Microsoft Adds DeepSeek’s R1 to Azure and GitHub Amid Rising AI Competition

Microsoft has expanded its collection of more than 1,800 models by integrating the R1 AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek into GitHub and its Azure

Microsoft has expanded its collection of more than 1,800 models by integrating the R1 AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek into GitHub and its Azure cloud platform. Tech investors were alarmed when DeepSeeks freshly released free AI helper swiftly overtook ChatGPT in App Store downloads. Microsofts action is consistent with its plan to integrate other AI models into Microsoft 365 Copilot to lessen dependency on OpenAI. To address privacy issues, users can soon run R1 locally on Copilot+ PCs. However, DeepSeeks popularity in the US can be impacted by its data storage in China. Microsoft and OpenAI are currently looking into possible illegal data use by DeepSeek. In response, Alibaba released an improved Qwen 2.5 AI model, and OpenAI hastened releases. Read More..

JanusPro, a sophisticated texttoimage model unveiled by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, performs better than Stability AIs Stable Diffusion and OpenAIs D

JanusPro, a sophisticated texttoimage model unveiled by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, performs better than Stability AIs Stable Diffusion and OpenAIs DALLE 3. With a 7billionparameter architecture and enhanced training methods, JanusPro improves image stability and detail using 72 million highquality simulated and realworld images. The models success comes after R1, DeepSeeks chatbot, rose to the top of the US App Stores free app ratings. The performance of JanusPro challenges wellknown firms like OpenAI and increases competition in AI image production. Tech markets have been affected by the revelation, as increased investor interest in upandcoming AI companies has caused stocks like Nvidia and Oracle to decline. DeepSeeks quick ascent indicates Chinas increasing impact on the global AI market. Read More..

Microsoft Confirms Widespread Windows 11, 10 Audio Bug After January Update

Microsoft has confirmed that consumers who installed the January 2025 cumulative update are impacted by a broad audio fault in Windows 11 and 10. Alth

Microsoft has confirmed that consumers who installed the January 2025 cumulative update are impacted by a broad audio fault in Windows 11 and 10. Although it can interfere with other audio configurations, the problem mainly affects USBconnected DACs digitaltoanalogue converters, especially those that use USB 1.0 audio drivers. Microsoft advises customers to connect audio devices to their PCs to avoid using external DACs, as they have not yet released a remedy. This pervasive problem affects several Windows versions, including 24H2, 23H2, 22H2, and Windows 10. Rumour has it that changes to a fundamental component of the Windows codebase cause the problem, even as Microsoft strives to find a solution. There should be a remedy in a future update.

Cybercriminals Exploit VMware ESXi SSH Tunneling for Stealthy Ransomware Deployment

Researchers at Sygnia have discovered that cybercriminals use SSH tunnelling on VMware ESXi baremetal hypervisors for secret persistence, which facili

Researchers at Sygnia have discovered that cybercriminals use SSH tunnelling on VMware ESXi baremetal hypervisors for secret persistence, which facilitates the spread of ransomware on endpoints. SSH tunnelling provides safe traffic forwarding for management access, and VMware ESXi, which is used in data centres and virtualisation, allows numerous virtual machines to run on a single server. Via known flaws or stolen administrator credentials, attackers establish persistent backdoors utilising native SSH or comparable tools. Since ESXi appliances are rarely shut down and are frequently disregarded in cybersecurity efforts, they are an appealing target. Due to ESXis distribution of logs across several files, monitoring is challenging. To identify SSH tunnelling activity, IT teams must examine four essential logs. Increased security is recommended to lessen these risks. Read More..
