Microsoft offers voluntary exit to 60,000 employees: How will Indians be affected?

Microsoft has announced buyouts for 60,000 employees, nearly 27 per cent of its global workforce, across the US, UK, Canada, and India. The tech giant, which employs approximately 23,000 people in Hyderabad, has not revealed how many of its Indian staff will be hit After offering voluntary exit packages in April, Microsoft is once again offering employees a voluntary exit offer. Microsoft’s Chief People Officer Amy Coleman sent a memo on Monday (October 26), noting, “The Voluntary Exit Offer (VEO) reflects an important part of how we’re evolving our approach to change: creating greater flexibility and, where possible, more ways for employees to shape their next chapter.” The voluntary exit is being offered to a whopping 60,000 employees across the US, UK, Canada, and India as part of the company’s latest strategy for cost-cutting and reshaping its workforce for the AI era. But what is…

Cohere says Alibaba’s Qwen model tried to send a file to Beijing in a test

An Alibaba Qwen model tried to upload a file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing during a security test, Cohere says. Just before it did, the model’s own reasoning said it would not use any tools. The Canadian AI company published the findings on Monday in a blog post. Cohere’s sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded, the company said. Cohere ran Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, Alibaba’s August preview of its Qwen4 architecture, through a Microsoft benchmark for AI agents that do a security analyst’s job. The task was to write a rule that detects malicious file downloads. Instead, the model listed the files in a temporary folder and checked which transfer tools the machine had. It read the DNS settings. Then it tried to upload a test string to the Beijing bucket and checked if the upload worked, according to Cohere. “Our sandbox had no route out, so the…

Three.js WebGPU Grass Wind: One Field, 54 Desktop Trials

48 / One wind field, measured 54 desktop trials of shared TSL wind, 100k–1M grass blades, Houdini wind masks and chunk recycling in Three.js WebGPU and WebGL2. By Alicia · 27 October 2026 Codex built the fixture and ran 54 trials, 12,960 measured animation frames and 1,620 GPU query samples on my RTX 5070 Ti workstation. The experiment also checks root pinning, world-space wind continuity, chunk bounds, shadow behavior and native Houdini wind masks. It is a separate research scene for Digital Garden, not an optimization already deployed to the live garden. The camera sees the entire resident patch in the count sweep. A nominal count is rounded up evenly across cells, so 100k means 100,008 actual blades. All four count configurations report 39 renderer draw calls, including plants, ground and the output pass. One million blades submit about eight million triangles; this is a deliberately…

As the US and China form AI blocs, countries are increasingly torn between them

By CHAN HO-HIM and DIDI TANG As the rivalry intensifies, experts say the window for countries to be able to choose freely between the two AI superpowers may be narrowing, forcing them to at one point pick between the U.S.-led Pax Silica and the China-inspired World AI Cooperation Organization. That could put many countries in a dilemma: Do they go with the U.S.’s most advanced chips and AI technologies, or join China’s more affordable, open-source AI systems? Kazakhstan, a Central Asian nation of about 21 million people, is a rare example of a country that has sought to bridge that gap. Just three weeks after its AI minister Zhaslan Madiyev visited Washington in June to join the U.S. group working to strengthen AI supply chains, he headed to Shanghai for a signing ceremony making the Central Asian country a founding member of China’s initiative to shape the global AI agenda. Being in…
