Poland’s Central Bank Poised to Cut Rates to 5.50% Amid Sluggish Growth

Amid weak consumer demand and decreasing inflation, Polands central bank is anticipated to lower its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.5

Amid weak consumer demand and decreasing inflation, Polands central bank is anticipated to lower its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% on Wednesday, its first action since March. The expected easing is attributed by analysts to a slowdown in economic activity and a decline in core inflation. After an unexpected rate drop in September 2023, the rate has been steady for months. Even if headline inflation decreased to 4.8% in July, slow growth and falling retail sales continue to be causes for concern. In light of the impending parliamentary elections, the National Bank of Poland seeks to strike a balance between economic stimulus and inflation control. As global central banks move towards cautious rate adjustments in the face of uneven recovery trends, markets are intently monitoring any indications regarding future monetary policy. Read More..

In order to expedite domestic semiconductor manufacture, Intel has secured early access to $5.7 billion in federal financing through an amendment to its CHIPS Act deal with the U.S. Commerce Department. Intel can now access funding ahead of schedule to support important projects in Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, and Oregon thanks to the updated agreement. This action supports Washingtons efforts to improve national security and lessen dependency on Asian chipmakers. In addition, Intel will get $11 billion in tax breaks and loans, along with supervision clauses. The goal of the funding is to restore U.S. leadership in semiconductor innovation by supporting improved chip production and packaging. The revision highlights the rising need to create robust supply chains in the face of geopolitical conflicts and global tech competition. Read More..

Trump Threatens 200% Tariff on China Over RareEarth Magnet Supply

If Beijing is unable to provide rareearth magnets, which are essential parts for defence systems, electric cars, and smartphones, U.S. President Donal

If Beijing is unable to provide rareearth magnets, which are essential parts for defence systems, electric cars, and smartphones, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese goods by 200%. Despite a 90day tariff truce between the United States and China that was agreed to on August 12, the warning was given before his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. Trade tensions have escalated due to the recent tightening of export regulations by China, the worlds largest producer of rareearth elements. Trumps remarks, which have not yet received an official response from Beijing, indicate a tough posture during precarious discussions. The threat complicates the already tense U.S.China trade relationship by bringing up issues with global supply chains and perhaps inciting retaliatory actions. Read More..

WhatsApp users can now reword, proofread, or change the tone of their messages using its AIpowered "Writing Help" tool. The application, which is powered by Metas Private Processing technology, protects message privacy because neither Meta nor WhatsApp has access to the original messages or AI recommendations. Users can select styles such as professional, humorous, or encouraging examples range from polished alternatives to "sock graveyard" humour. By keeping users inside WhatsApps ecosystem, the functionality seeks to lessen dependency on thirdparty applications like ChatGPT. Writing Help, which can be accessed by a pencil icon while creating messages, is being made available in English in a few locations. Critics point out that many users still prefer the authenticity of private conversations unaltered by AI, even though it is helpful for official communication. Read More..

By years end, Metas Superintelligence Lab is rushing to release its first product, a cuttingedge AI model called Llama 4.X. The model, internally known as Llama 4.5, attempts to improve upon Scout and Maverick, which were criticised for their poor performance on coding and reasoning tasks, and to address issues. Since its founding in June 2025, the lab has experienced both early personnel exits and highprofile hires from OpenAI and Google DeepMind. CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for nextgeneration development while confirming progress on Llama 4.1 and 4.2. The haste is a reflection of Metas desire to take back the lead in AI and address the lacklustre response of earlier models. The launch might be a turning point for Metas billiondollar AI investment, despite internal issues. Read More..

Microsoft Debuts MAI Voice1 and MAI1 Models to Power Copilot Ecosystem

In an effort to lessen dependency on OpenAI and fortify its Copilot ecosystem, Microsoft has introduced its first inhouse AI models, MAI Voice1 and MA

In an effort to lessen dependency on OpenAI and fortify its Copilot ecosystem, Microsoft has introduced its first inhouse AI models, MAI Voice1 and MAI1preview. With a single GPU, MAI Voice1, which specialises in natural voice production, can create a minute of audio in less than a second. With customisation possible through Copilot Labs, it drives features like Copilot Daily and explainers that sound like podcasts. The textbased foundation model MAI1preview prioritises efficiency above scale and was trained on 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. It is accessible for public testing on LMArena and is optimised for consumer use, despite being smaller than competitors like xAIs Grok. As concerns about development costs and industry mergers grow, Microsofts multimodel strategy seeks to create customised AI systems with an emphasis on sustainability and longterm independence.
