India’s homegrown Pralay missile just wrapped up another big test, pushing it closer to joining the armed forces for real. The Defence Ministry announced that the latest trial, held off the Odisha coast, checked all the boxes — and honestly, they sound pretty confident that the missile’s induction is right around the corner. DRDO carried out the test from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island at about 11:10 am on November 5. All the instruments at the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur tracked the flight and confirmed the missile’s performance. What’s special about this particular trial is that it wasn’t just…

Adobe just landed deals with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group that will let you drop licensed music clips into Premiere mobile, their free video editor for iOS and Android. You’ll be able to add up to 60 seconds of a popular song to your project—as long as it’s for personal use and not for anything commercial. This isn’t just another app tweak. Announced on November 3, it feels bigger, almost like a truce between big music labels and short-form video creators. Now you can use well-known tracks legally in a mainstream editor, but with strict limits on how…

Cat Wu’s exit from Claude Code is the latest in a string of departures that raises an uncomfortable question: why are AI’s best builders walking away just as the money arrives? Cat Wu, the product lead behind Anthropic’s Claude Code, left the company on Friday, Oct. 30, and announced it publicly on Nov. 3, just as Anthropic prepares for one of the largest IPOs in history. Anthropic confirmed the departure. Wu thanked her team and users in her farewell post but gave no reason for leaving. The timing is what turns this into news rather than noise. Anthropic filed its…

Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft have backed a shared signal that will let website owners express an AI training opt-out across participating providers, reducing the need for separate company-by-company instructions. The commitments announced on October 30 support a proposed robots.txt mechanism, with implementation schedules varying across the companies. The move addresses a practical problem for publishers: communicating the same training preference to multiple AI developers through different controls. The proposal remains under consideration at the Internet Engineering Task Force rather than being a completed standard. How the signal works The mechanism uses a shared policy token, __usage_ai-training, in a website’s…

When 24-year-old Xu Chenghong realized he barely had any relatives to invite to his wedding, he turned to the internet for help—not for money or fame, just for some company. He wanted guests. That’s it. Within days, people from all over China offered to come. Some wanted to cook, others said they’d help decorate, drive, or bring gifts. What started as a day Xu dreaded—worried he’d have to get married in a half-empty room—turned into a big celebration with hundreds of new faces. Xu’s story is a bit of a heartbreaker at first. He grew up in Yiliang County, Yunnan…

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is fighting to recover funds after hackers drained an estimated $6.3 billion from its wallets in what analysts believe is the largest crypto theft—and possibly the largest financial heist—on record. The bulk of the money moved in roughly 20 minutes late Thursday, spreading across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Ripple and several Layer-2 networks. The exchange has suspended deposits and withdrawals while it conducts security checks, traces stolen assets and works with law enforcement. Binance says about $3 billion has been frozen on-chain so far, and it has pledged to cover all customer losses from company…

Microsoft is about to give organizations more control over what happens with Edge when people sign in to Windows. Instead of Edge just launching on its own or leaving everything to user default settings, there’s a new policy on the way: LaunchEdgeOnWindowsStartupEnabled, or simply, “Launch Microsoft Edge on Windows startup.” Here’s what’s actually changing. If IT turns this setting on, Edge pops up in front of users every time they start Windows. Turn it off, and Edge stays put—no surprise browser windows first thing in the morning. Leave the policy alone, and things don’t change automatically. Instead, users get nudged…

Anthropic has become SpaceX’s single largest customer, accounting for more than a third of the rocket and AI company’s third-quarter revenue and overtaking the US government, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. The AI developer was identified as “Customer B” in SpaceX’s quarterly filing, which disclosed that one unnamed client contributed 34.5% of revenue in the quarter. Bloomberg cited a person familiar with the matter in naming Anthropic as that customer. The revelation underscores how quickly SpaceX’s artificial-intelligence computing business has grown — and how dependent the Elon Musk-led company has become on a single AI customer whose contracts carry an…

Three North Korean hacking groups are now using artificial intelligence in their daily operations, according to Microsoft’s report from October 29. The company laid out how these groups use AI for fake job offers, creating fake identities, and developing malicious software. Meanwhile, blockchain analysts linked a separate theft of $6.36 billion from Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange, to North Korea’s TraderTraitor hacking group. There’s no direct evidence AI played a role in the Binance attack, though. Microsoft described Jade Sleet, Coral Sleet, and Jasper Sleet as the most advanced when it comes to using AI. These three have fully woven the…

Tata Communications is putting down $400–450 million (about ₹4,350 crore) to build a high-speed fibre network that ties together India’s main AI and data centre hubs. They’re calling it the “AI Super Highway.” This project will run roughly 10,000 km of new long-haul fibre across the country, making it one of the biggest AI-ready networks India’s seen. Tata says this new setup will hook right into their global network, pushing support for everything from AI to cloud computing, hyperscale data centres, and heavy-duty enterprise tasks. So, what’s this new network going to do? Basically, it’s meant to link big data-centre…
