FOR the first time, Anil Agarwal has taken a board position in his Indian entity Vedanta Ltd, replacing brother Navin.

The company said that Anil Agarwal has been appointed as "the non-executive chairman" of the Indian entity, which houses oil and gas, aluminium, power, iron ore, steel and copper business.

Anil had been heading London-based Vedanta Resources so far.

Navin will now be the executive Vice Chairman of the board.

The change happened following the resignation of the CEO S Venkatakrishnan. He was replaced by Sunil Duggal, current head of Vedanta unit Hindustan Zinc Ltd.

'The company will be run by a management committee comprising of CEO, CFO, CHRO and CCO who will take all key decisions collectively under the guidance of Chairman," the statement said.

Anil Agarwal's daughter Priya is also in the board as director.

OpenAI limits ChatGPT’s image generation feature amid viral Ghibli image trend

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced temporary limitations on the company’s image generation feature in response to overwhelming demand driven by a viral trend. On Thursday, Altman addressed the impact of the popular Ghibli-style image trend on OpenAI’s resources, particularly its reliance on GPUs (graphics processing units). Altman revealed that the surge in demand for ChatGPT’s image generation tool has led to significant strain on the company’s infrastructure, prompting the introduction of temporary speed limits for users.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Altman shared the company’s response to the unexpected demand, stating, “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT, but our GPUs are melting. We are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. Hopefully won’t be long! ChatGPT free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.”
