India and Japan on Wednesday strengthened their cooperation in emerging technologies and health research, with both countries exchanging agreements in the fields of quantum science and medical devices during a high-level bilateral meeting in New Delhi.

Nvidia today announced the world’s first family of open-source quantum AI models, named NVIDIA Ising. Instead of competing with the chatbots on your phone, these models are designed to act as the "operating system" for the next generation of supercomputers: quantum processors. By making Ising "open source," Nvidia is giving researchers and enterprises the keys to build their own high-performance AI tools while keeping total control over their data.

Elon Musk agreed with a post highlighting Google CEO Sundar Pichai's vision of space-based data centers becoming "the new normal" within a decade. This aligns with Musk's own long-held views on utilizing space for large-scale infrastructure. Pichai previously mentioned Google's "moon shot" to place data centers in orbit to harness solar energy, with a first step planned for 2027.

During his US visit, King Charles III highlighted the funding hurdles faced by British startups, particularly the 'valley of death' stage. He met with tech titans like Jeff Bezos and Jensen Huang, who discussed AI and the need for robust venture capital. This follows a significant $42 billion investment pledge by Big Tech firms in the UK.
