India doesn't have OpenAI.
India doesn't have Anthropic.
India doesn't have DeepMind.
Anthropic restricted access to Fable 5 and Mythos. It's the US which now has the power and intelligence both along with Indians working for them.
Wars aren't just fought with nuclear weapons. It's high time India starts thinking about this and invest heavily on building it's own frontier AI labs !
Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere.
GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans.

As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks.
API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License.
The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.
It is disheartening to watch India’s IT veterans fumble AI this badly.
They had the capital. They had the head start. They had every reason to see this coming.
And even now, they are out here explaining why India should not build frontier models.
Man, this just hurts.
Today, I am not gonna sleep peacefully.
The gap between two civilisations will accelerate to unimaginable levels if one has access to super intelligence and the other doesn’t.
As a nation, why can’t we buy 200,000 chips like tomorrow and start training.
@AnthropicAI Everyone loves to bash China for stealing technology, yet, China is currently the unchallenged number 1 open source contributor in the world.
On the other hand, Anthropic has stolen humanity's collective resources to train their models and is now truly gatekeeping intelligence.
Every few months, India falls in love with a new sector.
Semiconductors are the future. Then green hydrogen. Then drones. Then electric vehicles.
- Policy announcements with billion-dollar incentives.
- States competing for factories.
- Television debates buzzing with the word “ecosystem”.
But industrial success is not a reality show where governments pick winners and wait for applause.
Industrial policy works best when governments look beyond the excitement of emerging sectors and:
- start obsessing over the plumbing underneath them
- start focussing on building durable national capability

Between January 2025 and June 2026, Pakistan placed six Earth-observation satellites in orbit.
For a space programme that managed nine launches in its first six decades, a former ISRO official has compared the new pace to a man with a walking disability outrunning Usain Bolt.
The satellites are one layer of a machine Pakistan has rebuilt in the 12 months since Operation Sindoor.
In August 2025 it stood up the Army Rocket Force Command, consolidating its conventional missiles under one operational authority.
In November the constitution was amended to create the post of Chief of Defence Forces, occupied since December by Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Brigadier Anil Raman of Takshashila has called this architecture by its right name. In contemporary South Asian crises, he writes, velocity counts for more than military power.
Crises are settled politically in their opening hours — once Washington signals nuclear risk, the space for military action closes.
That is why India keeps winning the fight and losing the crisis.
India is the stronger power by a wide margin, but its decision-making is slow. Authorising the Sindoor strikes took nearly two weeks, and Pakistan spent that fortnight selling Washington its version.
The remedy was on the table in 2021, when General Bipin Rawat proposed an Integrated Rocket Force.
Five years on, it remains a proposal — while one of India's nuclear-armed adversaries has built its complete sensor-decision-shooter chain in 16 months.

Statement by UAE based IOS Marine that operates MT Settebello, the vessel that was hit by US
"We unequivocally hold US Navy responsible"
"Its a human tragedy that resulted in loss of lives"
"Innocent lives have been lost"
"No affiliation with Iran or Iranian Oil"
India has effectively frozen approvals for Elon Musk’s space-based internet service Starlink to begin commercial operations, citing concerns over the use of its satellite terminals in the Iran war, according to people familiar. https://t.co/M869jbumJs
"Reports that Starlink terminals were in use during the Middle East conflict despite the service not being licensed in Iran have heightened fears in New Delhi about its ability to control a US-based operator during geopolitical tensions"
In Ukraine today, neither tanks nor artillery operate within 35 kilometres of the front line. Infantry is hunted by surveillance drones and finished off by attack drones in minutes.
Combined arms warfare, which used to mean infantry, armour, artillery and air working in concert, is now twelve soldiers riding three or four golf carts with drones overhead.
The economics have flipped too.
For every dollar Iran spends making a Shahed drone, the West spends 28 dollars to shoot it down. With the Patriot specifically, the ratio is 1:114. The defender now loses money on every successful kill.
Cheap attritable swarms are outperforming exquisite weapons.
This is the warfare India's new Chief of Defence Staff, General NS Raja Subramani, has walked into.
China can surge 10,000 cruise missiles a month from robotics-enabled munition factories.
Its shipbuilding capacity is 200 times that of the United States. Six to eight Chinese Navy warships are deployed in the Indian Ocean at any given time. India is on the Rocket Force's targeting charts.
Seven years after the CDS post was created, Theatre Commands are still on paper. The DRDO-PSU complex absorbs 77% of defence procurement. Weapons are still bought on the L-1 principle, where the lowest bidder wins.
American start-up Anduril, by contrast, beat Boeing, Lockheed and Northrop Grumman to build an autonomous fighter in 568 days. Palantir is now worth more than Boeing.
Lt Gen Raj Shukla in @SwarajyaMag with the deepest audit yet of the CDS institution and the non-negotiable list for General Subramani. Transformation through tinkering, he warns, will not do.
Below is the long-read by @Gen_RajShukla.

#Opinion:
As #India’s biggest defense procurement plan in history, the landmark deal to purchase 114 Rafale jets from #France for 3.25 trillion rupees ($33.9 billion) lays bare New Delhi’s strategic calculus amid intensifying major-power competition and its anxieties over achieving indigenous defense self-reliance.
