As part of a larger fundraising initiative, Amazon has made its most significant external investment $2.75 billion to AI company Anthropic. OpenAI and ChatGPT are rivals of Anthropic, wellknown for its generative AI models and chatbot Claude. Through the agreement, Amazon will have a minority ownership but no board membership in Anthropic. The most recent AI model from Anthropic, Claude 3, performs better than rivals like Googles Gemini Ultra and OpenAIs GPT4. In 2023, investments in generative AI surged to $29.1 billion. Anthropic is required by the investment agreement to utilise Amazons chips and AWS for its models.

Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse Disrupts Shipping at Baltimore Port

One of the busiest ports in the United States has experienced disruptions to shipping and transportation operations due to the Francis Scott Key Bridg

One of the busiest ports in the United States has experienced disruptions to shipping and transportation operations due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Due to a collision with a container ship, the bridge collapsed, resulting in an indefinite suspension of ship traffic and the need to reroute goods and vessels. Supply chains will probably be impacted by the congestion and delays this occurrence causes for importers. Furthermore, transportation durations would treble due to the absence of the bridge, especially for hazardous products, which will result in delays and higher fuel expenses. Experts predict shortages and interruptions in ocean container shipping and East Coast transportation operations. At the same time, the full extent of the damage is still unknown. Read More..

Pakistan Considers Restoring Trade Ties with India, Signals Diplomatic Shift

Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Pakistans Foreign Minister, has hinted at a possible change in the countrys diplomatic approach towards India by saying that Pakistan will "seriously" examine mending commercial relations with its neighbour. During a press conference in London, Dar expressed how excited Pakistans business community is to begin economic activity with India. This declaration implies a change in strategy from Pakistans prior position in the wake of Indias withdrawal of Article 370 in August 2019, which resulted in a deterioration of diplomatic relations. In February 2021, both nations extended the truce along the Line of Control despite their tense ties. Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have recently spoken, raising expectations for a diplomatic thaw given Sharifs emphasis on economic development as the leader of Pakistans new coalition government.
