The EV maker is launching a software update to its vehicles and smartphone app, offering more transparency about energy consumption and faster charging speeds, the Verge <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theverge.com/news/678005/rivian-ev-charging-software-update-battery-fast-charging" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday.
Rivian&#8217;s Energy app will now include &#8220;Charging&#8221; for energy intake and &#8220;Energy Monitor&#8221; for energy output.

Clear signs of a slowing labor market echoed through Wall Street on Wednesday, after private-sector job growth plunged to a more than two-year low, stoking investor concerns that trade headwinds are starting to bite while fueling President Donald Trump&#8216;s pressure on the Federal Reserve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">to lower interest rates. </a>
U.S. private employers added just 37,000 jobs in May, down from 62,000 in April, an Automatic Data Processing Inc. National Employment report showed Wednesday.
The outcome sharply missed economists&#8217; expectations of 115,000 and marked the lowest reading since March 2023. 
&#8220;ADP number out!!! &#8220;Too Late&#8221; Powell must now lower the rate. He is unbelievable!!! Europe has lowered nine times!,&#8221; Trump wrote on Truth social, shortly after the release.
"After a strong start to the year, hiring is losing momentum," said Nela Richardson, chief economist at Automatic Data Processing Inc. "Pay growth, however, was little changed in May, holding at robust levels for both job-stayers and job-changers."
In May, workers who stayed in their roles saw year-over-year wage growth of 4.5%, a steady pace from previous months. Those who changed jobs saw pay rise by 7%, also unchanged from April's revised figure.
While ADP's figures often differ from the official government data, the weak print adds weight to expectations of a broader labor market slowdown. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish its May Employment Situation Report on Friday, with nonfarm payrolls expected to rise by 130,000—down from April's 170,000 gain.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
The dollar tanked minutes after the release, with the greenback sliding past 1.14 against the euro. The Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – which tracks the broader U.S. dollar index (DXY) – is down 0.5% in the premarket. 
Futures on major U.S. indices were broadly steady by 8:25 a.m. in New York. On Tuesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed 0.6% higher. 
Yields on 2-year U.S. Treasury notes dropped to 3.92% as traders ramped up bets on upcoming Federal Reserve rate cuts. The 10-year yield also slipped, falling 5 basis points to 4.41%.
Fed funds futures now imply two interest rate cuts by the end of the year, with the first move expected to come in October, as per CME FedWatch tool.

Constellation Energy shares are trading lower after Citigroup downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral.

With federal pressure mounting and fintech innovations accelerating, the credit score system landlords used to know isn't the same anymore.&nbsp;
In 2025, three big updates are changing how credit scores show if someone can be trusted to pay rent. Landlords need to keep up with these changes because they affect what info gets looked at and how well scores predict if a tenant will be reliable. This all matters when deciding who to rent to and how to manage risks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a Credit Score Algorithm? How Does It Work?</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Definition of Credit Score Algorithm</h3>
A credit score algorithm is basically a set of rules or a formula that helps lenders or landlords figure out how likely someone is to pay back money on time. It looks at your financial habits and gives you a number (a credit score) that shows how reliable you are with money.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Does It Work? Key Factors Credit Score Algorithms Consider</h3>
These algorithms watch your money habits to guess how trustworthy you'll be in the future. Before, they mostly checked if you paid bills on time, how much debt you have, and how much of your credit you're using.
These days, these algorithms are smarter and look at a lot more information. Besides the usual stuff, they might also check things like:&nbsp;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>History of paying rent,&nbsp;</li>
<li>Utility bills,&nbsp;</li>
<li>Subscriptions,&nbsp;</li>
<li>(and even) Bank transactions.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Credit Score Ranges</h3>
These expanded data points can be sorted into credit score ranges.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-table"> 
<table class="has-fixed-layout">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Credit Score Range</td>
<td>Level of Creditworthiness</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Below 580</td>
<td>Poor</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>580 – 669</td>
<td>Fair</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>670 – 739</td>
<td>Good</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>740 – 799</td>
<td>Very good</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>800 – 850</td>
<td>Excellent</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</figure>
A credit score of 840, for example, indicates exceptional financial behavior, typically someone with a long history of on-time payments, low credit utilization, and stable income.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The 4 Rs of Credit Scoring: A New Framework for Evaluating Tenants</h2>
The credit score algorithm in 2025 is built on four foundational pillars, which are called the 4Rs of credit scoring, including: Risk, Response, Revenue, and Retention. Each one looks at a different part of a person's financial story to help predict how they'll handle renting a home.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Risk: Measures the chance a tenant might miss payments, considering not just if but how often, how serious, and how long financial problems last. It also looks at the context to avoid unfairly rejecting good tenants because of old or isolated issues.</li>
<li>Response: Looks at how tenants handle financial challenges: Do they ignore problems or try to fix them quickly? This spots who is responsible and resilient versus disorganized or reactive.</li>
<li>Revenue: Checks how steady and reliable a <a href="https://www.leaserunner.com/blog/how-to-verify-tenant-income">tenant's income</a> is by analyzing banking and employment data</li>
<li>Retention: Estimates how likely a tenant is to stay for the full lease by examining past moves, lease lengths, and payment behavior.</li>
</ul>
How does this change the tenant evaluation? In previous years, landlords might reject someone just because they had a late payment years ago. But now, with these new tools, they can see if the tenant bounced back quickly and has steady income. This way, landlords can give a chance to responsible renters who had some temporary problems but are reliable now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Key Regulatory Shifts in 2025 That Are Changing Credit Reporting (What Landlords Must Know)</h2>
In 2025, the Trump administration enacted several reforms aimed at modernizing credit assessment and reducing what it called "unfair penalties" for consumers. As these changes roll out, landlords must understand how they alter the accuracy and reliability of the credit score algorithm used in tenant screening.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Remove Medical Debt from Credit Reports</h3>
One of the most significant changes: medical debt is now excluded from credit reports altogether. The Biden administration argued that medical expenses are often unpredictable, involuntary, and not a true reflection of financial behavior. In 2025, all major credit bureaus are required to eliminate medical collections from scoring models.
Credit scores will better reflect a tenant's real financial habits. Applicants who might have been flagged before because of medical debts now get a fairer shake.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Introduction of New Credit Scoring Models</h3>
In response to regulatory pressure for more inclusive and transparent credit assessments, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) approved new credit scoring systems. These new models focus more on what's happening now. They look closely at things like recent payments, rent history, and even subscription bills.
These changes are changing the way credit scores work. The old FICO scores are being updated or replaced by newer versions like FICO 10T and VantageScore 5.0. These newer scores give landlords a better idea of how a tenant is really doing financially today. If landlords stick to old reports, they might miss out on responsible renters who didn't have perfect credit in the past but have been paying rent and bills on time lately.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. AI and Alternative Data Transform Credit Assessments</h3>
Another rule from the Biden era allowed credit companies to use a lot more types of data in their credit checks, along with more legal freedom to try out AI.&nbsp;
This policy shift accelerated the adoption of algorithms that use bank transaction histories, utility payments, gig economy earnings, and even behavioral analytics to assess creditworthiness. The AI involved mainly includes machine learning systems that automatically analyze all this varied data to spot patterns and trends that traditional methods might miss.
The AI here uses smart computer programs that look at all this different info to find patterns that traditional methods might miss. Because of this, people who used to be &#8220;unscorable&#8221; now have detailed credit profiles. This shift opens the door for landlords to consider renters who might not have a long credit history but are still financially responsible.
To sum up, in 2025, credit reports no longer include medical debt. New scoring models now focus on recent payments like rent and bills. AI and alternative data help more renters, especially those without long credit histories, get fair credit evaluations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Landlords Can Use Credit Scores Effectively in Tenant Screening</h2>
With the recent changes in how credit scores are calculated, landlords can no longer simply label a score as good or bad. To truly understand a potential tenant, landlords should consider credit scores as one piece of a more comprehensive tenant evaluation. 
For example, a score in the mid-600s may have previously signaled caution, but if that score now reflects strong rental history and stable income, the risk may actually be low.
Best practices for landlords in 2025 include:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Find out which credit scoring model is being used (like FICO or VantageScore) and whether it uses traditional or alternative data. Some models focus more on recent payments and rent, while others look at long-term credit history. Some even use AI to include things like gig work or unusual income.</li>
<li>Reviewing payment histories, not just scores &#8211; especially rent and utility payments: Paying rent on time regularly often says more than the credit score alone.</li>
<li>Using credit scores alongside income verification and landlord references: Combining the credit score with these other data points gives a more accurate risk profile.</li>
<li>Working with screening providers that include AI or machine learning insights for a fuller picture: These tools pull in more info like bank activity, subscription payments, and job trends to better understand how someone manages their money.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>
In short, the credit scoring algorithm has changed over the years, and tenant screening must change with it. Landlords who stay informed, understand the data behind the score, and align with modern models will be better positioned to reduce risk and improve retention. A smarter approach to screening starts with understanding what's changed.

In its latest initiative, GFT Rewards has teamed up with Datavault AI and ADIO&#xAE; to set a new standard for programmatic reward distribution, from coupons and rebates to web 3, tokenized loyalty incentives. Leveraging ADIO's patented inaudible-tone technology, this collaboration enables retailers and brands to deliver cash-redeemable or tokenized loyalty offers directly to consumers' mobile devices. Under the terms of the agreement, Datavault AI will receive a fee for every reward redemption managed and redeemed through GFT's platform with ADIO.
Datavault AI has licensed its proprietary audio-based ADIO&#xAE; solution to GFT Rewards to trigger secure mobile reward redemptions through ultrasonic tones embedded in advertisements and digital media. These rewards are instantly redeemed at the point of sale, offering real-time incentives to shoppers. GFT Rewards will utilize its GFT Cash App to execute revenue-share payments to partners with AI analytics and redemption reporting built into its dashboard.
"Retailers are experiencing a growing demand for frictionless, instant savings and rewards tied to digital ads and proximity triggers," said Jonas Hudson, Co-CEO of GFT Rewards. "This partnership combines our financial infrastructure and marketplace with Datavault AI's ultra-targeted, tone-based ad delivery system to enable the next generation in Web 3 rewards, sales and ROI for brands, distributors and IP."
The global mobile coupon market continues its rapid ascent. Valued at $603.3 billion in 2023, the market is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2030, reflecting accelerating digital adoption and evolving shopping habits among global consumers.

"These numbers show that while coupons are ubiquitous, their impact lies in how strategically they are delivered and redeemed," said Jonas Hudson, Co-CEO of GFT Rewards. "Brands that optimize their loyalty and incentive strategies—particularly via mobile—stand to gain significant consumer engagement and revenue lift."
As shoppers increasingly expect instant, low-friction experiences, retailers and brands are moving toward technologies that enable real-time engagement, automated delivery and seamless integration within everyday media. This shift is fueling demand for promotions that can be activated passively, in the moment and in response to media exposure—precisely the type of delivery model ADIO&#xAE; supports.
Unlike legacy solutions reliant on barcodes or QR codes, ADIO&#xAE; operates via encrypted, high-frequency tones that can be layered into any audio environment—streaming services, television broadcasts, retail PA systems or social video. The technology enables fully passive activation, with coupons appearing as notifications or digital wallet entries the moment the tone is detected.
"By integrating ADIO&#xAE; technology into the cash ecosystem of GFT, we're giving advertisers a way to turn impressions into transactions instantly," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "ADIO&#xAE; is an ideal solution for this kind of performance marketing, and we expect significant velocity in adoption as retailers and brands look to reduce friction in the promotional funnel. GFT's system is already rolling out across select banners with national reach, and we anticipate this model becoming a standard for performance-based in-store media."
The agreement expands Datavault AI's channel access in key sectors, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and high-volume grocery retail, all of which are facing increased pressure to demonstrate ROI on every promotional dollar. The ADIO&#xAE; + GFT Rewards software delivers SKU-level tracking, geo-anchored performance reporting and immediate economic attribution, creating a new standard for coupon campaign accountability.
