India mandates all new smartphones be preloaded with the state-owned cybersecurity app “Sanchar Saathi” — and it cannot be uninstalled! 📱🔒
Reported Dec 1, 2025, India’s Department of Telecommunications quietly ordered smartphone makers like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo to install this app on all new devices sold in India within 90 days. Existing phones must also receive the app via software updates.
Key highlights:
⦁ Sanchar Saathi helps combat scams, cybercrime, and counterfeit or stolen devices by verifying and blocking fake or duplicate IMEI numbers.
⦁ The app has aided recovery of over 700,000 lost phones since launch in January 2025, with 50,000 recoveries just in October.
⦁ Users cannot uninstall or disable the app, raising privacy and user control concerns, especially with Apple’s usual resistance to pre-installing government apps.
⦁ The directive was taken without prior consultation with manufacturers, signaling regulatory pressure in India’s huge 1.2 billion mobile user market.

DeepSeek-V3.2 drops with game-changing Sparse Attention for efficient long-context AI—rivals GPT-5 in reasoning and agents! 🧠⚡
Released on Hugging Face Nov 2025, this open-source model (MIT license) from DeepSeek-AI builds on V3.1 with breakthroughs like DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) for near-linear complexity in long texts, plus scalable RL for top-tier performance—nailing gold in 2025 IMO/IOI olympiads and outpacing GPT-5 in high-compute variants.
Key highlights:
⦁ DSA magic: Cuts quadratic compute to O(kL), slashing long-context costs by ~50% (API at $0.07/M tokens cache-hit) while keeping quality on par with dense models—ideal for RAG, coding, and agents.
⦁ Reasoning & agents: Scalable RL framework boosts logic chains; new "thinking with tools" chat template enables structured outputs (JSON, function calls) and olympiad-level problem-solving.
⦁ Variants & access: V3.2-Speciale for deep reasoning (no tools); run locally with Transformers, temp=1.0/top_p=0.95; includes encoding scripts for OpenAI-compatible tool use.
⦁ Edge over priors: Efficiency gains (2-3x speed, 30-40% less memory) without perf loss; supports 671B params in MoE setup for creative synthesis and multi-doc tasks.
