Mumbai: OpenAI just made a move that screams dominance: tens of billions in AMD chips and a potential 10% stake in the $270bn chipmaker. ChatGPT isn’t just learning, it’s building an empire. OpenAI Goes Big on Chips OpenAI, the San Francisco AI juggernaut, has signed a deal to buy AMD processors with a total power draw of 6 gigawatts. For context, that’s roughly the electricity Singapore consumes on average. Let that sink in: one start-up is about to demand the energy of a small country just to feed its AI appetite. The dollar figure? The companies are tight-lipped. But OpenAI’s…

Mumbai: Nearly 29 million Apple and Samsung users in the UK could soon get a slice of justice, and a £480 million payout, as consumer group “Which?” Drags chipmaker Qualcomm to court for allegedly inflating smartphone prices. The Fight for £480 Million It’s not every Monday that the world’s most powerful chipmaker gets its day in a British courtroom. But this week, Qualcomm found itself under the sharp glare of the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in London, accused of using its market dominance to make everyday consumers pay more for their iPhones and Galaxys. The consumer champion, “Which?” It is…

Mumbai: India just pulled off what most economies only dream about, adding nearly 17 crore jobs in six years while slicing unemployment nearly in half. That’s not a blip. That’s a shift. Jobs Are Back, and India Means Business Let’s skip the small talk. Between 2017–18 and 2023–24, India created a staggering 16.83 crore jobs, pushing total employment to 64.33 crore. That’s not just a statistic, it’s a statement. A six-year rally that turned the labour market from cautious optimism to full-blown acceleration. The unemployment rate, once hovering at 6%, crashed to 3.2%, its lowest in years. And the momentum…

Delhi: India’s manganese powerhouse, MOIL [Manganese Ore (India) Limited], just dropped its best-ever September numbers, and they’re not playing small ball. Production is up. Sales are up. Exploration is up. When a PSU starts sounding like a high-performance startup, you know something’s shifting underground, literally. The September Story: Breaking the Mould Let’s start with the headline stat: MOIL clocked 1.52 lakh tonnes of production in September 2025, the highest ever for the month. That’s a 3.8% bump over last year. For a mining company that’s been around since the Nehruvian era, that kind of growth still speaks of hustle, not…

Mumbai: The Israel Gaza war is at a dangerous crossroads. Hostages may finally walk free, and Donald Trump is demanding Israel hit pause on its airstrikes. It’s a glimmer of hope in a conflict that has left Gaza reeling for nearly two years. Trump Calls for an Immediate Ceasefire Donald Trump doesn’t usually tiptoe into crises quietly. On social media, the former U.S. president made a blunt demand: Israel must immediately stop bombing Gaza. His rationale? You can’t rescue hostages while bombs are raining down. “Israel must stop the bombing in Gaza immediately. The hostages’ safety comes first,” Trump declared,…

Mumbai: OpenAI just did what everyone thought only Elon Musk could: dominate headlines and investors alike. The AI start-up is now worth $500 billion, officially outpacing SpaceX as the world’s most valuable privately held company. OpenAI Overtakes SpaceX OpenAI’s latest secondary share sale has flipped the private company leaderboard. Employees sold roughly $6.6 billion of stock to investors, including Thrive Capital, SoftBank, Dragoneer Investment Group, Abu Dhabi’s MGX, and T. Rowe Price. By comparison, SpaceX was valued at $400 billion in July. Yes, the same Elon Musk empire that’s been launching rockets into space is now playing second fiddle to…

Mumbai: Elon Musk just became the first person ever to reach a $500 billion net worth. Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, the guy isn’t just making cars or rockets; he’s rewriting the rules of wealth. Half a Trillion Dollars and Counting As of 4:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Forbes pegged Elon Musk’s net worth at $500.1 billion, briefly making him the first human ever to hit the half-trillion mark. By day’s end, estimates placed him at $499.1 billion, but the headline didn’t change: Musk is untouchable. Most of that wealth is tied to Tesla, where Musk owns more than 12.4% of shares…

Mumbai: Stop panicking! Meta isn’t eavesdropping through your phone’s microphone. But if you think Meta AI Ad Targeting won’t know you better than your best friend, think again. Mosseri Puts the Myth to Rest Instagram head Adam Mosseri went public on Wednesday to squash one of the internet’s favorite conspiracy theories: Meta secretly listening to users through their microphones. His take? It’s not happening. Not now, not ever, at least according to the tech giant. Mosseri posted that many people, including his own spouse, constantly ask how Meta seems to know exactly what they’re thinking. The short answer: the company…

New Delhi: For years, Digital Security has been chained to a dirty little secret: our “random numbers” aren’t really random. Computers simulate chance, but deep down they’re still deterministic machines playing pretend. Hackers know that. Governments know that. And anyone with enough resources can eventually crack those patterns. Enter certified quantum randomness, not a mouthful, but a game-changer. At the Raman Research Institute (RRI) in Bengaluru, a team led by Professor Urbasi Sinha has spent the last three years proving that unpredictability itself can be weaponized. Their latest breakthrough? Generating certified randomness on a single qubit, using nothing more than…
