Omen AI acquires competitor Aquatic Labs with a combination of cash and stock valued at $16 million. The deal will integrate Aquatic Labs' alkalinity detection capabilities with Omen's own elemental detection technology into a single real-time water quality sensor, expected to launch early next year. Omen's sensors are scheduled to monitor chips consuming between 250 and 300 MW of power by the end of this year, representing a market size of approximately $5 to $7 billion, with plans to cover chips equivalent to 1 GW by the end of 2027.
