SEC Filing Reveals Manako’s Physical AI Is Now Live Across 124 French Fuel Stations

Manako Labs has commercially deployed its Physical AI system across 124 Avia Xpress fuel stations in France. Nasdaq-listed TaoWeave, which invested $1 million in Manako earlier this year, disclosed the rollout in a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. SEC on October 7.

Manako’s Vision Agents are now operating around the clock across the first 124 stations run by Avia Thévenin-Ducrot, which has also named Manako its lead Physical AI design partner.

Using cameras that are already installed at each location, the agents can detect problems such as payment terminal failures, damaged pumps and equipment, and camera outages, then send the issue to the right person for action.

From Existing Cameras to AI Agents

One of the interesting parts of the rollout is how little new infrastructure Avia needs. Manako says installation takes about five minutes per station, requires no new cameras, and processes video locally so that raw footage does not leave the site. The company also says the rollout is running ahead of schedule.

This is essentially what Manako has been building toward with its Business Operations World Model. A business can describe what it wants to monitor, and Vision Agents use existing camera feeds to understand what is happening and trigger an action when something goes wrong. For unmanned fuel stations, where there may be nobody constantly watching every pump, terminal or camera, that becomes particularly useful.

Where Score (SN44) Comes In

Underneath Manako sits Score (SN44), Bittensor’s decentralized computer-vision subnet. TaoWeave describes Manako’s technology in the SEC filings as the “Score AI computer vision platform operating on Bittensor Subnet 44.”

Score uses Bittensor’s incentive system to develop computer-vision capabilities, with miners competing to produce and improve models that can understand images and video. Manako takes that technology and packages it into something enterprises can deploy.

Manako had already been building the enterprise side of the business. Earlier this year, it formed an alliance with PwC France and Maghreb to bring its Physical AI technology into enterprise advisory and deployment work, highlighting Score (SN44) as the decentralized AI infrastructure powering the platform.

Manako also won the overall Start in Block competition at Paris Blockchain Week 2026.

TaoWeave’s Bet on Manako Starts Looking More Concrete

The rollout is also significant for TaoWeave, the Nasdaq-listed company formerly known as Oblong, Inc. Oblong changed its name to TaoWeave in December 2025 as it moved deeper into Bittensor and decentralized AI, with its Nasdaq ticker changing from OBLG to TWAV.

In May, TaoWeave invested $1 million in Manako through a SAFE and signed a commercialization agreement covering the United States and Canada. The agreement gives TaoWeave rights to market and distribute Manako’s platform in North America, while also creating revenue-sharing, referral-fee, and market-development arrangements depending on how customers are sourced.

Manako’s work with Avia further suggests that the partnership is already active and producing commercial results. With 124 stations now live and TaoWeave holding North American commercialization rights, the deployment gives both companies a strong proof point to build on as they look toward further expansion.
