Singapore has become one of the battlegrounds in the global war for AI talent. American giants OpenAI, Google, Meta and Anthropic are expanding their presence, while Chinese companies such as Alibaba, Huawei and ByteDance are increasingly treating the city as both a regional base and recruiting ground.

Fidelis rolls out in phases rather than switching everything on at once, and the sequence maps closely to the steps above. Phase one is the core platform and network visibility: standing up central management, wiring in initial data collection points, and getting baseline correlation rules working before anything else touches production. Fidelis Network’s sensors are built for exactly this stage: ultra-fast 20 GB 1U units that give high-density coverage at internet gateways and data center interconnects without needing a rack full of appliances to get real visibility.Phase two moves to endpoints and whatever’s already running in the stack. Fidelis Endpoint®…

Chinese artificial intelligence developer Z.ai Co. today debuted GLM-5.3, an open-source large language model that set records across several popular benchmarks. The LLM is based on an algorithm called GLM-5.2 that the company released in mid-July. The latter model features a mixture of experts architecture with 753 billion parameters and a context window of 1 million tokens. GLM-5.3 has an identical design, but went through a more extensive post-training process. Z.ai says its training optimizations delivered significant performance improvements. GLM-5.3 achieved the highest score of any open-source AI model on Terminal Bench 3.0, which measures LLMs’ command line scripting capabilities.…
This week’s technology headlines highlighted AI’s expanding reach into consumer products, scientific research, weather forecasting, journalism, robotics, and critical infrastructure. At the same time, costly mistakes, unresolved security risks, and escalating energy demands showed why rapid deployment must be matched by stronger oversight.

They recruit aggressively. They sign agreements. They run a kickoff webinar. They load a portal with sales decks and product guides. They announce the program on LinkedIn with a graphic that says “we’re better together.” And then they wait for the pipeline to…
