Sometime during the World Cup final, while most of the planet watched a football match, an Anthropic researcher called Levent Alpöge posted a single line of algebra to X and announced that one of the oldest unsolved problems in higher mathematics was finished. No journal. No press release. Six polynomials, a thank-you to a friend called Akhil for asking the question, and a thank-you to Claude Fable 5, the model that did the work while the match was on.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
In my current role as Editor of Gadgets Now Studios, I bring that experience, instinct and editorial firepower to the table, with the mandate of scaling the brand to towering heights.
