What’s New Today: OpenAI will produce custom AI chips with Broadcom by 2026 to improve efficiency, performance, and control over large-scale AI workloads.
Fast-Track Insights: Nyayanidhi raised $2 million to build an AI-led litigation platform that accelerates legal documentation, improves reliability, and supports advocates across sectors.
Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the day's top tech stories, from OpenAI developing custom AI chips with Broadcom to apprenticeships giving engineering graduates practical experience and opportunities.
OpenAI has teamed up with Broadcom for extensive manufacturing and is set to introduce its AI chips in 2026. The firm will not rely on traditional GPUs and will therefore have more control over performance and supply, and at the same time lessen its dependency on Nvidia. The newly developed hardware will be able to train and deploy faster and more efficiently, supporting the growing AI ecosystem of the company.
Nyayanidhi, a legal tech startup based in Bengaluru, has raised $2 million in seed funding. 3one4 Capital is the main investor. The company is developing an AI-driven litigation operating system that will automate the legal documentation, translations, and filings very quickly and with a high degree of reliability. The platform is intended to partner with attorneys who will provide feedback and approval on the drafts and reduce weeks of labor to just a few hours. Considering that there are millions of cases pending in India, the startup is aiming at mitigating the challenges posed by the lengthy and documentation-intensive legal processes.
Although the companies have reduced full-time hiring, apprenticeships bring engineering graduates who find it hard to enter the job market to their doorsteps. Companies like SA Technologies, LatentView Analytics, and Hexagon's R&D India are now depending on apprentices to cope with their expanding tech and data roles. The schemes provide hands-on project experience, organized training, and lower pay, being economical for the companies. Many apprentices come from smaller towns, and strong conversion rates show how this model helps both companies and young talent.
AI takes over and alters today's labs' modern operations by cutting routine work, making everything more accurate, and speeding up research cycles, among others. More capable tools nowadays study complex data, tell how to run experiments, and give faster diagnostics and drug discovery support. While the prices and data confidentiality continue to be issues, the new technologies, such as digital twins and connected lab devices, have already given a hint of more sophisticated and productive laboratories of the future.
Japan is preparing to overhaul its crypto regulations by bringing digital assets under insider trading laws and lowering taxes on gains. The plan would bar insiders from trading on non-public events like listings or bankruptcies, while exchanges must disclose key facts about each asset. The Financial Services Agency also wants a flat 20 percent tax on crypto profits, matching stocks. Banks and insurers may distribute crypto through regulated channels, aiming to build trust and improve market transparency.
