Data science is a rapidly evolving field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. As the volume, variety, and velocity of data continue to grow, data scientists need sophisticated tools to handle and analyze this data
When it comes to AI models, the spotlight is mostly on the US and China. India, despite its scale and deep talent pool, has rarely been seen as a source of core AI development. But Bengaluru-based startup Sarvam AI is changing that perception with what it calls a "sovereign AI". The company is creating foundational AI models from scratch in India. This week two of its tools, Sarvam Vision and Bulbul, are making a lot of buzz.
Data science is the study, development, and practice of using reproducible and transparent processes to generate insight from data [1–4]. With roots in statistics and computer science, data science educators draw on many of the teaching strategies used in those fields [5–7]. However, data science is a distinct discipline with its own unique challenges and opportunities for teaching and learning.
The Agentic Moment has profoundly changed the economics of software. Creating high-fidelity clones of SaaS applications was always possible, but not economically feasible. These clones can be used to validate at volumes and rates that far exceed production limits and allow for the testing of failure modes that would be dangerous or impossible against live services.
It’s already transforming how companies operate.

Before heading to the Moon, SpaceX will need to demonstrate that Starship can be frequently launched and refuel while in orbit.
