Varda Space just raised a whopping $187 million to take drug-making to the next level—literally. The company’s planning to produce key pharma ingredients in space, where zero gravity helps with things like crystallizing proteins. A new 10,000 sq. ft. lab in California will be planning which biologics should be sent to orbit. Varda’s already completed 3 space missions and aims for 4 more this year. They’re also building spacecraft in-house now and testing hypersonic tech for the U.S. military. The big goal? Solve tricky pharma problems and license out high-value patents.
Google has now officially launched its advanced AI video generation tool Veo 3in India. It was first teased at Google I/O 2025 a few weeks ago, and is now available in countries around the world where Gemini App works — meaning creators in India can now take advantage of it too.
What Is Veo 3 and Why Is It Special?
Veo 3 is a generative AI model that can create videos up to 8-seconds long using just text prompts. These videos are not just limited to visuals, but also include:
Background Music
Sound Effects
Synthetic dialogues (AI-generated speech)
And features like camera control
Now creators can create high-quality short videos in just minutes by writing some simple text – that too without any editing skills.
How to Get Access in India?
Veo 3 can be accessed in India through a Google AI Pro subscription. Through the Gemini App, users will be able to use this tool and generate a limited number of videos every month.
Google says that it will soon be included in more countries and plans.
Veo 3 is designed for creatives who want to bring their ideas and stories to life through video — whether they’re YouTube creators or indie filmmakers. Along with this, Google has also introduced a new AI feature called ‘Flow’, which combines tools like Veo 3 and Imagen to make the entire video creation process faster, smarter and easier.
Users in Flow:
Create your own characters and scenes
Create visual elements with the text to image feature
And the same elements can be used again and again in different shots
Google’s Preparation for Security and Trust
Google has clarified that all AI-generated videos will have a Visible Watermark , as well as a SynthID digital watermark — to prove that the video is created by AI.
Apart from this, Google is continuously doing red teaming, testing and policy monitoring to prevent wrong or harmful content.
Where can I learn From?
Google has also added a special feature called Flow TV, where users can watch AI videos created from around the world — and learn what prompts and techniques were used to create those videos.
Last Thing
The entry of Veo 3 is a big opportunity for a creative country like India. Now any creator, YouTuber, social media manager or filmmaker will not need a huge team or budget to make a video. Just type the text… and you will get an impactful video in a few minutes. Google Veo 3 has now been launched in India – and it is going to completely change the world of AI filmmaking in the coming time.
If you think that age is just a number, especially in the world of technology, then the story of Pranjali Awasthi will prove this to you. She is a coder (programmer) born in India and now living in America, who has done wonders at a very young age.
Big achievement at a young age
Pranjali began exploring the world of coding when she was only seven years old. Imagine, when we kids are busy playing sports, Pranjali was writing code! By the age of 13, she had also done internships in big research labs. And the amazing thing is that when she was just 16 years old, she started her own AI (Artificial Intelligence) company, named – Delv.AI.
Delv.AI: The journey to make research easier
In January 2022, Pranjali founded Delv.AI in Miami. Her simple target was that research should not be difficult for anyone. Delv.AI is actually an AI-based tool that helps researchers extract and summarize information from educational material, PDFs and many other places. Its specialty is that it can search in multiple documents simultaneously, connects to your cloud drive and can also save information in CSV format.
Delv.AI grabbed people’s attention at an amazing speed. It raised around $450,000 (roughly Rs. 3.89 crores) from investors like Backend Capital and Village Global. By October 2023, its valuation touched almost Rs. 100 crores! Researchers loved it because it did hours of their work in minutes, saving up to 75% of repetitive R&D work.
Pranjali was born in India. When she was 11 years old, her family moved to Florida, USA. There her father, who is himself a computer engineer, further encouraged her love for coding. In school, she took a keen interest in computer science and competitive maths and soon started doing an internship at the Neural Dynamics of Control Lab at Florida International University. There she worked on machine learning projects from a young age and also helped differentiate types of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) using EEG data.
Now giving a new look to AI with Dash
Now Pranjali is 18 and studying computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the US. But she’s not going to stop here. She’s already started working on her next big thing: Dash . She calls it “ChatGPT with hands.”
In San Francisco, Pranjali is working full-time on Dash with her co-founders Dhruv Rungta and Harsha, both young developers she met at Georgia Tech. Dhruv has previously built an edtech startup, while Harsha built a dating app.
Unlike Delv.AI, Dash is an open-access AI assistant that not only chats but can actually take action – not just conversations, but automation! Recently, Dash (usedash.ai) received a tremendous response on Product Hunt and reached number one. On this occasion, Pranjali announced the launch of her official Discord server through LinkedIn and expressed her happiness over this new beginning.
Dash selected in Y Combinator
Pranjali shared in her LinkedIn post that Dash (YC S25) has been included in the world’s top startup accelerator Y Combinator. This is considered a very big achievement for any startup. The aim of Dash’s team is to create such an intelligent AI that can truly understand the user’s work style and make the work easier accordingly.
Whether it’s automatically sorting your email, scheduling meetings, or creating reports, Dash is making work easier – eliminating all the menial tasks that “knowledge workers” struggle with.
Why wait to make an impact?
Pranjali’s journey didn’t just start with Delv.AI. She has interned at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience and run workshops at hackathons. She also completed the Creative Destruction Lab’s apprentice program, where she gained in-depth knowledge about AI, agriculture, and more.
Her story is proof that you don’t have to wait to make an impact. As she says herself, Delv.AI was created to “get you relevant information instantly without going behind the paywall” – and now, with Dash, she aims to make AI even more useful. Young talents like Pranjali Avasthi are showing that with passion and the right opportunity, anyone can achieve great success, regardless of age!
Quantum Computing, which was once limited to research labs, has now entered real life as well. It has made its presence felt in sectors like healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, energy and logistics and in the coming time, it can change the face of entire industries. Let us know what quantum computing is and how it is becoming a game-changer for the entire world including India.
What is Quantum Computing?
In simple words, while normal computers work only on 0 and 1 (bits), quantum computers use “qubits”. These qubits can be in many states simultaneously (called superposition) and can also be connected to each other (called entanglement). This is the reason why quantum computers can perform certain tasks very quickly and accurately, which is beyond the capability of classical computers.
Where is Quantum Computing being used?
1. Healthcare and Drug Discovery
The most important use of quantum computing in the healthcare sector is in discovering new medicines and understanding small molecules. Our old computers fail to understand the process of large and complex molecules because many things have to be understood simultaneously. But with the help of quantum computers, these particles can be understood in their smallest form (at the atomic level) in a simple way.
Latest update: In 2024, Google Quantum AI scientists used quantum simulations to understand the workings of the enzymes (Cytochrome P450) that make medicines effective in our bodies. This will make it easier to develop personalized medicines.
2. Cybersecurity and cryptography
While quantum computers can break old encryption systems, they can also create ultra-secure systems like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
Latest update: In June 2025, DRDO and IIT Delhi successfully showcased quantum-secure communication across a 1 km distance. This can make quantum encryption a standard for data security in the future.
3. Optimization in logistics and supply chain
Quantum computers can solve tough problems like traffic, delivery, and warehouse management in minutes. Volkswagen and DHL have implemented quantum algorithms to improve route optimization. In the future, just 5-10% optimization can save crores of rupees in industries.
4. Financial Modelling and Risk Management
Understanding the mood of the financial market, making investment plans, and predicting risks can become easier with quantum computing.
Latest update: In 2024, JPMorgan Chase worked with Quantum startups to work on trading strategies and credit risk. This will make future investments more precise and less risky, as well as make it easier to track market fraud.
5. Energy and Materials Science
Quantum computing is proving to be a boon for batteries, superconductors, and clean energy technologies.
Latest update: In 2025 , scientists at QuEra Computing used quantum computers to understand battery design issues that could lead to batteries that are more energy efficient.
Top Quantum Updates of 2025
Google’s Willow Chip: In December 2024, Google launched a chip that controls error correction to a great extent.
Advantages in quantum simulation: A March 2025 study showed that low-energy states of quantum systems can be found efficiently. Whereas this task is extremely difficult and time-consuming for classical computers. This will directly benefit industries like pharma and material science, where such simulations are very important for making medicines and new materials.
Companies like SandboxAQ have introduced real-time quantum navigation systems like ‘AQNav,’ which solve problems like GPS jamming by using AI and quantum sensors.
But there are challenges too…
Quantum computers are currently very sensitive and need to be kept cool at zero degrees to operate.
There is a huge shortage of specialists. There are only less than 1000 quantum PhD holders in the whole world.
Scalability and efficiency will take more time.
Final Note: The Quantum Future Is Not Far Away!
Quantum computing is no longer just a fantasy but is showing its impact in the real world. From healthcare to finance and energy to logistics, this technology is going to change the game in every field. However, this journey is not over yet. Business and government will have to prepare for the Quantum Era. They will have to invest in research, create quantum-ready systems, and prepare people who can work in this field.
Tesla has started driving its driverless Model Y Robotaxi in Austin. This is not just a headline but a big and real-world experiment for Tesla Autopilot and AI-powered transportation. Tesla says that its self-driving cars can drive on their own using only cameras and AI. Whereas other autonomous cars use expensive technology like Lidar and Radar along with cameras. Tesla wants to prove FSD (Full Self-Driving) that its AI can learn to drive safely on difficult city roads even without these expensive technologies. This is not just a show-off, but a big test of autonomous vehicle technology, which many in the industry still consider risky.
1. Testing on Real Roads, Not Just in Simulators
Other companies test their vehicles in closed testing areas or computer simulations. But Tesla is running its Robotaxi services directly on the real roads of Austin. Yes, there is a “safety monitor” installed in the vehicle, and people can control it remotely. These real roads are their biggest test for AI car testing.
2. Only Camera Work, No Lidar or Radar
Tesla has relied entirely on cameras and neural network-based AI for its self-driving system. They deliberately did not use technology like lidar or radar. This makes their Tesla technology cheaper and easier to spread on a large scale. But yes, it may also cause some problems in glare (bright sunlight), fog, or rain, which are part of the autonomous driving challenges.
Right now Tesla has started with only about 10 vehicles. They are moving fast but are also being cautious. They have worked closely with local officials and have also given emergency response training to emergency teams. Still, some officials want it to be stopped until new and stricter autonomous vehicle rules are in place in Austin.
4. Being Reliable Even in Difficult Situations
Previous reports have shown that Tesla’s FSD (full self-driving) system sometimes gets stuck in difficult situations, such as running a red light, being in the wrong lane, or when an object comes into view. Now, every small glitch in Austin will give them an opportunity to learn from real-world data—or it could raise red flags for driverless car safety.
5. Lots of Data Is Being Received From Every Ride
Tesla has more than 2 million vehicles on the road, and they are constantly providing new driving data for training their AI system. Launching in Austin will give them more different types of data, such as experiences from quiet neighborhoods to crowded roads. This will enable their AI to learn even faster (AI Learning Process).
6. What Does This Mean Beyond Austin?
This pilot project is Tesla’s first step towards becoming a “Mobility-as-a-Service” provider. If it succeeds and, say, 1,000 vehicles start running, it will open up future revenue models and new avenues of earning for the company. But its success will depend on how good their AI car technology is and how much regulatory approval they get from the government.
Conclusion
It’s a major real-world test of Tesla’s bold self-driving tech. It’s a high-stakes experiment of sorts—one that will either prove Elon Musk’s camera-only autonomy approach right or expose flaws that still need to be fixed. The results will determine not just Tesla’s future but also how cities, governments, and the rest of the auto industry will view driverless cars in the years to come.
Wake up one morning and find out your Google or Apple account has been hacked? Scared, right? It’s not just a possibility—it’s something that could affect people all over the world. Recently, cybersecurity researchers uncovered one of the biggest data leaks in history: more than 16 billion login credentials have been exposed. It’s not just old passwords recycled. This is new, dangerous data that could lead to identity theft, bank account hacking, or worse.
What happened after all?
At the start of 2025, researchers uncovered 30 massive datasets—some holding over 3.5 billion individual records. These records include usernames, passwords, email addresses, and even sensitive data like cookies and login tokens. What’s scary is that many of these leaks have come from popular services like Google, Apple, Facebook, and even government platforms.
These leaks are believed to be caused by “InfoStealer” malware—bad software that silently steals data from your device. Once compromised, this data usually ends up on the dark web, where it’s sold for shockingly low prices. This means criminals around the world can get their hands on your login information and start messing with your digital life.
Why should you care?
Think of your online accounts as the ‘keys’ to your digital life. If someone has your password, they can break in. They might:
Can steal money from your linked bank accounts
can create your identity online
Your email can be used for phishing attacks
Can lock you out of your own accounts
And it’s not just personal risks. Businesses and schools can also be targets, causing major financial and privacy losses.
How to stay safe?
Stay Updated: Use sites like HaveIBeenPwned.com to check if your email or password has been exposed. It’s free and takes a few seconds.
Change Your Passwords: Start with your main accounts—email, social media, and banking. Create strong, one-of-a-kind passwords that aren’t easy to crack or predict.
Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone has your password, they won’t be able to get in without your phone or biometric ID.
Switch to passkeys: Tech companies like Apple and Google have started rolling out passkeys as a secure login option. These use your fingerprint or Face ID instead of a password. They’re much more difficult to hack.
Use a password manager: These apps help you create and store complex passwords securely. No more using “123456” or your pet’s name for every login.
Final Thoughts
This is a wake-up call. Cybercrime is on the rise, and we all need to take responsibility for our digital security. It’s simple, but it can save you a lot of trouble. Don’t wait to get hacked—take action now and keep your online world safe.
Until a few years ago, to build a billion-dollar company, a big team and lots of money and time were needed. But now AI has changed the game. Now a single person, with the help of the right idea and some tools, can take his own company to millions. Such founders are now being called solo unicorns. A company created by a single person, whose value can reach $1 billion one day. Do you think this is a dream? But now it has become a reality.
Here is Maor Shlomo, a 31-year-old developer who built a company called Base44 in just 6 months without any funding and then sold it to Wix for $80 million (cash).
BASE44
Base44: From a side project to a multi-million deal
Base44 started as a side project. But gradually it became one of the most famous stories in the world of “Vibe Coding.”Vibe coding means creating apps without learning coding, just by speaking in normal language. Neither code nor team is needed. Only ideas and AI tools .
Base44 was a platform where any human, technical or non-tech, could create their own complete app by just giving a text prompt. Everything you need—backend, database, authentication, analytics, maps, email, and even SMS—is available. And all this happens with the power of AI Agents and Large Language Models (LLMs).
In 6 months, Base44 had 2.5 lakh users, and in the month of May alone, it earned $189,000—that too without any investment. Maor posted his complete journey publicly on LinkedIn and X.
AI has changed the game: Now everyone can become a founder
Base44 didn’t rely on a large team or VC funding. It was bootstrapped and lean—just eight employees, all of whom will now receive a $25 million retention bonus as part of the deal. But the engine that drove it? AI! It was found. But the real driver was AI.
AI is doing the work of dozens of engineers—writing code, managing infrastructure, and optimizing performance—so the modern founder can focus on vision and velocity instead of scaling teams or burning money.
Maor says that he has achieved a lot without funding (VC funding), but now with the partnership with Wix, he is ready to grow even faster.

Why did Wix buy Base44?
Wix, a popular no-code website builder worldwide, saw something big in Base44—a future where people could build apps by speaking. Wix is growing its AI capabilities to enable complete app development.
Wix CEO Avishai Abrahami called this acquisition a major step in the company’s charge to resuscitate the way people produce online.
From Side Projects to Solo Unicorns
Base44 hasn’t become a billion-dollar company yet, and Maor wasn’t completely alone, but this story proves that today, thanks to AI, the gap from idea to execution has become much smaller.
Now, if someone has a vision and the right tools, he can create something big even alone.
So, why can’t the next solo unicorn be completely alone? Maybe not yet… But we’re pretty close now.
We’re not there yet—but we’re getting closer. AI is making it radically easier to launch, scale, and sell products without large teams or funding. The infrastructure is maturing. The tools are getting smarter. And founders? They’re no longer just builders—they’re visionaries and storytellers.
Conclusion
Welcome to the era of the solo unicorn. And who knows? You might be the one creating the next one from your bedroom!

In the fast-changing world of software development, a new term is in the news these days: Vibe coding. But what is it? Vibe Coding is a new method of software development in which a human just explains the problem in normal language, and an AI tool like LLM (Large Language Model) understands those details and generates the complete code. In this, the developer does not have to do manual coding; rather, he just guides the AI, tests it, and refines the code when needed. It was made popular by Andrej Karpathy of OpenAI in 2025.
Here Is a List of the Top 6 Vibe Coding Tools:
1.Lovable
Lovable lets you turn your ideas into working UI and backend logic using only natural language. It’s perfect for creators who want quick results without touching any code.

Expressing Yourself Through Code
At its core, Vibe Coding is very personal. You’re not just solving problems—you’re expressing yourself. Your code reflects your vibe—your feelings, your style, and even the music playing in the background.
Learn the rules, then break them
Vibe Coding is a new and easy way to create software, where you just have to say your thing in simple language for coding, and AI, i.e., LLM tools, automatically create the code. This method is very beneficial for beginners, as it requires less technical language. Of course, Vibe Coding still requires solid fundamentals. You can’t improvise if you don’t know the basics. But once you have the skills, it’s all about trusting your intuition and having fun with the process.
Meta’s AI might be smarter—but is it safer? With Meta AI baked into Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, a growing number of users are unknowingly putting private info on display.
What’s Really Going On?
Meta AI includes a “Share” feature that can make your conversations visible on a public Discover feed.
People have shared legal issues, mental health struggles—even confessions—without realizing it. One teacher’s emotional story about losing their job? Completely public.
The Risk Is Real
If you’re logged into Meta platforms while chatting with its AI, those convos can be tied back to your profile. On WhatsApp, they’re not even end-to-end encrypted.
So no—it’s not just you and the bot. It’s you, the bot, and anyone else who stumbles across that chat.
But Isn’t It Opt-In?
Kind of. Meta claims that sharing chats requires users to follow a series of deliberate steps. But the interface is confusing, and there’s no strong warning before posting something public.
That’s not great design—it’s a privacy trap.
Even Meta’s own AI has acknowledged that users could accidentally disclose private or sensitive details.
What About Ads and Training?
Yes, Meta uses your chats to “improve the model”—which may include targeting ads and content. If you’ve been wondering why your feed feels creepily personal, this could be why.
AI’s cool—but privacy should come first. If you’re using Meta AI, be careful. And if trust matters more to you than convenience, it might be worth sitting this one out.
