Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the top tech stories, from the Axelera AI Chip launch to the NTPC RRB recruitment.
Axelera AI, a European chip supplier, has just revealed its second AI inference processor, named ‘Europa’. The chip is intended for edge and enterprise applications, offering superb performance while consuming very little power. Axelera argues that the platform is an excellent choice to compete against the existing giants in the AI-accelerator market due to its scalability, efficiency, and strong connectivity for the workloads of generative AI and computer vision.
roclub, a teleoperation startup in the medical technology area established in 2022, secured $11.7 million in a Series A financing round led by Smedvig Ventures and YZR Capital. The money from the investment will be used to develop a cloud-based platform that is vendor-agnostic and allows remote operation of MRI and CT scanners by licensed technologists. Currently, roclub is operating in 11 countries and plans to launch its marketplace in late 2025, along with a strategic entry into the US market to address the shortage of technicians and enhance equipment usage.
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has launched the online application phase for the NTPC Graduate Recruitment 2026 at the graduate level, and there are more than 5,800 vacancies in several non-technical departments. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university or related institution and must apply through the official website within the application deadline. The selection process includes two Computer-Based Tests (CBT), typing tests, document verification, and medical tests. The RRB has also announced a correction window and varied fee status based on the application type.
Sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine learning systems in 2025 will require motherboards that can provide strong power delivery, have sufficient PCIe slots, support DDR5 memory, and allow multi-GPU configurations to lighten the workloads. VRM quality, latest chipsets, and high-speed expansion options are going to be very important for continuous training and data processing. Among the boards, AM5 and Z790-based platforms really stand out because they come with PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5 Gb LAN, and future-proof compatibility for both creators and researchers.
Coinbase's recent acquisition has brought back memories of the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) mania in the cryptocurrency industry, and indicates a resurgence of optimism and risk appetite. The acquisition highlights that more established companies are also opting for aggressive growth. Analysts cite this as a sign of a newly resurgent speculative mania, suggesting that the market feature may experience the same speculative excesses and facilitate innovation similar to ICOs.
