The Tech Download: Defense startups eye Iran war windfall as U.S. and Gulf states turn to tech

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 18:19:00 +0000

Once considered a taboo sector to funnel money into by venture capitalists, defense tech has seen a remarkable shift over the past few years.

It raised just $869 million globally in 2020, according to deal-counting platform Dealroom — a figure that rose more than tenfold to hit $11.2 billion in 2025.

A lot can change in five years.

Rising geopolitical tensions across the world have led states scrambling to modernize militaries and increasing commercial opportunities for new defense startups.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has given rise to a new kind of drone warfare. It also provided a test bed for new defense technology developed by startups, and now tech companies have their sights set on opportunities brought about by the conflict in the Middle East.

Over the past week, defense tech startups in the U.S. and Europe have told reporters at CNBC that they’re seeing increased demand and are eyeing commercial deals as a result of the conflict.

Rising demand

The Iran war is the “moment defense tech and Silicon Valley have been waiting for,” my colleague Samantha Subin wrote last Saturday.

For years, the sector has sought to compete with primes for a chunk of the ballooning Pentagon budget, and the U.S. campaign in the Middle East has provided an opening, startups told CNBC.

Several defense tech startups Subin spoke with for the story said demand had risen from Department of Defense customers since the U.S. and Israel first struck Iran at the end of February.

Many of those customers have offered to buy out capacity or asked firms to increase production, the businesses said.

In Europe, defense tech execs told me they’ve been ramping up commercial discussions with Middle East governments since the start of the war. Another defense CEO said interest from Gulf states was “skyrocketing” as they raced to bolster measures to counter drone and missile attacks.

More than 3,000 drones and missiles have been fired on the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait since the start of the conflict, according to data compiled by think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Meanwhile, staff numbers in the Middle East at European headquartered defense startups are set to rise. Estonian drone and missile interceptor startup Frankenburg technology and Ukrainian-UK Uforce both told me they were stepping up hiring plans in the region as a result of the Iran war.
Challenges ahead

But hurdles remain.

The U.S. government hasn’t offered a steady enough flow of contracts to rationalize scaling for some of the businesses trying to sell into the DoD, Subin wrote.

“That’s leaving defense tech firms divided over whether to hike capacity to win deals and risk profitability, or hold off and potentially miss opportunities,” she said.

In Europe, where startups are typically more capital constrained than their U.S. counterparts and therefore have fewer resources to play with, decisions will have to be made over whether to double down on the opportunity in the Middle East.

That risks pulling resources from markets in Europe and the U.S. to meet potential demand in the Gulf. Time will tell whether that turns out to be the right bet.

Spring in Full Bloom: Top 10 Japan Destinations to Visit in April 2026

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 18:05:06 +0000

Spring in Full Bloom: Top 10 Japan Destinations to Visit in April 2026
April is arguably the most magical month to visit Japan. As the chill of winter fades, the country transforms into a sea of pink and white. While the 2026 cherry blossom season started slightly early in southern hubs like Tokyo and Kyoto, April remains the peak time to catch breathtaking blooms and unique spring festivals as the "Sakura Front" moves north.
If you are planning to book flight tickets for a spring getaway, here are the top 10 destinations to add to your itinerary this April.

1. Osaka: The Soul of Kansai
While Tokyo’s peak has passed, Osaka is currently in full swing. April is the perfect time to visit Osaka Castle Park, where over 3,000 cherry trees create a stunning backdrop for the historic fortress.
* Don't Miss: The Nemophila Festival at Osaka Maishima Seaside Park (starting mid-April), where 1 million blue flowers meet the sea.
2. Nara: Deer and Ancient Petals
A short trip from Osaka, Nara Park offers a unique scene where friendly wild deer roam under falling cherry blossoms. Visit the Yoshino region in early April—it’s famous for having over 30,000 cherry trees covering the mountainsides, offering a "carpet" of pink that is world-renowned.
3. Kanazawa: The Samurai Spring
Known for its beautifully preserved Edo-period districts, Kanazawa is hitting its peak viewing window right now (early April). The Kenrokuen Garden, considered one of Japan’s three most beautiful landscape gardens, offers free admission during the peak cherry blossom week.
4. Fuji Five Lakes (Yamanashi)
For the most iconic "Japan" photo, head to Lake Kawaguchi. In mid-April, the cherry blossoms bloom with Mount Fuji towering in the background.
* Top Event: The Fuji Shibazakura Festival begins in late April, featuring a vibrant "pink moss" that covers the ground at the base of the mountain.
5. Takayama: The Spring Festival
Mark your calendars for April 14–15 for the Sanno Festival. This is one of Japan's most beautiful festivals, featuring massive, ornate 17th-century floats parading through the historic streets of Takayama. It’s a rare chance to see traditional Japanese craftsmanship and performance art in person.
6. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route (Toyama)
Looking for something other than flowers? The famous "Snow Wall" (Yuki-no-Otani) opens in mid-April. You can walk between walls of snow that reach up to 20 meters high. It’s a dramatic contrast to the spring blossoms found elsewhere in the country.
7. Hitachi Seaside Park (Ibaraki)
By mid-to-late April, the focus shifts from trees to the ground. This park becomes a "Blue World" as millions of Nemophila (Baby Blue Eyes) flowers bloom across the Miharashi Hill, creating a surreal landscape that blends into the Pacific Ocean and the sky.
8. Hirosaki (Aomori)
If you missed the blossoms in the south, head north to Hirosaki Park. Their cherry blossom festival starts around April 17, 2026. It is famous for the "Sakura Carpet"—where the outer moat of the castle becomes completely covered in pink petals.
9. Ashikaga Flower Park (Tochigi)
Starting in mid-April, this park hosts the Great Wisteria Festival. You can walk under massive tunnels of purple, white, and pink wisteria. The 150-year-old "Great Wisteria Tree" is illuminated at night, creating an ethereal, fairytale atmosphere.
10. Sapporo (Hokkaido)
For the ultimate "late bloomers," Hokkaido is the place to be. While the rest of Japan is entering early summer, Sapporo expects its first blossoms around April 25. It’s a great way to enjoy a cheap flight ticket to a less crowded region while still catching the tail end of the sakura season.
Travel Tip for April 2026:
Avoid Golden Week! One of Japan’s biggest holiday periods begins on April 29. Trains and hotels will be packed and prices for airfare will skyrocket. If you want a peaceful trip, try to complete your travels before the final week of the month.

AI startup Oumi, from Microsoft and Google vets, launches commercial platform for custom AI models

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:01:00 +0000

A Seattle startup founded by former Google and Microsoft engineers is betting that companies will increasingly want to build and own smaller, specialized AI models rather than relying on general-purpose alternatives from the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Oumi, which launched its open-source platform last year, moved into its commercial phase Tuesday with technology that it says can automate the process of building custom AI models in hours rather than the weeks or months it would take with traditional approaches.

The company says users can describe what they want a model to do in plain language, and the platform handles everything from generating training data to fine-tuning and evaluation.

“One of the last things still standing that has not been automated with AI is the building of AI itself,” said Oumi CEO Manos Koukoumidis, demonstrating the platform on a call this week.

The case for custom models: The argument comes down to cost, performance, and control. General-purpose models from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are designed to handle a wide range of tasks but can fall short on specialized work.

Smaller models trained on specific tasks can be cheaper to run, faster to respond, and deployed on a company’s own infrastructure, keeping sensitive data in-house.

Company background: As first reported by GeekWire last year, Oumi was launched by Koukoumidis, a former senior engineering manager at Google Cloud, and Oussama Elachqar, a machine learning engineer who previously worked at Apple, Twitter, and Microsoft.

Other co-founders are Matthew Persons and Jeremiah Greer, both former Google AI and Microsoft engineers; William Zeng, who worked on AI safety at Google; and Kostas Aisopos, a former Google staff engineer who also previously worked at Microsoft.

The company raised $10 million last year in a seed round led by Venrock and Obvious Ventures, with participation from Plug & Play and Seattle-based Ascend.

The company has since grown to about 20 employees, based primarily in Seattle.

Broader landscape: It’s part of a growing market for tools that help companies build and deploy custom AI models. Predibase, a model fine-tuning platform, was acquired by Rubrik last year for more than $100 million. Fireworks AI offers inference and fine-tuning for open-source models.

Open-source projects like Unsloth and Axolotl provide alternatives geared for developers.

Major cloud providers including Amazon and Google offer similar capabilities through technologies such as AWS SageMaker and Google’s AI Studio, although they often require more setup and tend to tie customers to those specific cloud ecosystems.

Part of Oumi’s pitch is that its natural-language interface and end-to-end automation make the process accessible to many other users beyond dedicated AI engineers.

The company launched as an open-source project in early 2025, and its toolkit has since drawn nearly 9,000 GitHub stars and adoption at research institutions including Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley.

Commercial expansion: The new launch builds on that open-source foundation.

Oumi says smaller, custom-trained models can outperform the largest general-purpose models on specific tasks, at a fraction of the cost. It points to early case studies to show the potential.

Divisions Maintenance Group, a facility services company, used the platform to fine-tune a model with fewer than 1 billion parameters for invoice validation. Accuracy jumped from 72% to 99%, matching the performance of OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 on the task.
Aurasell, an AI-powered CRM platform, built an 8 billion parameter model for extracting information from web pages that outperformed Anthropic’s Sonnet 4.5 on key metrics.

The Oumi Platform starts at $25 per month per organization with unlimited users, plus pay-per-use fees for training, evaluation, and data synthesis.

Why Smarter Search Beats Early Booking

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:33:00 +0000

Why Smarter Search Beats Early Booking
In the world of modern travel, the old advice of "book exactly three months in advance" is becoming a myth. With fluctuating fuel prices, shifting airline routes, and the rise of "ghost flights," finding a deal today isn't about when you book—it’s about how you search.
The Problem with the "Big" Search Engines
Most of us have a go-to search engine. However, many of the giant aggregators have become cluttered with "sponsored" results or hidden fees that only appear at the final checkout screen. When you’re trying to plan a multi-city tour or a quick weekend getaway, that lack of transparency can cost you hundreds of dollars.
Enter the "Search Aggregator" Strategy
This is where platforms like TheBookingBay.com are changing the game. Instead of relying on a single database, modern flight search aggregators pull live data from hundreds of airlines simultaneously.
The goal isn't just to show you a flight; it’s to provide a comprehensive bay of options where you can compare the "hidden" metrics:
* Real-time price comparisons across budget and premium carriers.
* Route optimization that suggests connections you might have missed.
* User-centric design that removes the friction of complex booking funnels.
3 Tips for Scoring Cheaper Tickets in 2026
1. Use the "Incognito" Myth Wisely
While many debate if cookies actually raise prices, the real trick is using a clean, fast aggregator. Platforms like TheBookingBay focus on low-latency results, meaning you see the price exactly as it is on the airline's terminal before the "demand spikes" kick in.
2. Look for the "Airport Transfer" Advantage
Sometimes the cheapest flight lands at a secondary airport. Before you click "buy," ensure your booking platform provides clear information on airport transfers. Saving $50 on a flight is only a win if you aren’t spending $60 on a taxi to the city center.
3. Focus on "Ease of Type"
In the mobile-first era, the best booking experience is the one that works on your phone while you're on the go. Look for sites that prioritize a clean interface over heavy advertisements.
Why TheBookingBay?
Whether you are heading to the Philippines, the USA, or anywhere in between, TheBookingBay.com was designed with one mission: to make flight search as simple as a single click. By aggregating the best deals in one easy-to-navigate space, it removes the "booking fatigue" that stops so many people from taking that dream trip.
The world is getting smaller—don’t let a complicated booking process keep you grounded.

Stop Overpaying for Airfare: The Ultimate Guide to Finding Hidden Flight Deals in 2026

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 01:04:00 +0000

We all know the feeling. You find the perfect destination, get your PTO approved, and then you check flight prices—only to feel your stomach drop. Airfare often eats up the largest chunk of a travel budget, but it absolutely doesn't have to.
While the travel industry relies on dynamic pricing models designed to maximize airline profits, savvy travelers can use a few strategic methods to bypass the premium markups. If you are tired of spending more time hunting for flights than actually enjoying your vacation, here is the modern playbook for scoring hidden flight deals.
1. Ditch the "Tuesday" Myth and Embrace Price Volatility
For years, the golden rule of travel was "always book on a Tuesday." In 2026, this advice is obsolete. Airline algorithms change prices constantly based on real-time demand, route popularity, and competitor pricing—sometimes fluctuating multiple times within a single hour.
Instead of waiting for a specific day of the

week, the actual secret is flexibility. Shifting your departure or return date by just 24 to 48 hours can slash the ticket price significantly. If you are flying into a major hub, always check the prices for smaller, alternative airports nearby.
2. Let Advanced Aggregators Do the Heavy Lifting
Most travelers make the mistake of checking one or two familiar airline websites and settling for the lowest price they see. You are leaving money on the table by doing this. The modern travel hack is utilizing a comprehensive flight search aggregator that scans hundreds of airlines and booking agents simultaneously.
Platforms like The Booking Bay are designed to cut through the noise. By acting as a specialized flight search engine, it aggregates the global inventory of flights to instantly compare routes, layovers, and pricing structures. Instead of opening twenty different browser tabs, you let the algorithm fetch the absolute lowest available fare in seconds, giving you transparent pricing before you commit.
3. The "Hacker Fare" Strategy (Mix and Match)
Airlines want you to book round-trip tickets with them because it guarantees them your revenue for both legs of the journey. However, there is no law stating your departure and return flights have to be with the same carrier.
Often, you can save a substantial amount by booking two separate one-way tickets on different airlines. For example, you might fly out on a major legacy carrier but return on a budget airline. While this used to be a tedious manual process, modern aggregators now automatically string together these "hacker fares" to build the cheapest possible itinerary.
4. Search in Local Currencies
If you are booking a domestic flight within a foreign country or a regional hopper (like flying from the Philippines to another Southeast Asian hub), pay attention to the currency.
Sometimes, purchasing the ticket in the local currency of your departure country is cheaper than buying it in USD or EUR. Always check the conversion rate on your credit card (and ensure you have a card with no foreign transaction fees) to see if you can skim a little extra off the top of the ticket price.
5. Book the "Sweet Spot" Window
Booking too early can be just as expensive as booking too late. Airlines typically release their standard-priced seats around the "sweet spot" window.
For Domestic Flights: Start tracking prices 1 to 3 months before departure.
For International Flights: Begin your search 2 to 8 months in advance.
The Bottom Line
Finding cheap flights doesn't require insider industry connections; it just requires the right tools and a bit of strategy. By staying flexible and utilizing powerful search aggregators to compare the entire market, you can stop overpaying for airfare and start putting that money toward the actual adventure.

MSI GTX 1660 Ti GAMING and ARMOR

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 11:01:00 +0000

Prior today we uncovered MSI VENTUS XS including Turing TU116 GPU. This model highlights a comparative PCB to GAMING and ARMOR arrangement.

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING Z will be MSI's best model for this specific SKU. It will highlight the most astounding clock speed of all MSI 1660 Ti models. In any case, we have not yet affirmed how quick precisely it will be. MSI's GAMING arrangement have dropped dark and red plan in some help of dim shading plan matched with RGB lights.

The ARMOR arrangement, then again, will come up short on this RGB in abundance. The cooler itself is likewise not as effective as GAMING's, yet these cards will in general utilize precisely the same PCB as GAMING arrangement.

Structure savvy these cards are basically equivalent to RTX 2060 arrangement with an exemption of GEFORCE RTX logo being supplanted by GEFORCE GTX.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with 3GB

noreply@blogger.com (ASAD) — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 10:45:00 +0000

It might create the impression that GeForce GTX 1660 Ti will sooner or later be accessible in 3GB variations. As per the hole from EEC, ASUS is arranging many models including 6GB and 3GB memory setups. The 6GB variation might be selective to ROG STRIX arrangement however, as there is no such item with 3GB memory recorded.

Image credit: Nvidia

ASUS will dispatch DUAL, Expedition, Phoenix, TUF (the new arrangement), Turbo and ROG STRIX arrangement of GeForce GTX 1660 Ti illustrations. Models are as constantly isolated into Advanced, OC and non-OC variations (which fundamentally include diverse clock speeds).

The GTX 1660 Ti designs cards will be declared on February 22nd. We expect an extensive rundown of custom models to be accessible at dispatch as GTX 1660 Ti fundamentally replaces GTX 1060, the most mainstream SKU in NVIDIA offer.

This appears somewhat bizarre as Ti-cards regularly tune the best execution you can escape a GPU. Dividing the video memory of what we've heard to be in a conventional 6GB GTX 1660 Ti – and these new Asus models are recorded in 6GB VRAM limits too – so far appears to be contradictory to Nvidia's methodology up until this point.
