VENICE, Italy, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tamar AI, the Palo Alto-based AI-powered creative technology company behind TapNow, the world's first AI-native Creative OS, today announced the launch of Glanze at the 83rd Venice Film Festival. As a streaming platform for original AI-native series, films, and explorable worlds, Glanze extends the TapNow ecosystem, creating a single connected path from creation to global audience.
Powered by TapNow and fed by its global IP incubation initiative 10,000 Parallel Universes, Glanze is a streaming platform built to redefine how stories are discovered, turning the exploration of original works into part of the entertainment experience. With Glanze now live, locally rooted AI-native series and films are brought to global audiences without the limits of traditional streaming platforms. Glanze opens with 40 titles available for preview, enabling creativity to travel without boundaries.
"Debuting Glanze at Venice, one of the world's most prestigious film festivals and where the future of cinema is first seen, marks our ambition to establish AI as a creative and meaningful force in the global film industry. Glanze is not just a streaming platform but an integral part of the TapNow ecosystem, rooted in our belief that AI exists to amplify creation from idea to distribution," said Klaus He, Co-founder of Tamar AI.
The Glanze launch was accompanied by a panel co-hosted by TapNow during the Venice Film Festival's Venice Production Bridge on September 4. The "AI x Cinema: The 10,000 Parallel Universes Initiative" panel brought together AI filmmakers, industry leaders and film educators to explore AI's creative and economic impact on filmmaking. The session closed with a technical presentation of "Primodia," a flagship series from the 10,000 Parallel Universes initiative, to showcase TapNow's Creative OS in action. On September 7, a curated screening of selected AI-native stories from the initiative offered a first look of the original worlds that Glanze is built to bring to global audiences.
Venice marks the beginning of a broader season of activity for Tamar AI, which will next bring its AI filmmaking community to Japan and Korea for Arena Peak Asia, its proprietary creator hackathon focused on cross-border AI storytelling, in October 16 - 19.

Tamar AI Unleashes Creativity with Glanze, a New AI Streaming Platform at 83rd Venice Film Festival
In an extension of ongoing collaboration, IBM and Lockheed Martin plan to initiate research projects with select Swiss academic institutions.
The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre at ETH Zurich will host an IBM Quantum System Two, expanding access across Swiss institutions to fuel the country's quantum ecosystem, research and workforce education.
ZURICH, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), through an offset agreement with armasuisse, Switzerland's Federal Office for Defence Procurement, today established a hub for quantum innovation at ETH Zurich, a prominent public research university. The new hub plans to host the country's first IBM Quantum System Two at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS) in Lugano.
IBM will operate the IBM Quantum System Two, which will be powered by an IBM Quantum Nighthawk, the company's most advanced processor. ETH Zurich will provide expertise, resources and technologies for Swiss industries, startups and academia, including access to the quantum computer. Its delivery is expected to catalyze the development of new algorithms, technical breakthroughs, and industrial use cases, as well as anchor initiatives to foster Switzerland's workforce and talent. The project also advances the ongoing strategic collaboration between Lockheed Martin and IBM, combining Lockheed Martin innovations in quantum sensing and additive manufacturing with IBM's expertise in quantum computing and AI.
"Switzerland is deservedly recognized as a hub for global innovation, and Lockheed Martin is proud of its long history of technical collaboration within the country," said Dr. Craig Martell, Lockheed Martin vice president and chief technology officer. "This project extends the strategic relationship between Lockheed Martin and IBM in quantum and AI while positioning Switzerland as a leader in these critical, cutting-edge fields. It provides resources and expertise, develops skills and enables joint research across the Swiss commercial, defense and academic ecosystem."
"IBM has collaborated with institutions in Switzerland for almost 100 years. Our research team at our Zurich lab has led fundamental technology breakthroughs for the world and has been part of the country's science ecosystem for decades," said Alessandro Curioni, vice president, Algorithms and Applications, IBM Research and director of the Zurich Research Laboratory. "As we continue to foster innovation with the Swiss community, we are excited to have the opportunity to put world-class quantum hardware, software and expertise directly into the hands of Switzerland's thriving academic institutions and industries."
"Switzerland will gain access to essential research infrastructure that will enable us to further advance the exploration of this emerging technology and educate the talent needed to support it," said ETH Zurich President Joël Mesot, emphasizing the opportunities the new quantum computer will bring to Switzerland.
Delivering quantum to the Swiss ecosystem
Organizations that join the innovation hub through ETH Zurich will have immediate access to these resources and IBM's fleet of quantum computers available over the cloud. Additionally, upon the system's deployment by the end of 2026, ETH Zurich will provide organizations with access to Switzerland's own dedicated IBM Quantum System Two. These capabilities will enable the country's community of innovators to accelerate scientific and industrial research and build new use cases across chemistry, materials science, optimization, financial services and more. Today, IBM quantum computers are already delivering scientific value across the globe as useful tools in these fields.
IBM and Lockheed Martin expand joint research initiatives
As part of the collaboration, two planned joint development projects between IBM and Lockheed Martin include the exploration of quantum sensing applications for navigation and the improvement of additive manufacturing of metallic alloys. These projects also complement ongoing efforts by IBM and Lockheed Martin across a range of advanced technologies focused on aerospace and defense innovation.
IBM and ETH Zurich build on a legacy of collaboration
This initiative also builds upon a close and long-standing collaboration between IBM and ETH Zurich, including a recently launched 10-year effort to advance foundational algorithmic research.
The quantum education and workforce development effort includes providing the Swiss ecosystem with access to the IBM Quantum Network and IBM Quantum Platform learning offerings, including coursework, certifications, and workshops; as well as event support, such as hackathons, conferences, and partner forums.
