According to a Financial Times story, OpenAI intends to introduce its first proprietary AI chip in 2026, working with Broadcom to create the CPU. Internally codenamed "Arrakis," the chip seeks to maximise performance for OpenAIs expanding AI workloads while lowering dependency on Nvidia. OpenAI will concentrate on architecture specific to their models, while Broadcom will offer design and packaging expertise. As AI companies look for more control over hardware supply chains, the move is indicative of a larger industry trend towards vertical integration. If Arrakis is effective, it might greatly reduce the cost of inference and increase the scalability of systems such as ChatGPT. Additionally, the program demonstrates OpenAIs desire to take on corporate behemoths like Google and Amazon, who already produce proprietary AI chips, more directly. Read More..

After its previous $1 billion programme concluded in 2024 with only $870 million disbursed, Uganda is currently negotiating a new Extended Credit Faci

After its previous $1 billion programme concluded in 2024 with only $870 million disbursed, Uganda is currently negotiating a new Extended Credit Facility with the IMF. The proposal would be brought to the IMF Board following Ugandas national elections in early 2026, according to Finance Secretary Ramathan Ggoobi, who acknowledged that negotiations are in progress. In order to manage its growing public debt, which increased 17.8% last year to $29.1 billion, or 52.1% of GDP, the nation is looking for new concessional funding. Due to difficulties with implementation and a lack of outside finance, the previous programme ended. In the face of growing economic constraints and restricted access to affordable finance, Uganda urgently needs international support and fiscal stability, which is reflected in its appeal for renewed IMF assistance.

The GST Council of India has authorised expedited export reimbursements for claims under ₹1,000, which will help small exporters who use postal and courier services.

Brazil is now Chinas thirdlargest international investment destination after Chinese investment in the country more than doubled to $8.5 billion in 2024.
