Accenture just reported $1.2 billion in generative AI revenue this quarter alone, a figure that underscores the demand for applied AI across…
AI is booming, but the foundation beneath its explosive growth is starting to shift. April 2025 has revealed a critical truth: while artificial intelligence is on pace to become a $1 trillion industry by 2030, the road ahead is anything but smooth. This isn’t just about innovation anymore. It’s about restructuring global power, rethinking supply chains, and wrestling with the real-world consequences of a tech revolution. A Booming Industry, A Bleeding Workforce Despite surging valuations and product launches, the tech sector is seeing significant internal volatility. Over 28,000 layoffs have hit U.S. tech firms this quarter alone—many involving roles in…
While much of the tech industry remains cautious, LTIMindtree is charging ahead — leveraging AI and strategic leadership to deliver strong quarterly results and chart a course for innovation-led growth.

What if the line between cheating and “strategic assistance” blurred completely? That’s the question @Cluely, a provocative AI startup based in San Francisco, is asking—and answering—with funding in hand and a fast-growing user base. Backed by a $5.3M seed round from Abstract Ventures and Susa Ventures, Cluely is stepping into controversial territory, and unapologetically so. What Does Cluely Actually Do? Cluely offers a real-time, undetectable AI assistant that operates through the browser. It’s designed for high-stakes situations like job interviews, sales pitches, online exams, and even negotiation calls. Think of it as a digital whisperer—quietly feeding users contextual suggestions, smart…
Airbnb’s engineering team just pulled off a migration feat that would normally take 1.5 years—and compressed it into six weeks. How is that possible? The answer lies in LLMs, prompt engineering, and automation. Why Move from Enzyme to React Testing Library (RTL)? Modernizing test frameworks is essential for long-term maintainability and developer productivity. Airbnb decided to retire the older Enzyme suite in favor of React Testing Library, which offers better alignment with how components actually behave in the browser. But migrating thousands of tests by hand? That’s a recipe for burnout. What Role Did AI Play? Airbnb engineers fed an…
Can AI make clinical documentation safer—before it becomes dangerous? That’s the mission Brellium is taking on, and investors are paying attention. What’s the problem they’re solving? In the fast-paced world of healthcare, documentation is everything—but also one of its biggest vulnerabilities. Inaccurate or outdated patient notes can lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, compliance violations, and staggering administrative waste. Brellium’s origin story began with something all too common: a medical misdiagnosis. Co-founder Zach Rosen experienced the problem firsthand, then teamed up with Henry Kasa, Max Katzman, and Alex Le-Tu in 2021 to build a solution. Their insight? Traditional spot checks of patient…
Is AI killing developer jobs? Not quite. It’s transforming them—and fast. From writing boilerplate code to debugging in real time, platforms like Cursor, Claude, Windsurf (formerly Codeium), and Replit are making the idea-to-code journey smoother, faster, and more intuitive than ever. What used to take hours now takes minutes. But does that mean developers are becoming obsolete? What’s really changing? According to Dario Amodei, up to 90% of code could be AI-generated in the next six months. But as Replit CEO Amjad Masad puts it: “We’re all going to have jobs—they’re just going to be very powerful.” That shift is…
Recent reports suggest that OpenAI is in advanced talks to acquire Windsurf, an AI coding assistant startup valued at $1.25B. If the deal goes through, this move would signal a significant shift for OpenAI. Could it be their clearest play to dominate the field of AI-assisted software development? Why is Windsurf the target? Windsurf, led by CEO Varun Mohan, has seen rapid growth and adoption among developers. But what makes Windsurf stand out in such a competitive market? The company has developed a set of tools that help developers code smarter, faster, and more efficiently. With developer workflows becoming increasingly…
