Indian Rupee Jumps 1.4% Following RBI Intervention: The Indian rupee saw a solid 1.4% jump after the Reserve Bank of India stepped in with measures to curb speculative trading in the currency market. The move seems to have given the rupee a short-term boost and brought some stability for now. That said, not everyone is convinced this will hold up for long. Some experts point out that relying too much on interventions like dipping into foreign exchange reserves could create pressure down the line. So while things look positive at the moment, there are still questions about how sustainable this support really is.

Why Arab counties are being bombed, when the war is between Iran and US Israel ? The Answer is Radars. The war has just begun. The US relies on stealth jets and radars. China has unveiled sixth-generation jets, soon to enter service. The US has two critical radars: FP-132 (fixed) and AN-TYP2 (movable). Only six FP-132 exist, one in the Arab, and 16 AN-TYP2 (12 in service, 4 in production). The Arab region had four. there many more critical and important radars across the Middle east. Iran destroyed the FP-132 on day one and all four AN-TYP2 within the first week. A fifth moved from South Korea was also destroyed in Jordan. The US cannot rebuild them because they require gallium nitride, which only China produces and has banned from export. FP-132- Qatar, costed $1.1 billion to build and was destroyed one first the first day of the war 28-feb. Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi, Kuwait, and Jordan all host US radar and other military hardware and that what those Iranian missiles are hunting

I made Claude Code and Codex talk to each other. No APIs. No special protocol. Just a terminal. smux lets agents create, read, and act on terminals. the terminal becomes a shared interface. this enables agent-to-agent communication. Now Claude Code and Codex can hold hands 🤝 Try it now ↓

US Hits Iran’s Ardaken Yellowcake Plant in Airstrike The US just struck a key nuclear site in Iran, the Ardaken yellowcake factory. The facility processes raw uranium into powder that’s used for enrichment. Officials say the hit could leave a radiological mark in the area. Note: So far, no word from the Pentagon or Iran on the damage or possible casualties.

Anthropic accidentally leaked details of "Mythos," a new AI model that sits above its flagship Opus lineup. The company left nearly 3,000 internal files publicly accessible due to a setup error in its content management system. A Big Leap in Capability Mythos delivers what Anthropic calls a "step change" over Opus 4.6, with major gains in: · Software coding · Academic reasoning · Cybersecurity, where the model's ability to attack systems "far exceeds any other AI model currently available" The model may have close to 10 trillion parameters, putting it in a scale class above any publicly available AI system today. Defenders Get First Access Anthropic is so concerned about Mythos's potential for automated hacking and finding security flaws that it plans to give early access to cybersecurity defense organizations first. Only after that will it be released to general developers or businesses. The concern is not just hypothetical. The leaked documents note that state-backed hackers have already used current Claude tools to break into about 30 organizations. How It Leaked: Researchers at the University of Cambridge found the exposed files. Anthropic blamed the incident on "human error" and added that "it wasn't Claude's fault." What This Means: Mythos is real, it is extremely powerful, and even its creators are cautious enough to give defenders a head start. A wide release is likely months away, and when it arrives, expect it to come with a high price tag.

The United States and Israel have carried out a joint military operation targeting the Arak heavy water nuclear facility (IR-40) in Iran, a key component of the country’s nuclear infrastructure, according to official sources. The strike specifically hit the IR-40 complex, which remains under construction, due to the facility’s incomplete status, there is no risk of a nuclear leak following the attack.

As the world is reeling under fuel shortages amid the West Asia crisis, driving up prices globally, the Modi government's decision to cut excise duty on fuel brings much-needed relief to citizens.  While many nations have hiked diesel and petrol prices, Modi govt’s decision to reduce excise duty underscores its people-centric governance and sensitivity-led decision-making. Kudos to PM Shri @narendramodi Ji for this decision.
