Cloudflare Launches ‘Pay per Crawl’ to Let Publishers Charge AI Bots for Access

With a new solution from Cloudflare, website owners may now profit from access to AI bot crawlers using a "pay per crawl" paradigm. By charging publishers microfees for content scraping or blocking AI crawlers by default, the solution gives authors more control over how their work is used. With AI models increasingly extracting data without referencing the original sources, this change addresses the decline in referral traffic. Prominent publishers including Reddit, TIME, and Condé Nast back the effort. A permissionbased ecosystem is the goal of Cloudflares solution, which also authenticates AI bots and enforces access limits. The action balances innovation with just recompense for artists, marking a significant shift in the way content is valued online. Read More..

U.S.–China Sign Trade Pact Granting Rare Earth Access, Easing Tech Tensions

A recent trade agreement between the United States and China allows Chinese students to attend American institutions and gives American firms access t

A recent trade agreement between the United States and China allows Chinese students to attend American institutions and gives American firms access to rare earth materials. Following previous negotiations in Geneva and London that reduced tariff tensions, President Trump announced the agreement, which Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed. While the U.S. will relax some limitations on Chinese nationals, China will speed up export certifications for rare earths, which are essential for technology and defence. Both sides referred to the agreement as "signed and sealed," but neither party provided exact volumes or deadlines. In light of the uncertain global economy, the agreement represents a major deescalation in trade hostilities and reflects shared efforts to stabilise supply chains and strengthen bilateral connections.

Piyush Goyal to Meet Exporters Amid May Decline and West Asia Tensions

On June 30, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal will meet with exporters and business executives to discuss Indias export difficulties in the context of We

On June 30, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal will meet with exporters and business executives to discuss Indias export difficulties in the context of West Asian tensions and continuing trade talks with the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union. Following a 2.17% drop in Mays goods exports, the government is aiming for $900 billion in exports in FY26. Freight costs, reciprocal tariffs, and trade disruptions—particularly with regard to the textile industry—will all be discussed. India depends on the Strait of Hormuz for its energy imports, and the ceasefire between Iran and Israel has reduced shipping dangers along this crucial route. Additionally, India is working to complete free trade agreements and prevent tariff increases before the July 9 reciprocaltariff suspension deadline. Read More..

Thai Finance Minister Heads to U.S. to Avert 36% Tariff on Exports

In an effort to avoid imposing a high 36% tariff on Thai exports, Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira is visiting the United States for two days

In an effort to avoid imposing a high 36% tariff on Thai exports, Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira is visiting the United States for two days of exchange discussions. There is urgency since a moratorium ends on July 9 and, if no new agreement is reached, the U.S. may slap even higher tariffs. Most countries are currently subject to a 10% tariff during the hiatus. It was hoped by Chunhavajira that Thailands rate would not be higher than that of other nations. The goal of Thai officials is to achieve better terms and prolong the negotiation window. For Thai exporters, the negotiations are crucial since a bad outcome might increase costs and reduce competitiveness in the already volatile world trade environment. Read More..

Canada Scraps Digital Services Tax to Revive U.S. Trade Talks Before July 21 Deadline

Days after President Trump halted trade negotiations in retribution for the Digital Services Tax DST, Canada has revoked the tax in an effort to resum

Days after President Trump halted trade negotiations in retribution for the Digital Services Tax DST, Canada has revoked the tax in an effort to resume talks with the United States. During the recent G7 Summit, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump decided to start talking again with the goal of reaching an agreement by July 21, 2025. The DST, a 3% tax on Canadian tech companies earnings, drew criticism for specifically targeting American corporations such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta. The tax was scheduled to go into effect on June 30 and be paid retroactively beginning in January 2022. In an effort to establish a more comprehensive economic and security alliance, Canadas finance minister promised to propose legislation to repeal the DST. Read More..

OpenAI Rents Google TPUs, Marking First Major Shift From Nvidia and Microsoft

With the launch of ChatGPT and other products, OpenAI has made its first significant move away from Nvidia GPUs and Microsoft data centres by starting

With the launch of ChatGPT and other products, OpenAI has made its first significant move away from Nvidia GPUs and Microsoft data centres by starting to rent Googles AI chips TPUs. By utilising the infrastructure of Google Cloud, the move seeks to lower inference costs and satisfy increasing computational demands. This deal represents an unexpected alliance between two AI competitors, even if OpenAI is still a major Nvidia customer. To draw in big clients like Apple, Anthropic, and now OpenAI, Google is, in turn, making its internal TPUs more widely available. OpenAI is apparently not receiving Googles most potent TPUs, though. The agreement underscores the growing competition and changing alliances in the struggle for control of AI infrastructure. Read More..
