Amazon will invest up to $50 billion from 2026 to expand AI and supercomputing capacity for U.S. government agencies, adding 1.3 GW of secure compute infrastructure to boost intelligence, defense, research, cybersecurity, and large-scale AI development across classified cloud regions.
UK startup Uniphy has received £3M from Mercia Ventures to develop an integrated chip and miniaturise its touch-free interface tech. Its pressure-sensitive, gesture-enabled 3D controls aim to replace touchscreens in cars, appliances, and future mobile devices with safer, more intuitive interactions.
Apple has let go of dozens of sales employees across business, education, and government teams in a rare organisational cut. The move is part of efforts to streamline operations and shift more sales to third-party resellers, as the company heads toward a record Rs 140 billion-plus December-quarter revenue.
Google has published three key guidelines to help users achieve sharper, more accurate results from Gemini 3: keep prompts short, specify tone upfront, and place context before instructions, as ways to improve clarity as the AI's reasoning becomes more complex.
Analyst James Check warns that quantum computers may expose millions of long-dormant Bitcoin, not because of weak technology, but because of political deadlock over migrating to quantum-safe wallets. Without consensus, old coins could be hacked and dumped, disrupting supply and market stability.
