Fintech Giant Stripe announced on Wednesday that numerous new products will be launched at its annual Stripe Sessions User Event.
Highlights include the new AI Foundation model for payments. Stablecoin-driven account. New orchestration provisions and recent transitions by Chip Behemoth Nvidia.
Stripe’s Payments Foundation model is trained in hundreds of billions of transactions, says Emily Glassberg Sands, Stripe’s head of information. So, other models might overlook “capturing hundreds of subtle signals about each payment,” she said.
One use case is improving fraud detection. Stripe’s previous models “gradually” reduced card test attacks by 80% over two years. Card test attacks are a type of fraudulent activity in which someone can determine whether stolen card information is valid and purchase it.
The company claims that the new foundation model will “increase detection rates for such attacks on large companies by 64% overnight.”
She said, “Previously, we couldn’t get access to the vast amount of data. Now we can.”
Of course, Stripe is not the only fintech that has built a model using AI for fraud detection. One example is sardines, which itself is described as an AI risk platform for fraud, compliance and credit underwriting.

In an interview, Gaybrick, president of Stripe’s products and business, told defy that he discovered unique features because Stripe’s generalized model is through self-teacher learning.
“We’ve discovered it over and over again in machine learning, but the generalized models outperform,” he said. “The majority of it is agility. It improves performance and is suitable for changing fraud patterns.
Stripe announced Wednesday that it intended to bring Stablecoin-backed multiculency cards to businesses by partnering with other startups such as Ramp, Squads and Airtm. With such cards, companies claim that companies from multiple countries can “operate in the same currency for the first time.”
The move comes just three months after Stripe completed its acquisition of Stablecoin Platform Bridge.
The orchestration said Stripe could help set up, manage and optimize performance for multiple payment providers from DashBoard.
Stripe also used the event to name a number of AI companies using billing products, including Windsurf, Openai, Humanitarian, Cursor, Confusing, 11 Invoices.
More recently, according to Vivek Sharma, head of Stripe’s Revenue Automation, Nvidia has moved its “all subscribers” to Stripe billing in six weeks. This is the process where Fintech usually marks the “fastest travel ever to Stripe Blieng.” (Nvidia was already a Stripe Payments customer.)
