Each week, we bring you 5 stories that resonated the most in our internal Slack channel #AI-news. We write the newsletter using various AI tools because we're an AI company and our marketing wants to move with the times too. 😎
Today you're reading the 79th issue in a row.

AI stethoscope 🩺 detects heart problems in 15 seconds ⚡.
Researchers from Imperial College London have developed an AI stethoscope that can diagnose heart failure, valve disease, and arrhythmias in just 15 seconds 🩺. In a clinical trial involving 12,000 patients, detection of atrial fibrillation tripled and heart failure doubled 📈. The AI is able to recognize dangerous conditions that a doctor might miss 🧠.
The device records heart sounds and ECG signals, which are sent to the cloud and analyzed by an AI model ☁️. The diagnosis is automatic and doesn’t require a specialist, allowing use even in primary care settings 🏥. Doctors gain a tool that helps detect problems early and efficiently 💡.
Faster diagnosis can reduce emergency hospitalizations and help prevent complications, saving both costs and lives ❤️. General practitioners in the UK are already using the device, and the NHS plans to roll it out more widely in clinics over the next year 🇬🇧.

Nvidia breaks records 📈 – quarterly revenue hits $46.7 billion 💥.
Nvidia reported a record-breaking $46.7 billion in quarterly revenue, marking a 56% year-over-year increase 📈. The main driver of this growth was the sale of AI infrastructure – with the new Blackwell chips alone generating $27 billion 💻. This demand highlights how aggressively companies are investing in computing power to train and run AI models 🤖.
Net profit rose to $26.4 billion, a 59% year-over-year increase 💰. Nvidia has also solidified its role in the AI ecosystem by supplying hardware for open-source models from OpenAI, making it an increasingly critical partner for the entire sector 🌐. From both a technology and business standpoint, it dominates as the leading provider of AI hardware 🧠.
The only weak spot is the Chinese market, where sales have stagnated due to U.S. regulatory restrictions 🇨🇳. Nvidia did not deliver a single H20 chip to China this quarter, illustrating how geopolitical tensions may limit the company’s reach in certain regions 🔒.

Reliance Intelligence 📡 – India builds its own AI infrastructure 🇮🇳.
India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, has launched the “Reliance Intelligence” initiative aimed at building national AI infrastructure for India 🧠. Key partners include Google Cloud and Meta, with a new data center in Jamnagar set to support both government and enterprise applications 🏗️. Meta is also investing $100 million in a joint AI venture with Reliance, based on Llama models 💰.
The company is also considering a partnership with OpenAI and is preparing an IPO for its telecom division Jio in 2026 📈. With 600 million users in its ecosystem, Reliance is well-positioned to play a central role in India’s AI landscape – and emerge as a competitor to both the U.S. and China 🌏.

AI boom is slowing down 📉 – major companies pause hiring and investments 🤖.
Early signs of a slowdown in the AI boom are emerging 📉. Meta has paused hiring in its AI division, OpenAI acknowledged missteps with the launch of GPT-5, and an MIT study found that 95% of AI projects have generated little to no revenue 🧪. This triggered a market response – shares of companies like Palantir, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD dropped by 3 to 9% 📊.
Even voices within the sector are calling for caution 🗣️. Sam Altman warns of a bubble, Eric Schmidt cautions against blindly prioritizing AGI, and public skepticism remains high regarding AI’s real-world impact ⚠️. The upcoming quarterly results from Nvidia will be a key test of whether the boom still has momentum – or if a correction is coming 🔍.

USA and India join forces 🤝 – a new alliance for emerging technologies is forming 🌍.
Eight major American and Indian VC firms – including Accel and Blume Ventures – have launched the India Deep Tech Investment Alliance, committing over $1 billion to Indian startups in fields like AI, semiconductors, quantum technologies, and biotechnology 💸.
The alliance is backed by India’s new $11 billion RDI government initiative 🇮🇳 and will offer startups capital, mentorship, and joint industry representation 🧠.
The goal is to support real innovation beyond consumer apps and strengthen ties between the US and India in critical technologies 🌐.
