What’s New Today: Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek, the world’s biggest chipset provider, wants to produce its chips in India, after the domestic infrastructure is developed.
Fast-Track Insights: San Francisco-based audio data research lab David AI has raised $50 million in a Series B round led by Meritech and NVIDIA.
Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the top tech stories, from MediaTek’s India plans, to Indian Army recruitments.
MediaTek, one of the top Taiwanese fabless semiconductor companies, has shown eagerness to produce its chips in India when the domestic production facilities are set up. According to the firm, it would be economically wise to synchronize production with the growing Indian market for electronics and automobiles. In addition to having R&D operations in Noida and Bengaluru, MediaTek is increasing its engineering staff and keeping a close eye on the changes in India's semiconductor sector, the government's support measures, and the surrounding situation.
David AI, a San Francisco startup funded by Y Combinator, has successfully secured $50 million in a Series B funding round led by Meritech and NVIDIA, thus increasing its total financing to approximately $80 million. The startup plans to spend the funds on hiring more researchers, engineers and product developers, establishing closer relationships with AI labs and hardware companies, and improving its audio dataset and evaluation frameworks. The company is the first to do research on audio data and is working to create and collect quality speech datasets in different languages, emotions, and acoustic conditions to make it easier for AI to be deployed in the real world.
The Indian Army has released the TGC-143 notification for a Technical Graduate Course at IMA Dehradun, which will start in July 2026 and will grant permanent commissions to single male engineering graduates. Applications will be accepted between 8 October and 6 November 2025. To be eligible, a candidate must be born between July 1, 1999, and July 1, 2006, and must have a B.E./B.Tech degree in the engineering streams specified (or be in the final year of the degree). Five different disciplines, i.e. civil, CSE, electronics, mechanical, electrical, and others, are allocated thirty vacancies in total. The selection process consists of shortlisting, SSB interview, medical examination, and merit listing.
ChatGPT clear output comes from prompts that are well-designed. State your purpose clearly, give pertinent context or role guidance and attach example results to indicate tone and format. Instead of putting all instructions in one place, divide complicated tasks into smaller steps, thus avoiding instruction overload. Iterate and test variations continuously to further refine the clarity. Such structured practices turn the vague or machine-like outputs into more precise, context-aware, and human-like responses.
Google's Gemini AI predicts a significant rise, up to $10, for XRP on the basis of growing adoption and regulatory clarity. XLM might get up to $2.50, which is basically a projection based on its steady development output. At the same time, PEPE, a meme token, is expected to hit a value close to $0.00003, provided that speculation and market dynamics continue to be favorable.
