Bajaj Freedom 125 becomes affordable by ₹5,000
₹5,000 data-item-target-url=/auto/two-wheelers/ data-item-story-segment=Mass Vehicles> Bajaj Freedom 125 is the first CNG-powered motorcycle in the world. Check Offers Bajaj Auto has announced a discount of ₹ 5,000 on its Freedom 125. This information was announced on the brand's social media. It is important to note that this price drop is applicable only to the NG04 drum variant, which is the base variant of the motorcycle. It is important to note that Bajaj has not announced that this is a permanent price drop, so the discount offer will go away after some time. The Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle is equipped with a 125 cc conventional petrol engine that is coupled with a CNG tank located beneath the seat. The 2 kg CNG tank, in conjunction with a 2-litre petrol tank, results in a slightly increased weight compared to other 125 cc models. This engine is capable of producing 9.4 bhp and 9.7 Nm of maximum torque.

The manufacturer asserts that the mileage of the CNG motorcycle is 102 km/kg when operating on CNG and 64 kmpl when using petrol. Bajaj also claims that the Freedom 125 can travel up to 200 km solely on CNG, while the petrol tank contributes an additional 130 km, resulting in a combined range of 330 km. Watch: Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike review: Can it trigger a revolution in two-wheelers? The Bajaj Freedom 125 showcases remarkable innovation in its design. This 125 cc CNG motorcycle features a horizontally positioned engine, complemented by a trellis frame that safeguards the CNG tank located beneath the seat. Its bi-fuel capability allows the bike to operate on both fuel types, equipped with a 2 kg CNG tank and a 2-litre petrol tank for reserve use.

Midjourney launches V1 AI video generation model right after Disney accuses it of plagiarism
Midjourney, the AI startup famous for its surreal image generation tools, is making a bold leap into video. Recently, the company unveiled V1, its long-awaited video-generation model that promises to breathe life into your static images. It's a big move for Midjourney as it throws the company into direct competition with other big-hitters like OpenAI, Runway, Adobe and Google.V1 is designed as an image-to-video model, allowing users to transform either their own uploaded pictures or Midjourney's AI-generated images into short five-second video clips. Like its sibling image models, V1 is only accessible via Discord for now and is web-only at launch. advertisementAnd it's not just videos Midjourney has in its sights. In a blog post, CEO David Holz set out some pretty ambitious goals for the company's AI, saying V1 is just the next stepping stone toward real-time 'open-world simulations.' The company also revealed its plans to branch into 3D renderings and real-time generative models down the line. While Midjourney's image tools have long appealed to artists and designers, the company has taken a slightly different tack with video. Many of its rivals — such as Sora by OpenAI, Runway's Gen-4, Firefly by Adobe and Veo 3 by Google — are going after commercial filmmakers and studios with highly controllable AI tools. Midjourney, however, is positioning itself as more of a creative playground for those looking for something a little more V1 AI video generation model: Pricing and availabilityadvertisementDespite this, Midjourney is pushing ahead. Video generation doesn't come cheap, though. V1 consumes eight times more credits per clip than Midjourney's still-image tools, so subscribers will burn through their monthly allowances far faster. At launch, Basic subscribers — who pay $10 (around Rs 866) per month — can access V1, but unlimited video generation is limited to the $60 (around Rs 5,200) Pro and $120 (approximately Rs 10,400) Mega plans, and only on the 'Relax' mode, which produces videos more slowly. However, the company says it will review this pricing structure in the coming weeks as it gathers feedback from for the tools themselves, V1 offers a surprising level of control. You can opt for an 'auto' mode that lets the AI generate motion for you or a 'manual' mode that accepts text prompts to dictate exactly how you want your animation to move. Plus, there are settings for adjusting movement intensity — 'low motion' if you want subtle shifts, or 'high motion' for more energetic effects. Clips last five seconds by default but can be extended up to 21 seconds in four-second accuses Midjourney of plagiarismThat said, Midjourney is entering the video arena under a legal cloud. Only a week ago, Disney and Universal sued the startup over its image-generation models, claiming they can produce unauthorised versions of famous characters like Darth Vader and Homer Simpson. It's part of a growing backlash across Hollywood as studios grow nervous about AI tools replacing human creatives — and AI companies face questions about training data and copyright examples of V1's output suggest Midjourney is sticking to its trademark surreal aesthetic rather than aiming for hyper-realism, the sort of style that fans of the platform have come to love. The initial reaction from users has been mostly positive so far, though it's still too early to tell how V1 will stack up against more established players like Runway and Sora.

In a first, Indian firm bags rocket tech from Isro; HAL wins SSLV ToT
Indian firm bags rocket tech from Isro; HAL wins SSLV ToT BENGALURU: In a first, an Indian company will receive the complete technology to build a rocket from Isro . Space regulator-cum promoter, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) Friday said that defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has bagged the transfer of technology (ToT) for Isro's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) at a cost of Rs 511 crore. This first-of-its-kind ToT is a milestone for the Indian Space sector. Unlike in the case of the PSLV, where a manufacturing contract was awarded to a consortium, in the case of SSLV, the launch vehicle is being entirely offered to HAL. The firm will own the rocket and will be able to build, market and launch it. 'IN-SPACe had a two-stage selection process. Six out of the nine industries were shortlisted in the first stage. In stage two, the techno-commercial bids of three of the six were reviewed by a committee and we finally arrived at HAL,' Rajiv Jyoti, IN-SPACe director-technical said. IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka said the committee headed by former principal scientific advisor to govt Prof Vijaya Raghavan and co-headed by former Isro director Suresh, after careful evaluation found all three bidders qualified technically. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'And then we opened the commercial bids in which HAL's Rs 511 crore emerged as the highest bidder,' Goenka said. While HAL bid as a standalone company, the other two shortlisted bidders were consortia, one led by Alpha Design in Bengaluru and the other by Bharat Dynamics Limited (Hyderabad). Once the technology is transferred, HAL is aiming to build around 6-10 in a year, based on demand. 'The payment will be done in phases. The ToT will take two years. 'HAL will make at least two SSLV rockets (prototypes) with complete help and hand-holding by Isro and after two years, they will be on their own. The initial ToT agreement will be for the first two years and then another contract will be signed between HAL and Isro,' Goenka said. He said once HAL is on its own, it will be free to even change the design of the rocket and choose its partners. India's Space PSU NewSpace India Limited (Nsil), IN-SPACe, Isro and HAL will now sign a contract. The commercial part of the contract will be handled by Nsil and IN-SPACe will handle the transfer of technology in collaboration with multiple Isro centres. Goenka said: 'I think this is one of the most complex ToTs carried out in India and I think the technology is going to a very capable hands in HAL. They are very familiar with launch vehicles and they have been part of several projects with Isro. Hopefully, we will create a new space company in India with HAL now entering as an owner-marketer of a rocket.' Barenya Senapati, HAL director-finance, while welcoming the decision by IN-SPACe, said winning the bid was in line with HAL's larger goal of entering the space sector in a larger way than it has been doing in the past. He also said that adding a new portfolio will not affect its other operations. On who will bear the liability, Goenka, said: 'The state has the responsibility of the launch vehicle as per international norms. It is up to GoI to decide how much of the liability rests with it and how much will be transferred to the owner of the rocket. Once the contract is signed, HAL will follow whatever the rule of the land is.' '...When Skyroot launched, we had asked them to take launch liability insurance… We are currently debating what we'll do in the future. Either as part of the Space Law or other means, the details will be worked out,' he added.
