Highlighting the need for an inclusive and meaningful peace, the AJP leadership criticised the failure of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in taking effective steps to bring the
ULFA
(Independent) to the negotiating table. Gogoi and Bhuyan recalled that on the very day the tripartite peace accord was signed with pro-talk factions on December 29, 2023, the Chief Minister had hailed the agreement as a 'major step' and expressed hope that it would pave the way for talks with Paresh Baruah-led ULFA (Independent).
'Yet, since then, no concrete steps have been taken by the state government to ensure a dignified political resolution of the ULFA (Independent) issue,' they noted, calling it a clear reflection of the Chief Minister's failure to follow through on his public commitments.
Live Events
The AJP also criticised the Chief Minister's silence and inaction in the wake of the recent attack. 'His indifference even after such a serious development reveals his weakness in dealing with the issue and also reflects his diminished influence and relevance before the Centre,' the statement said.
Reiterating its stand, the AJP leadership affirmed, 'We do not want the peace process in Assam to be derailed. To ensure lasting peace, a respectful political solution to the ULFA (Independent) issue is essential, and that is what we seek.'
The party underscored the importance of sustained dialogue and political sensitivity in resolving long-pending insurgency-related issues in the state, emphasizing that peace cannot be achieved through military means or neglect, but through acknowledgement, dignity, and constructive political engagement.
Proscribed militant ULFA- Independent claimed that at least three senior soldiers were killed, and 19 others were injured after the Indian Army launched a massive operation along the Indo-Myanmar border.
The Army however claimed that it had not carried out any such operation. Defence sources said, 'no inputs with Indian Army on such operation.'
ULFA (Independent) also known as the anti-talk faction of ULFA in a statement stated, 'Indian Army had launched drone attacks between Longwa in Indo -Myanmar border near Nagaland to Pangsau Pass along the international border near Arunachal Pradesh. The attack took place between 2 am to 4 am on Sunday. The outfit claimed that there was another attack later in the day on Sunday. The mobile camps of the banned outfit and RPF/PLA camps are affected severely as the Indian forces have dropped about 150 bombs in the entire area using drones made in Israel and France'.

Free GPT-5 access heats up AI rivalry: Who wins, who loses?
The past fortnight has been incredible in terms of the buzzing AI space, particularly the open source AI domain. First with the coming of Perplexity Comet, and now with the release of GPT 5, the sector is literally taking neckbreak competition to another level. OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5, its most sophisticated artificial intelligence model yet, and the best part is that it's now available for free to all ChatGPT users—albeit with some usage the first time, free-tier users can access a reasoning-capable AI model—GPT-5—unlocking advanced capabilities such as multi-step reasoning, better understanding of complex prompts, and significantly improved accuracy. When users hit their usage cap, the system seamlessly pivots to a lighter but still capable version called GPT-5 Mini. Plus-tier subscribers can enjoy elevated limits, while Pro and Team users gain unlimited access, including access to GPT-5 Pro, a version tailored for deep, intricate reasoning tasks. GenAI race gets hotter "This is a very happening space. Sam Altman sees the GPT-5 as a step toward ethical AI but warns against over-reliance. Elon Musk, on the other hand, warns of OpenAI's growing influence, citing geopolitical risks. There are other leaders who call it solid but overhyped, exposing LLM limits and pushing hybrid AI approaches," says Gopi Thangavel, Group CIO at Larsen & Toubro, commenting on the development. "This can be the way to crush the competition -- a strategy used by most. For example, Perplexity is free for India. Moreover, OpenAI has removed other models as they see GPT-5 as more stable and advanced compared to previous models. If you see, they timed it well -- giving previous lighter models as free as OSS 20b and 120b and then launched GPT-5. Besides, GPT 5 is much better than previous models in coding," says Gaurav Rawat, an AI leader with a leading financial sector company and who has experience across the auto and pharma sectors as well. Designed on the GPT 4 model, GPT-5 is able to offer better detailed and thoughtful answers by analysing intricate tasks such as science questions, coding, information synthesis, or financial analysis. It's also able to return more accurate as well as faster responses as compared to its past models. The new model has the potential to work on various data forms, including images and text, all at the same time. This primarily translates into the fact that somebody can ask the model a question, put up a picture, or even share a document. The GPT 5 can comprehend as well as respond without the need of separate tools. Such a capability wasn't there before. Free GPT5 sustainable? "This development is reflective of the competition in this space, which is huge. Other than a few, LLMs are struggling to make money. They spend a lot developing them but are unable to get it back," says Avik Sarkar, Senior Research Fellow & Visiting Faculty at Indian School of Business. "Nothing is ever truly free — when it's free, you are the product. OpenAI's decision to make GPT‑5 accessible to everyone is a smart play: offer a preview, gauge user engagement, shape future pricing, grow the customer base — and at the same time, turn up the competitive heat. It's the same psychology as letting readers preview a few Kindle pages before buying the book — just at an AI scale. This move will fortify Microsoft's ecosystem and influence. But make no mistake — GPT‑5's capabilities will reshape the competitive landscape. The real question: Which rival will be the first to reveal what they've been hiding under the hood?" comments Rajendra Deshpande, former CIO at Intelenet Global Services.
