- Hype or real cash flow: China’s robot boom faces reality check as commercialisation lags
A desk with a laptop and a stack of books. A shirt waiting to be folded. A kitchen counter, a milk-tea stand and pile of building blocks – all in a single room. Robots of different shapes face their tasks with focus, controlled by a human operator. Pick up. Place. Fold. Repeat. This is not a film set, it is a data collection factory for embodied intelligence – a de facto “data foundry”. The facility, in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang hi-tech zone, is run by Agibot, a fast-rising robotics company. The...
- China targets top spot in supercomputing with fully domestic, CPU-only machine
China has unveiled a new supercomputer built from entirely home-grown CPUs, with the aim of beating the world’s fastest machine while sidestepping US export controls. Known as Lingsheng or LineShine, it is designed to reach 2 exaflops – or two quintillion calculations per second – edging past the 1.8-exaflop El Capitan, the current record holder at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Unlike other exascale supercomputers, which rely on graphics processing units (GPUs),...
- AI-native spending surged 94 per cent. Traditional SaaS grew at eight. The enterprise software industry is watching the clock.
The enterprise software industry spent two decades selling seats. Buy a licence for every employee who needs access, multiply by the number of employees, and the revenue model was as predictable as the quarterly earnings calls that reported it. Then AI agents arrived, and the arithmetic broke. In the first quarter of 2026, AI-native spending […] This story continues at The Next Web

- I Ran a 637MB LLM on My Base MacBook Air, and Now I’m Questioning Everything
A weekend experiment turned into a small revelation about where AI is actually heading. No GPU. No cloud. No API key. Just a tiny model and a laptop fan that didn’t even spin up. I wasn’t expecting much. It was a quiet evening, my MacBook Air was sitting on the kitchen counter, and I had this nagging itch to try one of those “tiny” local LLMs everyone keeps tweeting about. You know the type. The ones people swear are “almost as good as GPT” if you squint hard enough. So I downloaded a 637MB model. Yes, megabytes. Not gigabytes. The kind of file that fits on a USB stick I lost in 2014. I typed in a prompt expecting nonsense. What came back made me sit up straight. The first response. I read it twice The Setup (Nothing Fancy, I Promise) Here’s the embarrassing part: my machine is not impressive. A base MacBook Air. The kind your aunt buys for emails. No external GPU, no fancy cooling pad, no overclocked anything. Just a stock laptop and a vague sense of curiosity. For the model, I picked

- AI-led job cuts don’t always mean stronger ROI — Gartner
Businesses tend to eye AI spending as a way to reduce headcount, but firms that cut staffers as a result of AI are doing no better than those who don’t, according to new Gartner research . Gartner recently surveyed 350 global business leaders at large organizations already using AI agents and intelligent automation tools and found that 80% of them reported a lowered headcount as a result of AI initiatives — in some cases by up to 20%. But those layoffs appear to be less beneficial than senior leaders might assume. “There’s no connection or correlation between people who are achieving ROI and layoffs,” said Helen Poitevin, distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner, adding that labor reduction is “not the best” ROI metric. Other factors such as revenue, growth, and time to market are more effective in achieving a strong ROI. “Those who only look to the workforce tend to be the ‘laggards,’ because they’re not going after the broader set of value that they can get to,” she said.

- Krutrim pivots to AI cloud, clocks Rs 300 Cr revenue in FY26
Krutrim, the artificial intelligence startup founded by Bhavish Aggarwal, has shifted its focus to AI cloud services and reported around Rs 300 crore in revenue for FY26, nearly three times higher than last year. The company has stepped back from its earlier plans to build its own large language models and semiconductor chips. Instead, it is now focusing on offering AI infrastructure, including cloud-based compute and tools for businesses. This change in strategy seems to be working. Krutrim said it turned profitable during the year and is now running a more capital-efficient business. It also indicated that it does not need to raise fresh funds immediately. Krutrim has built its own AI cloud platform and is already working with more than 25 enterprise clients across sectors like mobility, fintech, and e-commerce. Growing demand for GPU-based computing has supported this business. The pivot also comes after a period of restructuring. Last year, the company laid off more than 150 employ
