Claude Sonnet is used for composing, revising, and testing code in the AIpowered coding assistant that Apple and Anthropic have developed and incorporated into Xcode. Apple has not yet made a decision on whether to make it publicly available after initially releasing it for internal testing. The action comes after Swift Assist, Apples prior attempt, was plagued by delayed development and hallucinations. With their sophisticated AIdriven coding tools, competitors like Google and OpenAI may be able to overtake Apple thanks to this partnership. If the assistant proves effective, it might be made available to other developers, improving Swift programming and the creation of apps for Apple products. Read More..

Microsoft advised users to switch to Microsoft Teams for improved communication and teamwork after shutting down Skype on 5th May 2025. With their current login information, Skype users can access Teams while keeping their contacts and messages intact. While new Skype Credit purchases and subscriptions have been suspended, current users are still able to use their plans through the conclusion of the payment cycle. Until they expire, Skype numbers are still valid and transferable to different carriers. Given competition from Zoom and Google Meet, Microsofts decision underscores Skypes waning relevance. By combining productivity tools for both personal and professional use, the move is consistent with its emphasis on Teams as the main communication platform. Read More..

In response to recent restrictions on its H20 AI processors, Nvidia is developing AI chips for the Chinese market in order to comply with U.S. export laws. Major Chinese clients Tencent, ByteDance, and Alibaba have been notified by the corporation that a new chip type will be available by June 2025. During his April trip to Beijing, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang talked about these goals and emphasised the companys attempts to maintain its market presence in spite of regulatory obstacles. Furthermore, in an effort to optimise performance within U.S. bounds, Nvidia is creating a Chinaspecific variant of its most recent Blackwell AI technology. The action emphasises the significance of China to Nvidias operations and the ongoing trade disputes between the United States and China over AI chips. Read More..

Beyond OpenAI, Microsoft is getting ready to host Elon Musks Grok AI model on its Azure cloud platform. Through Azure AI Foundry, developers will be able to include Musks xAIdeveloped Grok model in their apps. Despite its multibilliondollar investment in OpenAI, Microsoft is diversifying by evaluating models from DeepSeek, Meta, and xAI. Musk is suing OpenAI for allegedly abandoning its nonprofit objective, which is why the move comes amid tensions between the two companies. Microsoft will simply offer hosting space it will not supply the technology needed to train upcoming Grok models. On 19 May, at Microsoft Build, the official announcement might be made. Read More..

Adani Group Halts $10 Billion Semiconductor Talks with Tower Over Market Concerns

Concerns about the market and strategy have caused Adani Group to halt negotiations with Tower Semiconductor of Israel on a $10 billion semiconductor

Concerns about the market and strategy have caused Adani Group to halt negotiations with Tower Semiconductor of Israel on a $10 billion semiconductor project. With a monthly production capacity of 80,000 wafers, the Maharashtra facility was expected to boost Indias semiconductor aspirations and generate 5,000 jobs. Negotiations stagnated, though, as Adani questioned domestic demand and demanded a larger financial commitment from Tower beyond its technological knowhow. This loss comes after the VedantaFoxconn joint venture failed, underscoring Indias difficulties in chipmaking in spite of government incentives. China and the United States own a combined 54% of the global semiconductor business, whereas Indias share is only 6.5%. The halt calls into question Indias capacity to draw in toptier semiconductor investments. Read More..

Beyond analysts average estimate of $160.91 billion, Amazon has projected secondquarter sales between $159 billion and $164 billion. This indicates resiliency in the face of tariffrelated uncertainty as the business manages possible retail business disruptions. On the other hand, Microsofts Azure outperformed projections, and Amazon Web Services AWS announced a revenue rise of 16.9%, falling short of 17.4% predictions. Investors responded badly, as evidenced by the 5% decline in Amazon shares during afterhours trading. Concerns about cloud expansion notwithstanding, Amazons online ad sales increased 19% to $13.92 billion, solidifying its place as a big player behind Alphabet and Meta. Maintaining low retail pricing and minimising the effects of tariffs on sellers are the companys top priorities. Read More..
