With speeds up to 5,000Mbps for $245 per month, residents looking for the best speeds shouldn't look elsewhere. However, if you end up outside the internet service provider's area, we recommend Spectrum's cable service as a fantastic alternative. For residents with smaller budgets who want to keep their costs low, we rec

Google brings its AI-powered marketing tools to India after ‘Google tax’ repeal

In large parts of a country with several major languages, it vies with Hindi—the most commonly used Indian language—as the spoken language of choice. There is a range of ability from a mere smattering of words, to some amount of rudimentary communication, to

The Download: India’s AI independence, and predicting future epidemics

Despite its status as a global tech hub, India lags far behind the likes of the US and China when it comes to homegrown AI. That gap has opened largely because India has chronically underinvested in R&D, institutions, and invention. Meanwhile, since no one native language is spoken by the majority of the population, training language models is far more complicated than it is elsewhere. So when the open-source foundation model DeepSeek-R1 suddenly outperformed many global peers, it struck a

Inside India’s scramble for AI independence

For example, Sarvam AI has created OpenHathi-Hi-v0.1, an open-source Hindi language model that shows the Indian AI field’s growing ability to address the country’s vast linguistic diversity. The model, built on Meta’s Llama 2 architecture, was trained on 40 billion tokens of Hindi and related Indian-language content, making it one of the largest open-source Hindi models available to date.

The Nothing Phone 3 finally launched yesterday, and it looks like a well-rounded Android phone with a polarizing design. However, it turns out that one regional variant has a bigger batter

Trump Mobile Draws Attention to Purism's $1,999 Liberty Phone

The Trump Organization drew headlines last week when it announced the launch of Trump Mobile, a cell service with plans to release a gold T1 phone in September.

Tesla Might Have a Fix for the Elon Musk Problem

Tesla is having a nightmarish year, and much of the damage can be traced directly to its CEO, Elon Musk. After spending nearly $290 million to help Donald Trump return to the White House, Musk took on a tailor-made role in the administration, heading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). His push to slash federal agencies and cut social programs, combined with his embrace of controversial theories, sparked global protests outside Tesla showrooms. The company’s liberal customer bas
