OpenAI Claims AI Now Writes 80% of Code; Google Commits $190 Billion to AI Development

The artificial intelligence arms race has reached staggering new heights today. Google has officially announced a massive $190 billion budget specifically designated for AI development in 2026—a colossal figure that is more than double India's entire national defense budget. Concurrently, OpenAI has released an industry-shaking report stating that an astonishing 80% of current software code is now being generated directly by AI tools. This effectively turns human software engineers into reviewers and supervisors rather than primary code builders. In the Indian smartphone hardware market, consumers are waking up to immediate price hikes effective May 1, as major brands including Nothing, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Realme officially revised their rates upwards on several popular models. Furthermore, former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal has successfully raised a massive $100 million for his brand new AI startup, Parallel Web Systems, instantly catapulting its valuation to around ₹19,020 crore.
