OpenAI is getting ready to release GPT5, a unified AI model that combines the multimodal capabilities of the GPTseries with the sophisticated reasoning of the Oseries. GPT5, which is referred to as a "net new great frontier model," attempts to do away with the necessity of model changeover by dynamically adjusting to user requirements. Additionally, it might interface with OpenAIs Operator AI agent, a computerusing agent that can operate independently on devices and the internet. Text, image, audio, and maybe video inputs should all be supported by the model, providing a smooth, featurerich experience. Although a formal release date has not been set, OpenAI officials have alluded to a July or August 2025 debut, which would represent a significant advancement in unified, generalpurpose AI.

According to reports, Apple considered introducing Project ACDC Apple Chips in Data Centres, an internal project, as a public cloud platform to compete with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. As an affordable substitute for servers with a lot of GPUs, the program sought to provide developers access to Apples Mseries CPUs, which are renowned for their energy efficiency and AI inference capabilities. These processors are already part of Apples Private Cloud computing infrastructure, which powers services like Music, Photos, and Siri. Apple intended to use its Developer Relations group to handle access rather than establishing a conventional sales force. However, once Michael Abbott, the projects leader, left in 2023, the projects future is unclear. Although there has been no confirmation of a public debut, discussions are said to have lasted into early 2024. Read More..

India Warned as U.S.–Vietnam Deal Imposes Flat 20% Tariff, Ends Preferential Access

According to a report by the Global Trade Research Initiative GTRI, India is concerned about a new trade agreement between the United States and Vietn

According to a report by the Global Trade Research Initiative GTRI, India is concerned about a new trade agreement between the United States and Vietnam. The 2000 Bilateral Trade Agreements 2–10% concessional tariffs have been replaced with a flat 20% tariff on all Vietnamese exports to the United States.

Albanese 10% U.S. Tariff Likely to Stay, But Australia Will Keep Pushing for Exemption

The 10% U.S. baseline tax on Australian exports is expected to stay in effect after the July 9 deadline, according to Australian Prime Minister Anthon

The 10% U.S. baseline tax on Australian exports is expected to stay in effect after the July 9 deadline, according to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Introduced in April as part of President Trumps reciprocal trade policy, the tax covers a wide range of goods from trading partners in the United States. No nation has a lower rate than 10%, according to Albanese, and although Australia will keep pushing for an exception, the existing rate is still rather advantageous. Tensions in the Middle East forced the cancellation of a scheduled meeting with Trump at the G7 Summit, but Albanese seemed upbeat about future interactions. The administration is still dedicated to negotiating better conditions while keeping close bilateral relations with the United States. Read More..

By a slim vote of 218–214, the U.S. House enacted President Trump’s expansive tax and spending plan, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill." The plan increases military and immigration enforcement money, offers new deductions for seniors, overtime, and tips, and makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent. Moreover, it severely reduces Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy subsidies, which Democrats strongly object to. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it will increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion over the course of the following ten years. Trumps aggressive lobbying helped ensure passage despite internal GOP differences. He will sign the law on July 4 and will portray it as a key component of his secondterm plan and an engine of economic expansion. Read More..
