If this is just one month of this year, there is no doubt that the AI landscape will evolve into a completely different sphere over another 11 months compared to the current method of assessment. In late December, before Deepseek Bombshell fell to Silicon Valley, Openai said the O3 Reasoning model was ready to ship within a few weeks. Additionally, O3-MINI is now available to free tier users within the ChatGPT app, and an API for developers is now available. The promise is that the O3-MINI is 24% faster than the O1-MINI, and of course provides a more accurate answer.
A lot has happened at Microsoft, and the focus is on partnership with Openai. First, Microsoft security researchers showed that Openai’s model was used by Deepseek in one way to train his own impressive R1. This is the point that I will continue for a while. Ironically, Openai and other AI companies may recognize that using other people’s work to train AI models is not cool. When the boots were on the other leg they were probably as cool as they thought they were before. It wasn’t even a minor blip. multiple lawsuit authors and book publishers, content creators, news organizations, comedians, musicians, music publishers, visual artists, celebrities.
A few days later, Microsoft confirmed that the Deepseek R1 would be available on Copilot+ PCs. The specified timeline is a PC with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip.
Secondly, Microsoft has also added Openai’s O1 inference model to its Copilot users. There is no need to pay additional fees £2,000 for Copilot Pro subscription. Or, therefore, a ChatGpt Plus subscription. I think this integration’s branding umbrella is deep (Microsoft says it will consider queries from multiple angles and perspectives). I’ll go into detail about what you can and can’t do in the next few weeks (using a Windows PC requires a considerable reorganization in your life.
Speaking of AI races, Silicon Valley seems to be stuck with the idea of investment-intensive methodology. In addition to the results for the fiscal year 2025, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc., has outlined a plan for AI innovation to “invest in approximately $75 billion in capital expenditures in 2025.” Like someone said, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Apple’s fiscal year is a little different. They just released their first quarter figures for 2025. This turns out to be a December quarter record behind robust sales across the product line to compensate for the slightest dip in global iPhone sales. iPad sales are on the rise. Mac sales are on the rise. My years of faith in the service continues to be rewarded. That being said, India as a market is defiant, with Apple reporting high-quality iPhone sales in the country.
My big takeaway was what I wrote after the revenue call ended, and Apple CEO Tim Cook re-murred what Apple was “particularly keen on India.” This is a continuous chapter, but certain sections of online chat (you may have seen such commentary) will otherwise be trusted. The pricing of the iPhone 16 series, which reversed generational inflation, was a huge positive. How many Android phone makers managed this?
“This is the second largest smartphone market in the world and the third largest for PCs and tablets, so there’s a huge market and these markets have a very modest share, so there’s I think a lot of the opposite. In emerging markets,” he said of India. Over the past few weeks, the Apple Store app will join the Apple India Online Store and two Apple stores, Saket and BKC as separate retail touchpoints. At that point, Cook is confirming that four new Apple stores will open doors for customers this year. There is a lot to say about the importance of India to Apple.
anxiety? Perhaps, in the most substantial changes in AI principles since its first release in 2018, Google has removed its pledge not to “design or deploy” AI tools to use weapons and surveillance technologies. It seems. Instead, it was replaced by “responsible development and deployment.” Does it look nothing?

There was a lot in the Union Budget 2025 in the hopes of moving forward with a kind of incentive that would help India’s digital economy, digital footprint, and the next stage of innovation. Startups in particular draw profits from a multifaceted approach that governments hope to promote innovation and expand their startup ecosystem with the ultimate benefit of job creation. new £10,000 Krole Fund funds, high availability of startup credit, and reducing guarantee fees in 27 sectors is an important development. Deep Technology will also show FOF in the coming months. AI Push shows more spending, including education. Does that mean that India will soon emerge in developments like Deep? It is unlikely, but an important foundation is laid for the future. There has been a response from the industry for all the technologies in this budget.
“The Union Budget 2025-26 illustrates a crucial step in accelerating India’s leadership in technology and AI. Establishing the excellence of three AI centres £500 Kroul, coupled with plans to explore the fund’s deep tech fund, addressing key gaps in infrastructure and applied research, is built on the momentum of initiatives like India’s mission” – Apurv Agrawal, CEO and co-founder Squadstack.
“The government’s decision to allocate £500 Kroules to establish the AI Excellence Centre for Education’s Department of Education identifies key steps to leverage technology to transform learning. The initiative highlights the potential of technology to create immersive, future-ready classrooms, and continues to promote innovation in this field to support the evolving needs of educators and students. I’m committed.
“Major reforms in logistics sectors such as Bharat Tradenet will streamline processes, reduce bottlenecks, increase transparency and increase the efficiency of fast commerce and e-commerce. Support for Make in India initiatives is , further boosts domestic manufacturing and furthers demand for technology-driven logistics. Ashish Sikka, Chief Strategy Officer at ECOM Express Limited, further strengthens AI-driven solutions in predictive analytics and route optimization I will do it.
“It is encouraging to see the introduction of the Centre for Excellence (COE) for Artificial Intelligence in Education, as AI becomes an essential tool in the high-tech economy. To position India as a leader in the global AI race, It is essential to prioritize investing in STEM talent.” – Aparna Iyer, CFO, Wipro Limited.
“The establishment of a national manufacturing mission is perfectly in line with our “Make in India” initiative and ensures that it provides the policy support and framework necessary for industries of all sizes. As India moves forward, our commitment to supporting domestic industries, embracing digital advancements and promoting climate-friendly growth remains unshakable.” – Pradeep Bakshi, MD & CEO, Voltas Limited.
“The decision to increase basic tariffs on interactive flat panel displays is an important step in addressing the inverse work structure. This move will promote local manufacturing and support the growing demand for advanced educational technology. , ultimately strengthening innovation in the learning environment. Establishment of the Center for AI Excellence in Education £500 crore investment is another important step in preparing our youth for future challenges” – Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, Benq India and South Asia
“The drop in the basic tariffs (BCD) for some of the panels from 2.5% to 0% is a welcome move, but India has only one facility with limited ability to handle these parts. It is important to note that this change will benefit mostly the facilities and the facilities that source it from. The continued reliance on imported open cells is due to a lack of local manufacturing capacity. , it remains a critical issue.” – Arjun Bajaj is Director of VideoTex.
