AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Twitter may soon let you post tweets of up to 10,000 characters

Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Monday said that the microblogging platform will “soon” extend “longform tweets” to 10,000 characters. When YouTuber @ThePrimeagen, who posts videos related to coding, asked Musk, “the dev community and I were wondering if you could add code blocks to tweets?”

Musk replied: “As an attachment? How many chars? We are extending long-form tweets to 10k soon.”

Several users expressed their thoughts on Twitter CEO’s post. While one user said, “You’re a crazy man lmao,” another commented, “!! Wow! That’s really good news. Actual microblogging!”

Last month, the company announced that Blue subscribers in the US can post long tweets of up to 4,000 characters on the platform. Only Blue subscribers can post longer tweets, but non-subscribers can read, reply, retweet and quote tweets to them.

Earlier, tweets were limited to only 280 characters, which still applies to non-subscribers. The 280-character limit was an upgrade over the original limit of 140 characters, which was Twitter’s unique feature. When the character limit was increased, several users criticised the move, saying it will make Twitter lose its identity.

Meanwhile, Musk had said that the micro-blogging platform is “spinning up subscriptions” so that users can “charge” their followers for specific content. But this new feature is meant for Twitter Blue subscribers only. Users who are not paying to access Twitter will be stuck to the regular Twitter without any additional features. In India, the Twitter Blue subscription costs Rs 900 per month and gives you all those new features, as well as the blue tick next to your profile name.
