At a robotics and automation event in Berlin, CEO Stefan Hartung talked about the numbers: Bosch expects this year’s profit margin to land somewhere between 4% and 6%, with revenue growing 2% to 5%. That outlook signals they’re counting on things bouncing back after restructuring costs drag earnings down in 2025. Compared to some of their peers like Schaeffler and ZF, who’ve been hit hard by sagging auto demand and the expensive switch to electric cars, Bosch’s stance looks pretty optimistic. Bosch is pushing hard into electrification, software, automation, and new mobility tech as the auto industry moves away from…

Apple’s newest on-device AI model, AFM Core Advanced, is limited to just three iPhone models: the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the iPhone Air. They said as much during WWDC 2026 and doubled down on it in the Siri AI press release. The reason? You need 12GB of RAM to run the model, which chews through a huge 20 billion parameters. Most recent iPhones—like the iPhone 16 Pro and even the regular iPhone 17—just don’t have enough muscle. Those devices will stick with the more modest 3-billion-parameter AFM Core model instead. So, what do you get with…

The Reserve Bank of India has directed banks and other regulated entities to complete board‑approved gap assessments of their preparedness against cybersecurity threats posed by advanced artificial intelligence models and submit time‑bound remediation plans by the end of June. This push comes after growing worries about “frontier” AI systems—like Anthropic’s Claude Mythos. Recent tests showed Mythos can pull off multi-step attack chains that spot and exploit software flaws much quicker than any hacker. The UK’s AI Safety Institute even ran a scenario where Mythos handled a 32-step corporate network breach on its own, which made regulators everywhere sit up and…

New Delhi: India has ramped up spot purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG) after contracted cargoes from Qatar were disrupted by the ongoing West Asia conflict, exposing structural vulnerabilities in the country’s energy supply and pressuring government finances. That disruption’s really exposed some gaps in India’s energy system and hit government finances hard. After none of India’s 16 gigawatts of gas-grid-connected power plants got their usual Qatari LNG in April, May, or June, spot purchases by Indian utilities shot up almost 300 percent, according to industry folks talking to LNG Journal. The government itself grabbed seven spot cargoes just for…

The guild, which represents folks like art directors, storyboard artists, production designers, and other creative pros in film and TV, says Scorsese’s support for FLUX undercuts the human collaboration at the core of filmmaking. In a Black Forest Labs video, Scorsese talks about storyboarding and visualizing ideas with FLUX. He says filmmakers need to stay “open to how [cinema] can evolve.” That didn’t sit well with the guild. They fired back with a statement called “Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux,” accusing him of turning his back on the artists who helped make his films memorable. Their statement…

Cambridge: A University of Cambridge-led research team has reported encouraging early results from a human trial of an experimental AI-designed vaccine aimed at providing broader protection against coronaviruses that could pose future pandemic risks. They worked with DIOSynVax, a Cambridge spin-out, to design the vaccine. It’s meant to target the bigger sarbecovirus family, which includes SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19), SARS-CoV-1, and a range of bat coronaviruses. Some of these bat viruses haven’t infected humans yet, but experts worry they could jump to people down the line. For this vaccine, the scientists didn’t just aim at one strain. Instead, they…

Announcing the lineup like this really shows that the U.S. has a focused plan for getting people back to the Moon. The flight, which should launch by the end of 2027, won’t actually land, though. Instead, the crew will practice docking and rendezvous maneuvers with test lunar landers from Blue Origin and SpaceX. From the Indian perspective—where space has grown into a blend of national pride and practical planning—Artemis III looks like an important, careful dress rehearsal before jumping back into Moon landings with people onboard. There’s a lot to like about how they’re doing this. The Artemis program relies…

Meta and Reliance Industries just announced they’re teaming up to build a huge, 168-megawatt AI data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This is Meta’s first custom-built data center in India, and honestly, it’s a big deal for the country as it keeps ramping up its tech infrastructure. Reliance is in charge of designing, building, and running the facility. Meta’s leasing it, with the option to expand if they need more muscle later. The center will run on renewable energy and use desalinated seawater for cooling, which lines up nicely with Reliance’s larger goals to push green energy and massive data capacities…

Larsen & Toubro is ramping up its use of robotics, prefabrication, and digital tools. As India’s biggest engineering and construction company, L&T wants to tackle manpower problems and boost execution on massive infrastructure projects. At the ICICI Securities India Investors Conference 2026, CFO R. Shankar Raman explained how, over the past few years, L&T’s been automating parts of construction you wouldn’t normally expect. Now, robots handle welding, painting, and plastering—stuff that used to need skilled hands. Raman calls these “digital workers,” with programs directing robots to take over jobs once reserved for manual labor. L&T’s projects have ballooned in size.…

Google is phasing out its Pixel Studio app and steering users toward Gemini for AI image generation and editing. If you update Pixel Studio now, you’ll notice the tools for making new images are gone. Instead, there’s a bold “Open Gemini” button—tap it, and you’ll either launch Gemini or land in Google Play to install it. Pixel Studio came out with recent Pixel phones. It let you generate AI images by typing prompts, make custom stickers, and edit screenshots or photos on the fly. Most folks used it for casual stuff—quick memes, zooming in on photo details, or just tinkering…
