Digital Annealer: the technology that can help solve problems that not even Artificial Intelligence can optimize alone

SAPO Tek1 September 2026 at 08:06

The Digital Annealer is a technology that uses quantum computing principles to solve optimization problems that not even Artificial Intelligence can solve on its own. The technology was developed to overcome limitations in complex decision processes.

The tool takes advantage of quantum computing concepts applied to optimization, allowing it to tackle challenges that traditional artificial intelligence methods cannot solve efficiently.

This approach is becoming increasingly relevant for companies, which face increasingly complex decision problems and need a solution capable of optimizing processes in a more advanced way.

The article indicates that Digital Annealer represents an alternative when conventional artificial intelligence capabilities reach their limits in solving optimization problems.

Revolut begins offering AI assistant to Portuguese customers

Revolut announced it will expand its artificial intelligence assistant, called AIR (AI by Revolut), to Portugal and across Europe, approximately five months after its launch in the United Kingdom. The intelligent chatbot promises to transform the way customers interact with their money, manage their lifestyle, and make consumption decisions, including travel suggestions, accommodations, and experiences tailored to their budget. The assistant will also be able to answer questions about supermarket spending, stock performance, and the loyalty program. The rollout will be phased, not immediately available to all 2.3 million customers in Portugal. The news comes days after the company announced the creation of Revolut Research, a unit specialized in machine learning models for credit risk assessment and fraud prevention.

MONAKA: the next digital revolution will be defined by efficiency and not just speed

For decades, technological evolution was measured by performance, with faster processors and more powerful supercomputers defining leadership. However, according to the MONAKA column, the next digital revolution will be defined by energy efficiency and not just speed. This paradigm shift represents a new way of measuring technological progress, where energy consumption and resource optimization become as important as raw processing power.
