India unveils first made-in-country chips at major summit

India unveils first made-in-country chips at major summit

India achieved a landmark moment at Semicon India 2025 as Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced 13 major semiconductor initiatives, marking the country’s transition from policy approvals to tangible chip production. The three-day conference showcased India’s ambition to become a global semiconductor powerhouse through strategic partnerships and substantial investment commitments.

The highlight of the event came when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was presented with the first set of Made-in-India chips from a pilot line, symbolizing the fruition of the India Semiconductor Mission launched in December 2021. Vaishnaw described this achievement as “a moment of pride,” crediting the Prime Minister’s vision for transforming India from a chip consumer to a manufacturer in just three and a half years.

Qwen 2.5 – Alibaba’s GenAI model

DeepSeek’s rapid success has not only rattled global AI players but also ignited a fierce battle at home.

The artificial intelligence race just got fiercer. Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has entered the fray with its latest AI model, Qwen 2.5-Max, setting the stage for an intense showdown against domestic rival DeepSeek and global heavyweights OpenAI and Meta. 

Alibaba’s surprise announcement on the first day of the Lunar New Year signals the urgency to counter DeepSeek’s meteoric rise. Over the past three weeks, DeepSeek’s AI breakthroughs have shaken Silicon Valley, causing a dip in tech stocks. The release of DeepSeek’s AI assistant on January 10, followed by its R1 model on January 20, forced competitors to scramble. 

Founded just 20 months ago in Alibaba’s home city of Hangzhou, DeepSeek has upended the industry with its low-cost, high-performance AI models. The pressure is now on established players like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu to accelerate their AI advancements to stay in the game.

However, cracks are appearing in DeepSeek’s rapid ascent. A recent audit by NewsGuard found DeepSeek’s chatbot lagging behind its Western competitors in accuracy and reliability.

Ranked tenth out of eleven AI models tested, DeepSeek’s chatbot managed only 17% accuracy in delivering news and information. It repeated false claims 30% of the time and gave vague or unhelpful answers 53% of the time, resulting in an 83% fail rate. The report raises questions about DeepSeek’s readiness to compete with established AI leaders like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
