Meta to Cut Off 10% of its Workforce in New Round of Layoffs

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

This announcement is huge for the tech industry. Growth isn’t just about adding more people, it’s about how efficiently companies can work and what kind of technology they use.

Anthropic’s Meeting with the White House: Who Sets the Limits for AI?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

A major AI executive heading to the White House is not a novelty but a sign of where power is moving. When Dario Amodei showed up for the high-level talks, the question wasn’t just about the technology, it was about who’s actually in control. AI is gradually becoming a tool for geopolitics, and companies like Anthropic find themselves negotiating directly with governments about how far their technology should reach.

OpenAI’s Codex Turned into a “Superapp” as it Expands beyond Coding Tools

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 17, 2026

Key Highlights: The updates to Codex mark a shift in how AI tools are built and used. OpenAI doesn’t see Codex as just a coding assistant anymore, it’s turning it into a system that works across your whole computer. Recent reports say the upgraded Codex can run desktop programs, automate workflows, and keep multiple agents working in the background, so it’s more like a workplace automation engine than a single-purpose helper. Anthropic’s Claude Code jumped into the market and quickly became a real player among AI coding tools, which has pushed OpenAI to pick up the pace. We’re not just […]

Meet Ising – World’s First Family of Open AI Models for Quantum Computing by NVIDIA

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 15, 2026

Key highlights: NVIDIA’s recent push into quantum computing shows the industry is shifting its focus on one of technology’s toughest frontiers. Instead of going after better quantum hardware, the company is investing in artificial intelligence as the way to unlock real quantum performance. Its new Ising models are meant to sit between fragile quantum processors and practical uses, working as a stabilizing and optimizing layer. Quantum computing has always made big promises like drug discovery, cryptography, and large-scale optimization; but even after years of effort, these systems still make mistakes. The Ising models are a practical move in that direction […]
