Pi

 The world’s ‘friendliest’ chatbot powered by the new Infl ection-2.5 LLM.

 Pi is an AI chatbot with which one can have deep and meaningful conversations.

for training GPT-4.

 It also excels in providing high-quality and up-to-date information in real-time.

ADVANCED MEDIUM COMBAT AIRCRAFT

 It aims to develop India’s indigenous fi fth-generation fi ghter multirole jet.

 The AMCA project is valued at Rs 15,000 crore.

 The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under DRDO will lead the program, with HAL 

responsible for manufacturing.

 It will feature a concealed internal fuel tank and an internal weapons bay for various weapons The AMCA will possess low electromagnetic signature, powerful sensors, and new weapons,

distinguishing it from fourth-generation aircraft.
