Google has started rolling out a new Gmail feature powered by Gemini AI that automatically summarizes emails by default, enhancing how users navigate long or complex threads.
Previously, users had to tap the “Summarize this email” option to view a condensed version of an email thread. With the new update, summaries now appear automatically at the top of the message for emails where Gemini determines a summary would be helpful, typically in long conversations or chains with multiple replies.

Real-Time Updates with Each Reply
Gemini dynamically updates the summary as new replies come in, ensuring the summary reflects the most recent developments in the conversation. This aims to save users time and reduce the need to scroll through lengthy threads.
At launch, the automatic summary feature supports only English-language emails. While not every message will receive an automatic summary, users can still manually activate the feature by tapping the “Summarize this email” chip at the top of the message.

Who Gets Access?
The rollout is expected to take up to 15 days and is limited to select user groups. These include subscribers of Google Workspace, Google One AI Premium, and customers with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium plans.

A new immunotherapy drug has doubled the time patients with advanced head and neck cancer remain cancer-free, according to results from a major international clinical trial.
The study, involving more than 350 patients, found that those treated with pembrolizumab before and after surgery stayed cancer-free for an average of five years, up from 2.5 years with standard treatment. The trial, called Keynote, is the first in two decades to show such a significant improvement for this hard-to-treat cancer.

Head and neck cancers are notoriously difficult to treat, with more than half of patients dying within five years of diagnosis. The new approach, developed by researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and led globally by Washington University Medical School in St Louis, uses pembrolizumab to prime the immune system before surgery and continue boosting it afterward.
Professor Kevin Harrington, who led the UK arm of the trial, explained that giving the drug before surgery helps the body recognize and attack cancer cells if they return. “It significantly decreases the chance of cancer spreading around the body, at which point it’s incredibly difficult to treat,” he said.
Laura Marston, 45, from Derbyshire, was one of the patients who benefited from the new treatment. Diagnosed with advanced tongue cancer in 2019 and given only a 30% chance of surviving five years, she is now cancer-free and working full-time. “Just having this amazing immunotherapy has given me my life back again,” she said.
The trial’s results, presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, suggest that pembrolizumab could soon become a new standard of care for advanced head and neck cancer. Researchers are calling for the treatment to be made available on the NHS.

About 12,800 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer each year in the UK. The study was funded by the drug company MSD and involved 192 hospitals across 24 countries.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has begun testing its new messaging feature, XChat, with selected users. The rollout appears limited to beta testers who subscribe to the platform’s premium service, according to multiple user reports and independent confirmations.
This means that public testing has finally begun, and it should not be long before the feature is rolled out to the public, though there is no official confirmation as of yet.

A Replacement for Traditional DMs
XChat is designed to replace the platform’s current direct messaging (DM) system, which has remained largely unchanged since before Elon Musk acquired the company. The upcoming system is expected to offer significantly more functionality, as part of Musk’s long-standing mission to integrate a Signal-like secure messaging platform within X.
Reported Features
While X has not yet released full specifications, reverse engineer Nima Owji shared screenshots and details suggesting that XChat will include group messaging, end-to-end encryption, a vanishing mode, file sharing, and the option to mark messages as unread. Users will also reportedly need to set a four-digit passcode to access their messages, adding another layer of security.

Pakistan has taken a revolutionary step to modernize its economy. The Government of Pakistan has allocated 2000 megawatts of national electricity capacity for Bitcoin Mining. This decision was made after a high-level meeting between Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir and the National Crypto Council, which marks the practical inclusion of Pakistan in the Digital Economy.

Pakistan’s young tennis stars continued their dream run at the regional level, ending their campaign as joint winners of the Asian Tennis Federation (ATF) U12 Team Competition – South Asia, after rain washed out the final against hosts Sri Lanka in Colombo on Friday.

The title was shared between the two sides as the match could not be completed due to persistent rain. However, both teams—Pakistan and Sri Lanka—earned qualification to the prestigious ATF U12 Team Competition of Asia Finals, scheduled to be held in Singapore in late August 2025.
Before the skies opened, Pakistan had made a strong start in the final, carrying on from their domination of India in the previous round. Rising talent Rashid Ali delivered a composed performance to edge past Sri Lanka’s Wevita Nuren Jaylen Mendis in the opening singles, winning 5-4 (7-2), 4-0. The second singles, featuring Muhammad Shayan Afridi against Amarasinghe Revaan, was locked at 2-4, 4-2 (1-0 in tie-break) when play was suspended.
Pakistan reached the final on the back of a dominant showing throughout the week, sweeping aside India (2-0), Maldives (3-0), Bangladesh (3-0), and Nepal (3-0) without dropping a single tie. Their unbeaten record reflects a growing depth in the country’s youth tennis structure.
Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) President Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi lauded the young team’s impressive run, calling it a proud moment for the sport in the country

Indian AI unicorn, Builder.AI, has just spectacularly collapsed, laying off all of its employees and entering insolvency proceedings. The startup, which was worth $1.5 billion and raised over half a billion, with major investments from Microsoft, SoftBank, and other tech giants, was apparently completely faking its “AI backend.”
Founded in 2016, Builder.ai promised to revolutionize app development, making it “as easy as ordering pizza.” The company, led by India’s AI poster boy Sachin Dev Duggal (who later awarded himself the whimsical title “Chief Wizard”), managed to charm investors out of nearly half a billion dollars, including heavyweight backers Microsoft, SoftBank, and the Qatar Investment Authority.

According to multiple reports, Builder.ai’s vaunted AI technology was actually just a group of human developers in India manually writing code behind the scenes. As Brobible reports, “multiple current and former employees reported that some pricing and scheduling calculations were done by traditional software, with most of the remaining work done manually by employees.”

The end came swiftly this month when creditor Viola Credit, which had lent Builder.ai $50 million in 2023, seized $37 million from the company’s accounts. With only $5 million left (which was restricted by government regulations), the company couldn’t even meet payroll.

Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev on Wednesday announced a $2 billion investment package for Pakistan during a trilateral summit with Turkey and Pakistan.
Aliyev said the three countries are currently reviewing investment projects totaling $2 billion, with Pakistan expected to receive a major share. Discussions are underway to finalize projects in infrastructure, energy, and technology.

Aliyev emphasized that joint defence initiatives among Pakistan, Turkey, and Azerbaijan are essential for regional stability and mutual security.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed support for strategic ties with both countries. He also supported Azerbaijan’s post-war reconstruction and condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza (Palestine).
The summit was attended by Erdogan and senior Pakistani officials. Multiple memoranda of understanding and joint declarations are expected in the coming weeks.
Pakistan has not yet officially confirmed the investment details. However, sources indicated that negotiations are in progress.

Cristiano Ronaldo has ignited speculation about his future after posting a cryptic message on social media following the conclusion of his Saudi Pro League season with Al-Nassr.

The 40-year-old striker, who joined Al-Nassr in 2022, shared a photo of himself in the club’s kit with the caption: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr is set to expire this summer, on June 30. Despite his impressive tally of 25 league goals this season, Al-Nassr finished third in the league and failed to secure a spot in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently mentioned that there are discussions about Ronaldo potentially participating in the expanded Club World Cup, which begins on June 14 in the United States. Infantino stated, “There are discussions with some clubs,” suggesting that Ronaldo could join a participating team for the tournament.
While rumors have linked Ronaldo to various clubs, including a possible reunion with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dismissed these claims, stating, “There’s absolutely nothing to those stories.”

Despite posting excellent numbers since moving to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has failed to win any trophies with the club. He has netted 99 goals for them in 111 appearances overall, but with no silverware to show for his efforts, the Portuguese great may be looking for new pastures.
As the football world awaits Ronaldo’s next move, his recent message indicates that while his time at Al-Nassr may be concluding, his illustrious career continues to unfold. Where he will end up is anyone’s guess at the moment.

Her impressive win capped off a memorable tournament for Pakistan, which sent just six athletes—all self-funded—yet returned home with four medals.
This was Bano Kausar’s first time competing in the Asian Ju-Jitsu Championship, but she performed like a veteran. After beating Thailand’s Sugun Nutchaya in the semifinal, she held her nerve to overcome the experienced Indian opponent in the final. Already known as an Asian MMA champion, Bano has now made her mark in ju-jitsu as well, showing just how versatile and talented she is.
Her victory is even more impressive considering the challenges she faced. Pakistan’s small team of three men and three women had no financial support from the Pakistan Sports Board or Olympic Association. While other countries brought over 100 athletes, Pakistan competed with limited resources and still made history.
Bano Kausar wasn’t the only one who impressed in the tournament from Pakistan. Kainat Arif and Isra Waseem won bronze medals in team categories, while M. Ali Rashid and M. Yousaf Ali earned another bronze in the men’s event. With one gold and three bronze medals, Pakistan finished the event with real pride.

In a groundbreaking move to transform Pakistan into a global leader in digital innovation, the Government of Pakistan has announced the allocation of 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in the first phase of a national initiative to power Bitcoin mining and Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers.
According to a press release issued by the Finance Ministry, this initiative is spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC)—a government-backed body under the Ministry of Finance—as part of a broader strategy to monetize surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment, and generate billions of dollars for government.
Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb stated that this strategic allocation marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey, unlocking economic potential by turning excess energy into innovation, investment, and international revenue.

Pakistan is uniquely positioned—both geographically and economically—to become a global hub for data centers. As a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Pakistan offers the most strategic location in the world for data flow and digital infrastructure.
Since the inception of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been tremendous interest from global Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies. Several international firms have already visited the country for exploratory discussions, and following this landmark announcement, more global players are expected to visit in the coming weeks.
Pakistan’s underutilized power generation capacity is now being repurposed into a high-value digital asset. AI data centers and Bitcoin mining operations, known for their consistent and heavy energy usage, provide an ideal use case for this surplus. Redirecting idle energy, especially from plants operating below capacity, allows Pakistan to convert a long-standing financial liability into a sustainable, revenue-generating opportunity.
Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, emphasized the transformative nature of this initiative. He explained that with proper regulation, transparency, and international collaboration, Pakistan can become a global crypto and AI powerhouse. He added that this energy-backed digital transformation not only unlocks high-value investment but enables the government to generate foreign exchange in USD through Bitcoin mining.
Additionally, as regulations evolve, Pakistan can accumulate Bitcoin directly into a national wallet—marking a monumental shift from selling power in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) to leveraging digital assets for economic stability.
By offering stable and affordable energy, Pakistan presents a highly competitive environment compared to regional counterparts like India and Singapore, where rising power costs and land scarcity limit scalability.
Pakistan’s strategic advantage is further underscored by the global context: while AI data center demand has soared to over 100 GW, global supply remains around 15 GW. This massive shortfall creates an unprecedented opportunity for countries like Pakistan with surplus power, land, and an emerging regulatory framework.
The country’s digital connectivity has also been significantly strengthened by the landing of the world’s largest submarine internet cable. The Africa-2 Cable Project, a 45,000-kilometre global network connecting 33 countries through 46 landing stations, has now landed in Pakistan. This milestone enhances Pakistan’s internet bandwidth, latency, and resilience through redundant fiber routes—key for ensuring high availability and operational continuity for AI data centers.
With a population of over 250 million and more than 40 million crypto users, Pakistan holds immense potential as a regional leader in digital services. Establishing local AI data centers will not only address growing concerns around data sovereignty but will also enhance cybersecurity, improve digital service delivery, and empower national capabilities in AI and cloud infrastructure. These centers are expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, catalyzing the development of a skilled workforce in engineering, IT, and data sciences.
This announcement marks only the first phase of a broader, multi-stage digital infrastructure rollout. Future developments are expected to include renewable energy-powered facilities—leveraging Pakistan’s immense wind (50,000 MW potential in the Gharo-Keti Bandar corridor), solar, and hydropower resources—strategic international partnerships with leading blockchain and AI companies, and the establishment of fintech and innovation hubs.

These efforts will be complemented by proposed incentives such as tax holidays, customs duty exemptions on equipment, and reduced taxes for AI infrastructure developers.
Pakistan’s combination of surplus power, geographic advantage, advanced subsea cable connectivity, renewable energy potential, and a large, digitally engaged population creates a compelling case for becoming a regional epicenter of Web3, AI, and digital innovation.
With the right incentives, strategic investments, and collaborative partnerships, Pakistan is positioning itself not only as a destination for global digital infrastructure but also as a sovereign economy that can accumulate digital assets, export digital services, and lead in the next generation of technological transformation.

While Indian mangos are getting rejected in the US, Pakistan is busy planting the world’s rarest and most expensive mangos in Karachi. The rare Japanese-origin Miyazaki is now being cultivated in Malir Memon Goth, where it is selling for an eye-watering Rs 300,000 per kilogram.

Famed for its striking purple color and exceptional sweetness, the Miyazaki mango was first grown in Japan’s Miyazaki city. On the international market, it commands prices between $800 and $900 per kilogram, making it one of the priciest fruits in the world.
The journey of this exotic fruit to Pakistan began six years ago, when Ghulam Hashim Noorani imported a sapling from Japan. Since then, he has successfully cultivated the mango in Malir, with the fruit now fetching up to Rs 250,000 to Rs 300,000 locally.
According to Faheem, the gardener tending the tree, the mangoes are mainly prepared for export. “This is the first and only Miyazaki mango tree in Pakistan, and it’s right here in Malir,” he said.

The Miyazaki mango stands out for its deep purple hue, luscious pulp, and ultra-sweet, juicy flavor. It is fiberless, exceptionally soft, and aromatic, melting in the mouth like cream. Its premium quality and rarity have earned it nicknames such as “Eggs of Sunshine” and “Dinosaur’s Egg” due to its radiant color and unique shape.

In a major development for solar energy users, the government is preparing to simplify and digitalize the process for applying for new net metering connections through an online portal.
A high-level meeting, chaired by Federal Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, reviewed the upcoming online system for handling net metering connection requests. The aim is to make the application process easier, more transparent, and user-friendly.

During the meeting, Minister Leghari stressed the need to resolve all existing issues in the current application system promptly. He instructed the relevant electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to be trained on using the new portal and called for a practical demonstration to ensure smooth implementation.
The minister also directed the launch of an awareness campaign to educate electricity consumers on how to use the new system and understand the transparency benefits it offers.

Last month, Awais Leghari revealed that only 5 to 8 percent of solar system owners in Pakistan had registered for net metering. He added that the federal cabinet had asked for a review of the current net metering policy. “Our goal is to ensure that when people invest in solar and net metering, they recover their costs within three to four years and feel satisfied with their decision,” he stated.

Bitcoin (BTC) has set a new all-time high of $110,099 on early Thursday morning. For those who haven’t been following BTC’s journey from hell back this year, the flagship currency has gained over $30,000 since dropping as low as $75,000 in early April.
At around 6 AM Pakistani Time, BTC was up nearly 4 percent to as high as $110,100. At 7:50 AM PKT, it was up by 3 percent and sat comfortably at $109,881.

A market insider told ProPakistani that several thousand new Pakistani investors entered the space with big investments in small to medium-sized digital currencies after the Ministry of Finance on Wednesday announced the initiation of the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA) to regulate digital assets and accelerate the growth of Pakistan’s virtual asset economy which is currently worth over $25 billion.
Many commentators are projecting an even higher jump to somewhere around $200,000 by the end of the current calendar year (2025).
At the time of press, Ethereum (ETH) was up 2.45 percent at $2,590 while Solana was up 3.8 percent at $175 and BNB at $679 per coin.
