  But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.

  So a completely normal pivot from something more general to something more specific within the same subject area. This isn’t really newsworthy, and the rest of the article reads like an ad.
