US enterprises are experiencing a fundamental reversal in global technology talent flows as restrictive H-1B visa policies and India’s rapidly maturing tech ecosystem combine to redirect skilled professionals away from US careers, threatening American competitiveness while accelerating India’s emergence as a global innovation hub. Workforce data from LinkedIn’s Labor Market Report released this month showed India’s hiring surged 40% above pre-pandemic levels while advanced economies, including the US, saw hiring decline 23%. Companies headquartered in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Australia all increased their share of India-based hiring between 2015 and 2025. “In this climate, work is being upskilled around AI [...]
Alibaba Cloud’s latest AI model, Qwen3-Max-Thinking, is staking a claim as one of the world’s most advanced reasoning engines after posting benchmark results that delivered competitive results against leading models from Google and OpenAI. In a blog post, Alibaba said the model was trained using expanded capacity and large-scale computing resources, including reinforcement learning, which led to improvements in factual accuracy, reasoning, instruction following, alignment with human preferences, and agent-style capabilities. “On 19 established benchmarks, it demonstrates performance comparable to leading models such as GPT-5.2-Thinking, Claude-Opus-4.5, and Gemini 3 Pro,” the company said. Alibaba said it has added two key [...]
For companies looking to upgrade PCs this year, gear up: laptops will be more costly and configurations slower, analysts said. PC makers “are already signaling price increases across the board and likely memory spec downgrades, especially in entry-level devices,” said Rishi Padhi, principal analyst at Gartner. Low-cost laptops offering decent performance won’t come anytime soon, thanks to shortages in chips and memory. “With the RAM required for Windows 11 and Copilot+ now being much costlier, the price increase and scarcity in supply makes it difficult to deliver sub-$600 laptops without compromising user experience,” Padhi said. The price increase for components [...]
Microsoft wasted little time last fall after reaching a deal to finalize its new relationship with OpenAI to find a new AI dance partner — Anthropic, the second most valuable AI startup in the world. Even though the relationship between Microsoft and Anthropic is only a few months old, it appears as if Microsoft sees a future with Anthropic that’s at least as valuable as the one it had with OpenAI. Why might Anthropic become Microsoft’s most important partner? To find out, let’s take a closer look at Anthropic and what it brings to the table. Anthropic’s beginnings Anthropic was [...]
Signaling that the future of AI may not just be how many tokens an AI model generates, but how optimally it does so, Microsoft has announced Maia 200, which it described as a breakthrough inference accelerator and inference powerhouse. The AI silicon is designed for heterogeneous AI infrastructure in multiple environments, and was specifically developed for inferencing on large reasoning models. Microsoft claims it is the most performant first-party silicon from any hyperscaler today, and the most efficient inference system it has ever deployed. Microsoft’s approach differs from that of other hyperscalers, said Matt Kimball, VP and principal analyst, Moor [...]
OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 Pro does better at solving sophisticated math problems than older versions of the company’s top large language model, according to a new study by Epoch AI, a non-profit research institute. GPT-5.2 Pro solved four problems that had been too difficult for any other AI models to solve, and of the 13 problems that any other model had previously solved, it was able to solve 11, Epoch reported. This means GPT-5.2 Pro had solved 31% of Epoch AI’s challenges, a rise from the previous score best of 19%. Math problems have long proven difficult for AI. Scientists have speculated [...]
Microsoft gave Windows users’ BitLocker encryption keys for to US law enforcement officers, providing access to encrypted data, according to a news report. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation approached Microsoft with a search warrant in early 2025, seeking keys to unlock encrypted data stored on three laptops in a case of alleged fraud involving the COVID unemployment assistance program in Guam. As the keys were stored on a Microsoft server, Microsoft adhered to the legal order and handed over the encryption keys, Forbes reported on Friday. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment. There have been [...]
Outlook users have reported difficulties with Microsoft’s January Patch Tuesday updates, forcing Microsoft, once again, to patch some of its patches. Users reported that, after applying the January 13 Windows updates, some applications became unresponsive or encountered unexpected errors when opening files from or saving files to cloud-based storage such as OneDrive or Dropbox. In particular, certain Microsoft Outlook configurations with the PST file containing a users’ messages stored on OneDrive could cause Outlook to hang or lead to sent messages going missing or previously downloaded emails being re‑downloaded. In response, Microsoft has issued a bunch of out-of-band emergency updates [...]
While Apple CEO Tim Cook spent an evening at the movies, Bloomberg reported that his company intends to introduce a much-improved, Google Gemini-boosted AI in February, following this with an even bigger upgrade later this year. We’ve heard much of this before; what’s new is the timing. (The partnership envisions Google Gemini integrated within Apple’s Foundation Models.) Beta testing from February The initial beta upgrade is scheduled to ship with iOS 26.4 in the second half of February, Bloomberg said. If everything goes as expected during beta testing, the software should ship for real in March or April. The company is then expected to announce an even bigger [...]
AI assistants and more advanced agent-based tools are gaining visibility in the workplace, even as most organizations remain cautious about deploying them at scale. Analysts say that might change as the technology matures, but only if businesses address persistent challenges around security, governance, and trust. A Gallup poll in November showed that just 18% of US workers use AI tools on a weekly basis, and just 8% use AI daily, highlighting its still limited use in the workplace. A separate PwC survey of 50,000 workers globally found similar results: 14% of respondents use generative AI (genAI) daily, while 6% interact [...]
