#QS World University Rankings 2027: #IITDelhi Further Improves its Global Ranking, Achieves 118th Position; Continues to be No. 1 Indian Institute

With the 118th rank, IIT Delhi has also equalled the highest global position ever achieved by an Indian institution in the QS World University Rankings.

India’s rise in QS World University Rankings is no longer being driven by IITs, as gains are becoming more dispersed, with more private and state universities, and central  institutions making it to the list.  However, the flagship still matters — IIT-Delhi has climbed  to 118th in the world, equalling the highest rank ever  achieved by an Indian institution. Globally, MIT retained  retained the top spot for the 15th consecutive year,  followed by Imperial College London and Stanford University  (joint second). 👇

Hardware is the bridge between AI and the physical world

Atoms and bits must work together to create future systems embedded with physical intelligence

We wrote a guide for those curious about the atoms.

Why is the Midjourney team uniquely qualified to build medical hardware?

@BeffJezos, founder of @extropic:

"David's a trained physicist. He worked at NASA. He was a founder of Leap Motion, which is completely slept on as one of the first major projects he worked on."

"What I really like about that team is that a lot of the same team from Leap Motion followed David into Midjourney and now into this hardware exploration."

"They were training neural nets before there was TensorFlow, before there was GPUs. They did it on CPUs, and they had some of the first neural network technology deployed in a consumer product."

"So people are like, 'Why would a gen AI company pivot into medical devices?' It's really folks that came from the hardware world finding this unique blend between neural nets and hardware to achieve things people didn't think were possible."

"If it's physically possible, I very much have faith that that team can pull it off."

Chromium is one of the web rendering engines that introduced the multi-process architecture for safety and security by sandboxing the web or the rendering process.

There’s never been a better time to start developing building with quantum. Learn the basics, install Qiskit, and run your first code on a real quantum computer today.

What is quantum advantage?

As we see it, it’s a collective understanding that quantum systems can solve some problem(s) classical computers simply cannot. 🧵
