Prime Minister Narendra Modi and New Zealand’s Christopher Luxon just leveled up their countries’ relationship. Now it’s officially a Strategic Partnership, and they’ve rolled out an ambitious Roadmap to 2030. The plan’s pretty clear: they’re joining forces to push ahead in trade, defense, climate action, technology, education, and investment. This all happened while Modi was in Auckland—actually the first Indian Prime Minister to visit New Zealand in four decades—which made it feel like more than just another diplomatic stopover. They didn’t settle for smiles in front of the cameras either. Instead, they watched as officials signed ten different agreements, all…

Indian Railways has made it clear: you can’t get away with showing a screenshot, PDF, or a WhatsApp-forwarded copy of your unreserved digital ticket anymore. Now, when a ticket inspector comes by, you have to pull up the original ticket right inside the RailOne app—on the same phone and mobile number you used to book it. This new push comes after an incident in the South East Central Railway zone where a passenger got fined for showing a screenshot instead of pulling up the real ticket in the app. That story blew up on social media, and it seems Railways…

Hollywood is rushing headfirst into artificial intelligence, but Christopher Nolan isn’t convinced audiences want that—especially the younger crowd. He sees them getting bored with lazy, AI-generated movies and drifting back to films that actually feel crafted by real people. He talked about this with AFP before the release of The Odyssey on July 17, and he didn’t mince words. To Nolan, the rise of generative AI in film couldn’t have come at a worse time. People—especially younger moviegoers—want originality and craftsmanship. They don’t want what Nolan calls “AI slop,” which is popping up everywhere online. Viewers are quick to call…

Google Research just unveiled SensorFM, a powerhouse foundation model for wearable health that’s trained on more than a trillion minutes of sensor data. That data came from about five million users around the world. Instead of focusing on just one medical condition, SensorFM aims to capture the bigger picture—a unified snapshot of human physiology flexible enough for all sorts of health and wellness applications. Most AI health models stick to one job, like spotting heart problems or managing diabetes. SensorFM is different. It takes on a bunch of prediction tasks using data straight from Fitbit and Pixel Watch devices, pulling…

India’s scramble for extra LPG during the recent West Asia conflict left the country with more gas than it knows what to do with. Now state-owned refiners are cutting back production, and oil marketing companies just slashed commercial cylinder prices. It started when tensions in the Persian Gulf spiked earlier this year. People worried about supply getting choked off at the Strait of Hormuz—a lifeline for much of India’s LPG imports. To play it safe, the government told refiners and OMCs: Buy more, make more, just don’t risk running short. At its peak, India was importing up to 40,000 tonnes…

OpenAI is closing down ChatGPT Atlas, its standalone AI browser, and rolling its features into a new desktop app that puts ChatGPT, web browsing, and Codex all in one place. This move fits with OpenAI’s bigger plan: simplify its products, build up its desktop presence, and zero in on AI tools for business. Atlas first showed up on October 21, 2025, for macOS. It was pitched as an AI-first browser, powered by ChatGPT. Users could summarize web pages, compare products, ask questions right inside web pages, and dig into details through an AI sidebar. There was even an agent mode…

OpenAI has just rolled out GPT-5.6, its newest line of AI models, after going through an unusual security review led by the U.S. government. This review temporarily delayed the public release and stands out as one of the first times a cutting-edge AI system faced such thorough national security scrutiny before going live. The GPT-5.6 lineup includes three models, each built for different needs. Sol is the top-tier option—meant for heavy-duty research, advanced coding, and complex problem-solving. Terra is aimed at businesses that want solid performance but need to keep costs in check. Luna, on the other hand, is built…

Wealth from SpaceX and the AI boom is fueling a fresh wave of interest in private aviation. Founders, investors, and tech executives are increasingly drawn to charter flights, fractional ownership, and business jets. People watching the industry say it’s not just about status anymore; these folks see private planes as tools to get more done, especially as their companies operate globally and their calendars fill up with trips between investors, customers, and engineering teams. Rising valuations in AI companies keep pouring money into the pockets of founders and early employees, while SpaceX’s growth and steady secondary stock sales have produced…

AI writing and editing tools on social media do more than just fix your grammar or polish your posts. According to a new study from the Oxford Internet Institute and the Hasso Plattner Institute, they actually influence what people think—little by little—by nudging how users frame their opinions. The research, called “AI-Mediated Communication Can Steer Collective Opinion,” will be presented at ICML 2026 in Seoul. Testing Popular Language Models To dig into this, the team put four popular language models—Llama 3.1, Gemma 3, Mistral, and Qwen—to the test. They ran these models on real social media posts about thirteen hot-button…

India’s spot in the World Bank’s income classification isn’t changing anytime soon. For the financial year 2026-27, the country will stay in the lower-middle-income bracket—even though five Indian states now earn enough per person to cross the new upper-middle-income threshold. Basically, a handful of regions are racing ahead, but the national average just can’t keep up. The World Bank recently revised its upper-middle-income threshold to $4,636 per capita, starting July 2026. India’s GNI per capita, sitting around $2,703 for 2025, falls well short of that bar. So the whole country stays in the lower-middle-income group, which spans $1,176 to $4,635.…
