India Ratings has said. The agency is seeing continuing pressure on cash flows in certain end-borrower segments, on-field attrition, lower-than-expected recoveries leading to higher write-offs and overleveraging of borrowers in the unsecured business loan portfolio. “While the denominator effect was playing out over most of FY24, the need to recognise the rising delinquencies, provide for them and write-off the same has increased the credit cost pain since 4QFY24,” the agency said.

OpenAI is at the top with $14 bn, followed by Anthropic with $4.2 bn, and Databricks with $4 bn. As countries, the biggest investor in AI over the last 5 years is the US at $329 bn, with China at $133 bn, and Britain at $26 bn. What's alarming, however, is that power consumption for AI, estimated by Schneider Electric at 4.5 GW in 2023, is likely to go up to 14-18.7 GW by 2028. That's also attributable to a search on Google consuming 0.3 watt-hours (Wh), while a single ChatGPT query requires 2.9 Wh. Over a 1-year period, ChatGPT queries would roughly consume 10 TWh (terawatt hours), which can power all of New Zealand for 3 months. Another significant reason for the increase in AI power consumption is the new generation of GPUs (graphics processing units) being used. The CPU in a computer handles tasks for the software on the server to run, while a GPU helps perform repetitive tasks and concurrent calculations in parallel, very much faster.

Tesla is recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview camera image may not activate immediately after shifting into reverse, the fifth recall for the vehicle since it went on sale late last year. Tesla has released a free software upgrade to address the issue and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 25. Cybertruck owners have had to deal with a series of recalls since the vehicle went on sale in November. In June, there was a recall to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail. Two months before that, some Cybertrucks were recalled because the accelerator pedal could stick. In the most recent recall, the company notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the display screens in effected trucks may remain blank for up to 8 seconds after a driver shifts to reverse. The US requires those screens to activate with a rearview within 2 seconds of shifting into reverse.
