GitHub ♥️ India / Microsoft ♥️ OpenAI India has officially dethroned the United States to become the world's largest base of open-source contributors. The country has always been one of GitHub's enduring favourites over the years, driven by its increasing contributions to open source AI. And also, Microsoft and OpenAI have a new deal. by Mohit Pandey |

In 2020, India's open-source community was rising. In 2025, it is setting the pace. According to GitHub's Octoverse 2025 report, India added more than 5.2 million new developers this year alone, accounting for over 14% of the platform's 36 million new global additions. The country now leads the world in total contributors to public repositories, marking a significant milestone in how India codes, collaborates and creates software for the world. The growth has been nothing short of explosive. India's contributor count has quadrupled since 2020, reflecting how deeply software development has penetrated the country's digital economy. While India now leads in contributor numbers, the United States still maintains a higher contribution volume per developer. Brazil, Indonesia and Germany follow India's trajectory, showing how open source is decentralising from traditional Western hubs to emerging digital economies. To match this momentum, GitHub unveiled Agent HQ at its annual GitHub Universe 2025 event. The platform brings multiple AI agents from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google into a single workspace under the GitHub Copilot subscription. |

Adding to the shifts in global coding, TypeScript overtook Python this year as the most used language on GitHub, recording over 2.6 million monthly contributors. GitHub projects that by 2030, India will have over 57 million developers—one in every three new developers globally. This surge is being fuelled by accessible internet, affordable laptops and a new generation of coders who see open-source work as a career foundation rather than a side project. AI tools have become a crucial part of this rise. The report revealed that 80% of new developers in India now use GitHub Copilot in their first week. From Copilot to Copilot agents and student coders to full-stack developers, India isn't just participating in open source anymore. It's leading it.

|
Microsoft just dropped $135 billion on OpenAI. At this point, the two companies are basically in a long-term relationship with a new set of boundaries. Microsoft and OpenAI signed a new deal that redefines their partnership, gives them more breathing room and locks in Microsoft's $135 billion stake in OpenAI's shiny new public benefit corporation. That's about 27% ownership—down from 32.5%. Under the updated terms, Microsoft remains OpenAI's "exclusive frontier model partner". This means that anything big or brainy from OpenAI will still run on Azure. But this time, there's a twist: OpenAI's future declaration of artificial general intelligence (AGI) won't just be Sam Altman saying, "We did it!" An independent panel of experts will have to officially confirm it. Microsoft's IP rights now stretch through 2032, even covering post-AGI models—as long as they don't, you know, blow up the internet. Research IP will expire once AGI is confirmed or by 2030, whichever comes first. And before you ask, no, Microsoft doesn't get access to model weights or hardware secrets. Basically, Microsoft isn't getting the recipe for GPT anytime soon. OpenAI also gains some freedom to collaborate with other companies. API-based products will stay on Azure, but non-API ones can party on any cloud. Microsoft, for its part, can build its own AGI if it wants, as long as it plays nice and respects some compute limits. In the fine print, OpenAI will buy $250 billion worth of Azure services, but Microsoft loses its right to always be the first choice for compute. So, they're still exclusive—just not that exclusive.

Hyderabad vs Bengaluru for GCCs Bengaluru's long reign as India's GCC capital is facing a fresh wave of challengers. Hyderabad has emerged as the country's new greenfield GCC hotspot, and Tier-2 cities aren't far behind. by Mohit Pandey |

OpenAI has officially launched Atlas, a browser that embeds ChatGPT right into your browsing window, so you can ask, write, summarise or even automate tasks without ever switching tabs. Atlas is now live for macOS users across the Free, Plus, Pro and Go tiers, with beta access rolling out for Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. Versions for Windows, iOS, and Android are already on the horizon. The browser's key pitch is simple, but brilliant: ChatGPT goes wherever you go online. During the demo, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, summed it up, "It's smooth, it's quick and it's very nice to use." Social media, of course, had its say. Many users attribute these traits to Google's Chromium.
"Something's bugging me about Atlas—it's clearly Chromium-based (you can tell from the user agent and UI), but I can't find any credit to Chromium anywhere. No license info, no acknowledgements," a user said on Hacker News. "Sam realises that his team just made Chrome with ChatGPT as the home tab." Meanwhile, right around this launch, OpenAI wrote on X that Meta changed its policies so that 1-800-ChatGPT won't work on WhatsApp after January 15, 2026. "Luckily, we have an app, website and browser you can use instead to access ChatGPT," OpenAI added in a not-so-subtle flex.

Click here to know more. The timing of ChatGPT's Atlas release couldn't have been more intriguing. Recently, Perplexity unveiled Comet, its AI-first browser designed to automate web workflows. Microsoft's Edge leans deeper into its Copilot Mode. Meanwhile, Google's Chrome has Gemini-powered conversational search, Brave has Leo, Opera has Neon and, now, OpenAI has Atlas. "Just woke up. Did I miss anything?" Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, sarcastically said on X. In response, users dismissed any cause for concern, noting that it was just another browser in the market. But Atlas isn't just another search bar upgrade. For power users, an Agent Mode lets ChatGPT handle multi-step tasks like research, analysis or scheduling. It's an early glimpse at what OpenAI calls "autonomous agents". Yes, it's all built on top of Google's Chromium, which feels almost poetic. The company that kickstarted the AI boom with ChatGPT, itself built on Google's Transformer architecture, is now wrapping its biggest rival's codebase to take on its core product. This ironically pushed Google to play catch-up with Gemini. Three years later, OpenAI is doing it again. This time, however, not with a chatbot, but with the browser itself. AI NEWS >> |
