India's Sarvam AI Releases Open-Weight 30B and 105B Reasoning Models

Sarvam AI has open-sourced two powerful reasoning models — Sarvam 30B and Sarvam 105B — trained from scratch with all data, model research, and inference optimization done in-house. The models 'punch above their weight' in global benchmarks while excelling in Indian languages. The 30B model uses classic Grouped Query Attention (GQA) while the 105B uses a different architecture approach.

Claude Opus 4.6 Finds 22 Security Vulnerabilities in Firefox in Two Weeks

Anthropic partnered with Mozilla to test Claude's ability to find security vulnerabilities in Firefox's source code. Opus 4.6 scanned nearly 6,000 C++ files, submitted 112 reports, and confirmed 22 vulnerabilities — 14 rated high-severity by Mozilla, representing roughly one-fifth of all high-severity Firefox bugs remediated in 2025. This demonstrates a major breakthrough in AI-assisted security auditing.
