Birmingham is gearing up for India 🇮🇳vs Pakistan 🇵🇰 #WomensWorldCup

Good early gains for India's DLI scheme with • 16 chip tape-outs • 6 ASICs fabricated • 140 semiconductor IP cores • 10 patents • 24 design projects sanctioned across surveillance, energy meters, drones, satellites, broadband & IoT SoCs. DLI scheme is designed to build a domestic semiconductor design ecosystem by incentivising •Chip / SoC / IP design •Validation and prototyping •Commercialisation and market deployment With fabless design driving >50% of global semiconductor value, it is important we bet beyond fabs/OAST etc but also IP, talent and tape-outs. DLI 2.0 hopefully accelerates domestic semiconductor design ecosystem further. via @businessline

Open challenge, Sir… We can do it in $2 billion within three years… Please don’t give us US figures…. Photonic chips today give us 10 times better processing at 1/100 the power a H-200 consumes. The foundational model needs talent which can be managed to be brought together… In fact, I expected you to announce a “Pai LLM Prize” of $250 million to the first team which creates a foundational model…. Announce competitions which can assist India take the West denial head on… Create the entropy that will yield benefits which a demographic dividend India could gain from !!!

This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America. First thoughts: 1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology. 2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead. We must keep these two ideas in mind. What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you? We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100 billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses. Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there. Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

America is doing what Dr Abdul Kalam wanted the Indian govt to do in 1998. After pokharan II blast US-West sanctioned India. Kalam told me (which I have recorded many times) to persuade PM Vajpayee (who I was close to) to ensure the sanctions continue for our tech to develop

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
