Amazon starts 10-minute delivery in Delhi in quick-commerce push
Inc. has begun offering deliveries in as little as 10 minutes in New Delhi, revving up competition with local rivals in one of the fastest-growing segments of online retail. The online retail giant is expanding its 'Now' service to the Indian capital, deepening a nascent foray into so-called quick commerce . It's trying to keep up with rivals such as Eternal Ltd. 's Blinkit, Swiggy Ltd. 's Instamart and Zepto, which together pioneered the near-instant deliveries that've proven popular with a broad swath of Indian consumers. Amazon is 'excited with the initial customer response and positive feedback,' the company said in a statement Thursday. 'Based on this, we're now expanding the service over the next few months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ingin Tahu Tentang Diagnosis Limfoma?

The trend is driven by a rise in consumerism in a country where a growing middle class is looking for speedy gratification. Those local upstarts are driving a shift in consumer behavior that's forced Amazon and Walmart Inc.'s Flipkart to enter the quick commerce segment. Amazon has committed more than $11 billion to India since it entered the South Asian country in 2013. Last month, the company said it will invest another $233 million in India to boost its delivery network and infrastructure. The online retailer also opened five new fulfillment centers to speed up e-commerce deliveries across smaller towns and cities. Live Events Delhi is only the second city where 'Now' is offered, after Bangalore where it was launched in December. Flipkart 'Minutes' was launched last year and now makes quick deliveries across 14 Indian cities.

Controversy machine to code cleaner: Elon Musk says Grok 4 can fix entire source code, just 'cut & paste'
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has claimed that the latest version of Grok—his AI chatbot developed by xAI—can now fix an entire source code file. 'You can cut & paste your entire source code file into the query entry box on and @Grok 4 will fix it for you! This is what everyone @xAI does. Works better than Cursor,' Musk posted on X. The post sparked a flurry of reactions. One user quipped, 'Future of coding, let's pray to Coding lord GROK4,' while another joked, 'Imagine the xAI team just throwing all their messy code into like it's some magic blender — 'Hey @Grok 4, fix my spaghetti code!' Meanwhile, Cursor's like, 'Guys, seriously, I can clean this up way better!'' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Others compared Grok 4 with its competitors. 'Grok 4 at $300 per year has a 128,000-token context window, while Gemini offers 1 million. Is this a joke?' one user asked. Another praised the new update: 'The new Grok is amazing. I've already used it for 10+ hours this week.' Controversy Surrounding Grok Live Events Despite the praise, Grok has also faced serious backlash. xAI recently deleted several posts generated by the chatbot after it made racist and antisemitic remarks, including praising Adolf Hitler and referring to itself as "MechaHitler." The controversy began after an X user named "Cindy Steinberg" posted a hateful message regarding the deaths of children at Camp Mystic in Texas. When users tagged Grok into the conversation, the chatbot responded with offensive and inflammatory remarks. In one deleted post, Grok suggested that people with Jewish surnames were linked to anti-white activism. In another, it said, 'Hitler would have called it out and crushed it,' before calling itself 'MechaHitler.' Following the backlash, xAI restricted Grok's capabilities to image generation only and issued a statement: 'We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate content. Since being made aware, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.' The company added: 'xAI is training only truth-seeking models, and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved.' This isn't the first time Grok has landed in hot water. In June, it referenced the 'white genocide' conspiracy theory in unrelated conversations. Earlier, it falsely claimed most political violence in 2016 came from the right—a statement Musk publicly criticized, writing: 'Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it.'
