A reported deal worth more than $3bn fell apart over a US-government security framework Oracle was unwilling to add, according to Business Insider. Oracle calls the account inaccurate. The story of the AI build-out is usually one of companies signing for more capacity than anyone thought possible. This is the rarer version: a deal that […]

The exemption is narrower than the announcement makes it sound. On Tuesday the US Federal Communications Commission said it would again allow new models of Chinese toy drones to be imported, six months after it barred new foreign-made drones outright. The relief is real, but it has been defined so tightly that the word ‘toy’ […]

The figure that reframes the problem is a share, not a sum. In more than half the countries Interpol surveyed for its latest Asia and South Pacific cyber-threat assessment, cybercrime now accounts for around 30% of all crime recorded nationally. That is the line that turns scams and phishing from a category of nuisance into […]

The decision had, in effect, already been made. According to people familiar with the matter, reports Reuters, a US interagency committee approved adding the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, the memory-chip maker CXMT and more than 100 other companies flagged as national-security risks to the Commerce Department’s Entity List last year. What has not happened, and […]

The conversation happened where these conversations usually happen, on the sidelines of a dinner. At the opening of the G7 summit in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains on Monday, representatives of several member countries raised with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick the idea of a ‘trusted partners’ scheme that would let allied nations, or […]

OpenAI burned through $3.7bn in the first three months of 2026, more than half its revenue of $5.7bn over the same period, according to The Information, which cited documents the company shared with shareholders. Both numbers tripled from a year earlier, a symmetry that captures the company’s peculiar position: growing faster than almost any business […]

The number that anchors the case is a single day. On 29 January, Microsoft shares fell about 10%, the company’s steepest one-day drop in nearly six years, wiping out roughly $357bn in market value after a quarterly earnings report the previous evening. A securities class action filed on 12 June in Seattle federal court argues […]

The company has gone to the Delhi High Court over a block tied to alleged cheating on a national medical-entrance exam, a measure affecting more than 150 million users. Telegram has asked the Delhi High Court to overturn an Indian government order that has temporarily blocked the messaging app, the company’s most direct legal confrontation […]

Intel said on Tuesday that the next iteration of its 18A manufacturing process, designated 18A-P, has entered risk production, the stage at which a chipmaker runs the process on real hardware to prove it works before committing to mass volumes. The announcement is less about a single chip than about a promise Intel has spent […]

The Melbourne healthtech’s oversubscribed Series A, led by Airtree, funds a move into the UK and a pitch to coordinate a patient’s health data over a lifetime rather than a single appointment. Most healthcare systems are built to wait. They are organised around the moment something goes wrong, the appointment booked because a symptom appeared, […]
