Mint explains.Nvidia launched a new generation of its Vera Rubin chips, and an all-new Nvidia Groq 3 chip—designed after it signed a $20-billion partnership deal with the founder of Google’s custom chip.These focus on power efficiency, thereby significantly reducing the cost of AI. Huang referred to ‘inferencing’ or the cost of running AI, which he said will fall drastically when these new chips hit data centres in three years.The new chips, for the first time, took the spotlight away from building AI and onto running it, suggesting that Nvidia sees AI at a stage of mass adoption.Training AI is becoming templatized, while running AI will bring the bulk of the demand for specialized chips.

markets COST pandemic rights Updates Mint Explainer: Why a rare exit penalty adds weight to upGrad’s Unacademy bid

The disclosure is significant as the proposed deal is a 100% share swap, meaning Unacademy’s investors may receive upGrad stock instead of immediate liquidity, with the valuation to be made public only at closing.Mint has learnt from people familiar with the matter that the break-fee clause will apply to both sides, though Mint could not independently verify the exact triggers in the term sheet.Mint explains what Screwvala’s public reference means for the proposed upGrad-Unacademy deal.Unacademy, founded in 2015, surged during the covid-19 pandemic to a $3.5 billion valuation in 2021, raising about $880 million from marquee investors to date. But the post-edtech-boom funding slump and Byju’s crisis hit the sector, weakening its position in talks with upGrad, which valued it at $300-400 million.

Ellison, who merged his Skydance studio with Paramount seven months ago and is in the process of acquiring Warner Bros Discovery, has a payroll that includes several names lodged in the collective memory of observers for the wrong reasons.First, there’s Jeff Shell, president of Paramount Skydance, who was fired as CEO of NBC Universal in 2023 following an allegation of sexual harassment. Then there’s John Lasseter, Paramount’s head of animation, who left Walt Disney in 2018 after allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

UPS Manufacturing President country rock Updates Mint Explainer | Why India remains dependent on fertilizer imports

Mint explains.India is the world’s second-largest fertilizer consumer, but domestic supply hasn’t kept pace.The country imports about 60% of its diammonium phosphate (DAP) requirement and roughly 15% of its urea and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK)-based fertilizer demand, along with intermediates such as rock phosphate, phosphoric acid and potash.Even urea relies on natural gas as feedstock, much of which is imported. This leaves domestic production exposed to global energy markets.“Domestic availability is limited for raw materials and intermediaries such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), phosphate rock and ammonia,” said Anand Kulkarni, director at Crisil Ratings.Analysts say this dependence is unlikely to ease without a shift in technology.
