It offers a low-friction way for enterprises to modernise their device fleets without shouldering the expense and complexity of full-spec 5G hardware. Gives utilities, manufacturers, logistics providers, smart-city operators and other sectors a credible path to scale connected devices and prepare for the industry’s long-term transition beyond LTE.

Hacker widely used third-party software and then leverages that single point of access to harvest data. Enterprises that rely on shared platforms such as Windchill and FlexPLM, the episode serves as a stark reminder that supply chain vulnerabilities can turn one unpatched system into a sprawling, multi-company breach.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced on Thursday that it has secured a mega order to build what it describes as India’s largest single-cluster AI infrastructure. The project will deploy 10,000 NVIDIA B300 GPUs at its Chennai data centre campus for Together AI, a US-based AI cloud company. The order has been classified in the range of Rs10,000 crore to Rs15,000 crore, marking one of the most significant AI infrastructure contracts in the country to date.

Provides the telco sector with a long-term framework to lay the foundation for a new phase in which connectivity evolves into intelligence, and digital infrastructure becomes a national platform for innovation and sustainable growth.

Is this a rational response to a genuine supply-chain bottleneck, or an act of industrial ambition that runs ahead of economic logic? When Elon Musk announces a factory, the superlatives arrive pre-packaged. Terafab, unveiled this week by SpaceX and Tesla, is no exception: at over 100 million square feet, it would be the largest building on Earth, backed by a $16.8 billion opening commitment that eclipses Tesla’s entire trailing twelve-month net income of roughly $3.8 billion by a factor of four.

Two companies aim to create an environment where hybrid quantum-AI workloads can be explored, tested, and eventually operationalised at scale. OCI customers will gain secure, managed access to Helios through OCI’s forthcoming quantum service. Oracle gets an opportunity to create a unique deeply integrated environment for hybrid workloads, explore enterprise use cases with customers, and accelerate commercial adoption.

After the US, Israel records highest layoffs, followed by India and Singapore. In a year that was supposed to mark the industry’s return to stability, global technology companies have instead shed 1,63,427 jobs since January 2026 — and artificial intelligence has been cited as a factor in well over half of those cuts.

The Indian government has drawn a sharp line in the sand for Big Tech, turning its regulatory gaze toward Meta over the proliferation of deepfakes and harmful AI-generated content on its platforms. In what could evolve into a landmark test of platform accountability under Indian law, the Centre has asked the social media giant to take corrective action and is simultaneously examining whether Meta’s algorithmic content curation undermines its legal standing as a mere intermediary.

Data centres — racing to power the next generation of AI models —expected to consume a staggering 70% of all memory chips manufactured in 2026, leaving consumer device makers scrambling for what little remains. Memory now represents a growing share of the bill of materials for laptops and PCs. The sticker shock is real, and it’s spreading. From the smartphone in your pocket to the laptop on your desk, the cost of consumer electronics is climbing at a pace not seen in years.

OpenAI said that its in-development frontier model Astra has demonstrated potential for “critical” cybersecurity capabilities, triggering an internal safety protocol that has paused unsecured activities involving the system and slowed its path to release.
