A user on X had tweeted today (hence deleted) that their confidentiality was breached when blinkit swapped their sensitive visa documents with someone else's application.

Blinkit, Zomato's quick-commerce app, lets customers upload PDFs for fast prints from dark stores, but a recent complaint about printing visa documents highlighted risks as operators review files, check them before packing, and store data.

Others shared mishaps like receiving a child's political map instead of court papers or a stranger's bank statements and PAN details. While Blinkit apologizes and claims to delete files after printing, many advise against using it for confidential info, favoring personal printers instead.

YC President Garry Tan on their internal social announced that Delve has been asked to leave YC.

The same has been confirmed by a tweet from Delve co-founder Selin Kocalar.

After the initial substack article on them about using generic templates for SOC 2 reported earlier, more information came about about them where details emerged that they likely stole the IP of a fellow Y Combinator company (SimStudio) and ripped off another (Oneleet).

The link for Delve on YC's company list has also been removed: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/delve

YC has not officially announce anything as of yet.

Startup Sahayak
is an AI-powered digital platform launched by Razorpay in March 2026, in strategic partnership with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and Startup India.

It serves as an "AI co-pilot" for early-stage founders to bridge the gap between having an idea and executing it.

GLM-5V-Turbo does native multimodal coding, balanced visual and programming capabilities, and deep adaptation for Claude Code and Claw Scenarios.

The model can understand design drafts, screenshots, and web interfaces to generate complete, runnable code, truly achieving the goal of "seeing the screen and writing the code.

GLM-5V-Turbo leads in benchmarks for design draft reconstruction, visual code generation, multimodal retrieval and QA, and visual exploration. It also performs exceptionally well on AndroidWorld and WebVoyager, which measure control capabilities in real GUI environments.

Regarding pure-text coding, GLM-5V-Turbo maintains stable performance across three core benchmarks of CC-Bench-V2 (Backend, Frontend, and Repo Exploration), proving that the introduction of visual capabilities does not degrade text-based reasoning.

The leading performance of GLM-5V-Turbo stems from systematic upgrades across four levels:

• Native Multimodal Fusion: Deep fusion of text and vision begins at pre-training, with multimodal collaborative optimization during post-training. We developed the next-generation CogViT visual encoder, reaching SOTA in general object recognition, fine-grained understanding, and geometric/spatial perception. We also designed an inference-friendly MTP structure to ensure high efficiency.
• 30 Task Collaborative RL: The RL stage optimizes over 30 task types simultaneously, covering STEM, grounding, video, and GUI Agents. This improves perception and reasoning while mitigating the instability often found in single-domain training.
• Agentic Data and Task Construction: To solve the challenge of scarce Agent data, we built a multi-level system ranging from element perception to sequence-level action prediction. We use synthetic environments to generate verifiable training data and inject "Agentic Meta-capabilities" during pre-training (e.g., adding GUI Agent PRM data to reduce hallucinations).
• Multimodal Toolchain Extension: Beyond text tools, the model supports multimodal search, drawing, and web reading. This expands the perception-action loop into visual interaction. Synergies with Claude Code and OpenClaw are enhanced to support full-loop task execution.
