Perplexity Launches Computer for Counsel – A Dedicated AI Powered Legal Aid o

By Devanshi Kashyap | June 25, 2026

Over the past couple years, legal firms have been testing all kinds of artificial intelligence tools; ones that help with research, drafting, and searching through documents. But most of these tools act somewhat similar to chatbots. Yes they’re capable of answering questions but they still require lawyers to manually complete much of the work that follows. Perplexity aims to change that by introducing Computer for Counsel, which is its legal oriented AI agent platform. What makes this shift especially notable is that legal teams or no longer interested in finding the fastest answers, instead, they want systems that make it […]

BEVPoolV3 Reduces latency in GPU architectures

How NVIDIA’s BEVPoolV3 Software Address Latency in GPU-Based Self Driving Vehicles

By Khwaish Manwani | June 25, 2026

Bird’s eye view visibility is a common pattern in self-driving vehicles, spatial AI systems, and robotics. By projecting different views through BEVPoolV3 into one grid, BEV-based pipelines provide visibility with a consistent representation of the surroundings. This feature eases reasoning about obstacles, other vehicles, lanes, and trajectories. A key feature within this is BEV pooling, which blends image features and scatter reduces them into BEV grid cells. While the concept is simple, BEV pooling causes latency in real-world adoption due to insufficient memory access, repeated reads, scatter-reduce behavior, and sensitivity to GPU cache. BEVPoolV3 addresses these issues through kernel-level optimization […]

Musk Confirms “Starmind”, SpaceX’s Million-Satellite AI Plan

By Abhijay Singh Rawat | June 24, 2026

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has confirmed the name of the American aerospace manufacturer’s most anticipated project yet. In a recent interaction on X, Musk locked in Starmind as the official name for SpaceX’s upcoming plan to orbit up to a million AI-enabled satellites. The name was first teased through xAI trademark filings and backed by a January 2026 FCC application for non-geostationary orbital data centers. Here’s a brief on what the Starmind project is, how Musk plans to tackle power and water limitations, challenges, timeline and more details on the project. Yes — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 23, 2026 What […]

NSA Revokes Anthropic’s Model After Export Controls

By Khwaish Manwani | June 24, 2026

The NSA authority is facing a massive roadblock, denied access to one of the most essential artificial intelligence tools within government systems. The issue arose after the Trump government exercised export controls on Anthropic, which is an American artificial intelligence startup. This also led to slandering the National Security Agency’s (NSA) access to AI models, which help to detect software vulnerabilities. The shift depicts a differentiation in the U.S. policy for frontier artificial intelligence dependence. This issue escalates amidst a political rift with the companies building those systems. What Triggered the Cutoff for NSA? The National Security Agency (NSA) dealt […]
