AI company news, venture capital funding, startup launches, mergers, acquisitions, and major market moves in the AI industry.
Sam Altman has decided to buy a ticket for Elon Musk’s favorite race. OpenAI is now backing Merge Labs, a startup trying to build brain-computer interfaces.
The legal complaint landed with a human face, not a corporate statement. Clair, mother to one of Elon Musk's children, says xAI's Grok generated a deepfake that stripped her naked.
Every AI vendor wants you to stare at the trillion-parameter gorilla. MongoDB is pointing at the library card catalog instead.
For $130, Raspberry Pi now sells an AI co-processor. This new HAT+ 2 board packs 8GB of RAM specifically for running local generative AI models like Llama 3.2 and several Qwen variants.
The Indian Army and Navy have a new jammer on order. Not a prototype, but a finished product from IG Defence, slated for delivery next month. Every component is made in India, and it works.
OpenAI is teaching nonprofits how to use its tools. The lesson is happening in a room in Bengaluru, far from Silicon Valley's usual pitch decks. People from aid groups are sitting with engineers. They are not discussing the future of consciousness.
Elon Musk's praise is a strategic asset, and he deployed it this week on a surprising target: Anthropic. The AI lab, founded by ex-OpenAI safety researchers, has blocked his own xAI from using its Claude models.
Ola Electric has thrown open its 4680 Bharat Cell platform to Indian startups, offering them direct access to cells and battery packs that can power everything from humanoids and drones to portable medical equipment.
India has AI startups that can code. Now they need to learn how to sell. Google’s new Market Access Programme is a corporate finishing school for that exact problem, aiming to turn local technical talent into international business contenders.
Google wrote the first check. Now Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and a clutch of hungry AI labs are paying, too. They are buying premium access to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia their empires cannot live without.
Mergers and acquisitions have long been a high-stakes game of manual grunt work, gut instinct, and missed opportunities. GrowthPal is rewriting that playbook.
Mira Murati just hired a Vellore Institute of Technology graduate to be the CTO of her new company. This comes after she left OpenAI in late 2024, quickly secured a staggering $2 billion, and launched Thinking Machines Lab.
A doll, a hit-and-run, and an archivist who can't keep a secret. A film built on this quiet premise just beat out hundreds of flashier entries for the top global prize in AI filmmaking.
India has decided to keep its data at home. The latest move in this effort is a partnership between BharathCloud and real estate firm JLL to build a network of sovereign, AI-ready cloud centers.
Corporate checkbooks are flying open for AI, but a harsh reality is setting in: you can buy the tool, but you can’t buy the team to run it. The bottleneck isn't software; it's staff.
Infosys has quit dabbling in experiments. The firm is now a builder, and its construction site is an AI pipeline for the world's largest corporations. CEO Salil Parekh states the company is running 4,600 active AI projects.
Anthropic just wired $1.5 million to the Python Software Foundation. Don't call it charity. This is a direct investment in infrastructure. The target is PyPI, Python's sprawling package repository. It's a free-for-all; anyone can upload anything.
Another tech partnership, but this one might matter. The corporate world is littered with AI demos that went nowhere. TCS and AMD say they can build the exits from that highway.
Google is advancing medical AI on two fronts, and making both openly available. The company’s updated MedGemma model now processes CT scans and MRIs with sharper accuracy: a 3% gain on disease classification from CTs, a 14% leap on MRI-based tasks.
The market’s ear is tuned to a new frequency. Deepgram, the voice AI startup that has been quietly refining the art of real-time speech recognition, just announced a $130 million Series C round.
