I AM COMING to BENGALURU this weekend! Thanks to @_lagrangepoint for sponsoring my trip ;) i am a research engineer who works on ml inference and hw/sw codesign. p.s. take a glimpse of the stuff I was into when I was 10 years old in 2017 hi new people, let's meet!

If you're NOT in Bangalore and working on the public good on any of our favorite problem areas, come to Bangerlore We at @_lagrangepoint will help with flights and accommodation, and help you meet fellow practitioners. Just DM me! - urban quality of life / civic tech - food toxicity - deep tech talent If you know someone that fits, send them my way, and I will gift you some really nice socks

Join us this weekend!

Hiring IC level computer engineers with an interest in building large scale, dynamic scrapers that work autonomously. In person @ indiranagar, Bangalore. (IC - someone confident to the point of being the authoritative say in the team. Not bothered by age / exp)

Today at @_lagrangepoint: A friend got wind that a young founder is building rockets using solid fuel boosters She then rushes at peak hour through Bangalore traffic to visit and warn him against going down that dark path Cue rocketry gore from the last century of building rockets and "are you sure you have the safety protocol down"

session went well, was fun to whiteboard with people again after a while. thanks @itsarnavb and @_lagrangepoint for hosting us, and everyone who joined. you’re og quick summary of what we talked about: started by sketching a crude version of how we’d integrate force as a modality ourselves. image tokenised through ViT, proprio, and text encoded into a pretrained VLM, latent flowing into an action head in the same policy. also talked about action chunking on the decoder helping with inference latency and temporal coherence within a chunk, though long chunks risk drifting from the world then started picking apart the paper. the action head is actually a separate altered transformer that ingests numerical force as input and outputs (delta_p, f), directly fed into the robot’s impedance controller which converts to motor torque and makes the arm respond to feedback. different from the usual IK-based position controller logic discussed that the improvement over pi0 might have come from the model being steered to produce a force vector as output, not the MoE in the action head. paper doesn’t show with/without MoE ablations so can’t say also briefly touched on interrupts for robots. training time we feed deliberately bad demos and recover. inference time we use DAgger and add a human intervention label and retrain. model has no internal knowledge of whether data came from human intervention or general teleop some questions that branched off from our discussion: - apart from force, what other modalities of input and feedback would make action policies more aware and accurate? - slow and fast moving policies and how they get baked together at high frequency of operation? - flow inpainting as an inference time optimisation for cloud based vlas? (under explored)

it was great to host an incredible group of folks at the @AltCarbonIndia office, brought together by their curiosity and shared interest in frontier science advancement. what better place to do it than @iiscbangalore-- an institution built by JN Tata, a man who believed that India's most urgent need wasn't more capital — it was more science. pleasure to host friends from @ARIA_research @lossfunk @_lagrangepoint @AccelIndia @karya_inc check out ARIA's call for program directors here: aria.org.uk/about-aria/our-t… also check out the new AI Scientist Conference that @paraschopra spoke about at the event: caisc2026.github.io/ for those asking, here's the reading list we started the evening with: notion.so/ARIA-x-Alt-Carbon-…

HEY! I'm hosting a panel on accelerating deep tech and manufacturing in India 🇮🇳 at IISc This Tuesday I'm at @AltCarbonIndia HQ alongside @ARIA_research ARIA is the UK government agency that enables high-risk research and moonshot projects. They're on a mission in India to support and invest in the frontier. If that's you, DM me! Looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces! Many thanks to team Alt Carbon! @adadithya @ananyabananyaa @SparshAgarwall

Karan has done some incredible work on uncovering the scale of DNS censorship in India!

If you enjoy obsessively figuring out how protocols, APIs, and machines work under the hood, DM me with your past work You'll work alongside some *excellent* collaborators at @_lagrangepoint over a retreat

Aspera Industries was born from a frustration and a single lingering question: why are airplanes not built in India? 🧵 Grateful to @RahulSanghi1 and @AaryamanVir for helping me bring a voice to this mission. Link to the full piece below!

Lagrange Point stands for the discovery of great talent in India Introducing @quest_sh by Lagrangians @shruthibadri and @itsarnavb

Hey! We're meeting Sunday (tomorrow) at 3 PM to talk about education and alternate career paths over coffee and croissants Looking to talk to high school and college students (and drop outs!) If that's your thing, please reply or DM me, @khushhhi_ or @shruthibadri!

I’m launching a project with @shruthibadri We’re addressing issues deeply personal to us: education, early career paths, technical talent, and neurodiversity in India 🇮🇳 Hosting an event in Bangalore this Sunday. We’re looking to talk to students thinking about questions of career, and show what we’re building DMs open! 💌

Looking for folks with Parkinson's or other motor disabilities to test and iterate on clothing adaptations I designed! Intend to make it possible to dress again with dignity. Please DM/share with anyone who might benefit from this! Protos are ready, just need more feedback.

Cool project from @matreja @pasricha_sehaj and others at @_lagrangepoint: - Get hyperlocal AQI data - Analyze if AQI is correlated with home prices

AQI has been a pressing issue in India but we only seemed to obssess over it after @bryan_johnson walked out of the podcast with @nikhilkamathcio @Nithin0dha talked about how AQI should be corelated to factors like real estate prices. We at @_lagrangepoint wanted to verify this.

Members of @_lagrangepoint are looking for a 2/3 room flat in Koramangala. I appreciate leads for high quality landlords You will be hosting young folks who are dedicating themselves to an independent pursuit of science, tech and civic issues You will not find finer tenants.

We're starting to release talks at Turing's Dream online! Rithvik @rithvikvibhut, Arnav @itsarnavb and Rithwik @thel3l "hacked" Airpods using a Faraday cage to unlock geo-locked hearing aids capability (it worked in US, but not in India). Watch 10 min talk on Youtube 👇
