What’s New Today: IBM revealed its current project of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer named Quantum Starling.
Fast-Track Insights: Wandercraft, a renowned self-balancing robotic mobility organization has announced a US$75 million Series D funding round.
Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the day's top tech stories, from the IBM Supercomputer project to the National Insurance Company Limited recruitment 2025.
IBM has introduced a new quantum processor featuring advanced error‑correction techniques, marking a significant step toward its 2029 goal: the Starling supercomputer. Leveraging low-density parity check (LDPC) codes, the chip aims to dramatically reduce qubit error rates and scale up the number of logical qubits. This milestone transforms quantum computing from a scientific exploration into a major engineering project, paving the way for practical, large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum machines.
Wandercraft closed a US$75 million Series D round on June 11, 2025 to accelerate its AI-driven robotics: scaling Eve, the world’s first self-balancing personal exoskeleton, into consumer markets by 2026, expanding clinical use of Atalante X across 100+ institutions, and deploying Calvin‑40 industrial humanoids. Backed by Renault, Bpifrance, and others, this funding follows prior support—a €25M EIB loan and a US$45M Series C—and positions the startup for global growth in rehab, mobility, and automation.
The National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) has released the official notification for the 2025 Administrative Officer (AO) recruitment, opening 266 vacancies for generalist and specialist roles. Online applications start June 12, 2025, via the NICL website. Candidates should review eligibility criteria, age limits, and educational qualifications. The selection process will include a preliminary exam, a main exam, and an interview. This presents a valuable opportunity for aspiring professionals in the government insurance sector.

The U.S. Senate advanced the GENIUS Act in a 68–30 cloture vote on June 11, clearing the path for a final floor vote as early as Monday. This legislation would require dollar-backed reserves, annual audits for issuers over US$50 billion, and impose rules on foreign stablecoins. Sponsors argue it enhances innovation and national security, while opponents, led by Senator Warren, warn it lacks critical safeguards and risks conflict‑of‑interest involving Trump’s crypto interests
