ExorionAI has announced the launch of GAHNA, India’s first sovereign Small Language Model (SLM) purpose-built for cybersecurity and threat intelligence, to be unveiled on December 11, 2025 at the IIT Bombay E-Cell E-Summit. Developed entirely within India, GAHNA is designed to strengthen cyber sovereignty by operating without foreign dependencies and aligning with national regulations, including the DPDP Act and IndiaAI principles.

A key variant, GAHNA CyberMind, will act as an AI assistant for cybersecurity teams—parsing CVEs, triaging threats, suggesting remediations, and streamlining CTI workflows—while supporting local languages, infrastructure, and air-gapped deployments. Positioned as a strategic asset for startups, CERTs, financial institutions, PSUs, and defense agencies, GAHNA aims to deliver affordable, scalable, and secure AI to bolster India’s digital resilience and national security.

GeeFi is gaining strong traction in the digital asset market as its token presale accelerates rapidly. GeeFi successfully sold out its Phase 1 allocation of 10 million tokens in just over a week, raising $500,000, and has since crossed $1 million in total contributions with a community of more than 2,400 holders. Phase 2 is nearing completion, and Phase 3 is expected to launch soon amid speculation of upcoming major exchange listings.

While broader crypto markets remain volatile—illustrated by Solana experiencing price pressure despite demonstrating strong network resilience—GeeFi positions itself as a project with a fully functional ecosystem already live. Its non-custodial GeeFi Wallet, integrated DEX supporting 14+ blockchains, upcoming crypto card, and multi-tier staking options (up to 55% APR) are key differentiators.

With presale tokens priced at $0.06 in Phase 2 and a confirmed public listing price of $0.40, early participants are targeting a potential 667% ROI, fueling strong demand and urgency. Backed by real products, high-yield passive income features, and rapid presale momentum, GeeFi is being positioned by supporters as a potential breakout project in the current crypto cycle.
