Happy New Year, everyone! If you thought 2025 was wild for artificial intelligence, the first week of 2026 just looked at the calendar and said, “Hold my beer.” We are only seven days into the year, and we’ve already seen enough major announcements to fill a whole quarter. CES 2026 in Las Vegas has been an absolute whirlwind, and combined with some massive regulatory shifts and research breakthroughs, it’s clear that this year isn’t going to be about incremental updates. We’re talking fundamental shifts in how AI is built, deployed, and governed. ...

Key Highlights DeepSeek’s V3.2 AI model achieves comparable results to OpenAI’s GPT-5 with fewer training FLOPs The model uses DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), reducing computational complexity while preserving performance The open-source availability of DeepSeek V3.2 enables enterprises to evaluate advanced reasoning and agentic capabilities without vendor dependencies The AI industry has long been driven by the notion that achieving frontier AI performance requires greatly scaling computational resources. However, DeepSeek’s latest breakthrough challenges this assumption, demonstrating that working smarter, not harder, can yield comparable results. By developing innovative architectures like DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), the company has managed to reduce computational complexity while preserving model performance. ...
