Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Rhino Reporter.
In an industry often slowed by fragmented data and rigid silos, we believe in the power of the "Crash"—the collective strength of a unified herd. This newsletter is your curated intelligence briefing on the advancements in Federated Computing across life sciences, financial services, and the AI-forward industries redefining the regulated world.

Rhino Joins The National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL)
NIIMBL brings together companies, universities, and federal agencies to develop technology that advances American manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry. By joining this ecosystem of industry leaders Rhino is providing the backbone for more resilient, data-driven American manufacturing.
This marks our second Manufacturing USA partnership, following our work with the ARM Institute (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing). Together, we’re closing the gap between AI orchestration and physical production.
Collaborative AI for the Next Era of Mining
Mining is entering a new era of digital transformation. Autonomous fleets, electrification, AI-driven safety systems, and sustainability mandates are reshaping how the world’s most critical raw materials are extracted. However, this transformation faces a fundamental challenge: Collaborative intelligence in mining cannot scale under traditional centralized AI. Federated computing transforms mining’s fragmented data into a coordinated strategic asset.

Fighting Financial Crime Together: Federated Computing for Cross-Bank AML Compliance
Money laundering is the lifeblood of organized crime, terrorism, and corruption. Globally, an estimated $2 trillion is laundered annually, yet less than 1% of illicit funds are ever seized. For financial institutions (FIs), the cost of compliance has ballooned to tens of billions of dollars, but the criminals continue to adapt.
The core problem isn't a lack of effort—it's a lack of collective intelligence. Sophisticated money laundering schemes, like layering through multiple banks or across borders, exploit the fact that FIs mostly operate in isolation. This is where Federated Computing (FC) offers a pathway to collective defense without compromising the confidentiality of private data.

Lilly TuneLab
Calling all biotechs who want to accelerate drug discovery! Lilly TuneLab provides access to AI/ML small molecule ADMET prediction models and antibody property prediction models, trained on proprietary Eli Lilly data. Lilly TuneLab is built on the Rhino Federated Computing Platform, which allows member companies to train more robust models while keeping their data in a private environment.

PROBE Consortium
Last week, the Rhino team hosted a successful field deployment over several days at the Universität Hamburg with the CoSyBio team. As one of the leading institutions in the pan-Europe PROBE consortium, they are working with us to build a large-scale Federated Computing Network to enable a five-year project investigating Osteoarthritis using structured and unstructured data.
We were thrilled to host hands-on demos and workshops as part of our initial pilot program, demonstrating how the Rhino Federated Computing Platform can accelerate secure, multi-center research. It was inspiring to learn about the amazing innovation that researchers at Jan Baumbach’s lab are pushing forward, including novel uses of Agentic AI for data discovery and harmonization.
Agentic AI: Moving from Intelligence to Action
The next frontier of Federated Computing isn't just about training models; it’s about deploying agents. Rhino is pioneering Agentic AI capabilities that allow AI to reason, plan, and execute tasks across distributed environments without compromising IP.
- Federated Orchestration: Seamlessly manage agents across multicloud and edge environments.
- IP Protection: Execute complex workflows on sensitive data silos securely.
