaming community joint fund Play & Connect Capital (PCC) in Japan and South Korea. This financing will be used to deepen the development of AI interaction engines, expand into the Asia-Pacific market, and strengthen the gaming IP cooperation ecosystem. A PCC spokesperson stated that EPHYRA’s distributed decision-making framework and adaptive learning system break the limitations of traditional AI agents: “Its technology not only supports gaming scenarios but can also be transferred to fields such as financial analysis, intelligent customer service, and industrial automation. We are optimistic about its potential to become the ‘AI decision-making hub’ for corporate digital transformation.”
