A real hero from Kargil war. Seeing this video after a long long time and it still feels like his face is so familiar. Don't know what stuff folks like him are made of. Hope we are worthy of his sacrifice.

Still remember watching this interview in mesmerised silence. Capt. #VikramBatra, Param Vir Chakra. Right before the recapture of Pt.4875 on this day 21 years ago. India would change forever. He was only 24. 🇮🇳🔥

Not true, Sir.
The most advanced AI models needs 50/60b $, huge investments in Hyper cloud, and many years! No country apart from US/ China can arbor do it like them. People who comment loosely need to understand this

While I too love Sarvam like Nirant and friends with many people there along with the founders - picking them the winners as some commentators are asking for, will be the gravest mistake - may be even bigger than not doing anything!

I beg to disagree - poor choice for AI - proven wrong beyond any doubt whatsoever 🙏
PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal @FinMinIndia @RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah @amitmalviya

I hope the model "sanction" while not surprising, will wake us up from our slumber and put us on the "war"path to "fight" for our nation and humanity at large!

Is it too far fetched to state that foreign nationals, working at American big techs are essentially working for the US govt and they themselves will not be able to use the very models they helped create? The same models will probably be used against their country of citizenship!
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…

Weaponisation has started or was it anyway invisibly always there?

The same VCs who literally laughed at me 3-4 years ago saying: "India mein models kyoon banane hai - apps banao!"
The only jobs AI seems to be taking away at this moment in India are of - partners at VC firms 😂

If there was ever any doubt, we cannot afford to not have our own models that compete with the best - never too late!
BREAKING NEWS: Anthropic's latest model will NOT help you if it thinks your ML research/ML engineering is interesting, and/or will secretly degrade its IQ so that the average engineer won't notice. We are already seeing Anthropic's latest model's moderation filters our GPU inference research and programming 😭

Poor harness is the issue imho, be it organisational or platform. Coding worked well primarily because of this - inherent structure made it easier.

Whether it’s a paper acceptance or seeing your stuff go live, the exact things you worked super hard on for months... Never too old to feel that rush of excitement!

Google Lens was launched in 2017. Fashiate, Google lens for fashion, was done in 2014-2015. I wish we could continue on our innovation journey. What say @nikux @ihtpeed_s? The tech scene in India was far more aspirational 10 years ago!
Google Lens was so ahead of its time, sheesh

AI isn't software you buy once - it's a raw commodity we are currently renting via foreign APIs. If this continues, our AI lease bill in five years could eclipse what we spend importing crude oil or gold, trapping us in a massive digital extraction loop. indiatoday.in/india-today-in…

We have a data superpower, but we’re exporting it to train foreign systems. The only way out is building our own foundation models (and the rest of the stack) from the ground up, no shortcuts - Summary of my talk at the ICRIER/PROSUS 'State of India’s Digital Economy' conference.

Lines of Code or Number of Releases are no indicator for RoI 🤔
Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

Something to be happy about or ashamed of that we need such privileges :(
India the only non-ally on this list... "New countries to be granted access to Mythos include countries in the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance...Other nations include France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, Japan & South Korea"

Just spoke to a crazy young engineer - found him last week on Twitter. With folks like him around, India will do fine on innovation - you made my day buddy. Let's do some magic together! Not tagging him here for obvious reasons 😜

Awesome catching up today with my brother, @sachinfarfade - relived our memories from Yahoo labs days - working on papers, patents, weekend hikes in the bay area and all the associated silliness, when we used to be much younger :-)

Next generation coding assistants need to fix this. Chance for a startup to pull it off better/faster than the giants!

A person deleted 3 months of AI generated code because he could not understand it. He could not explain why it was written that way.

This was pure evil coming from a company that had "do not evil" as part of their original manifesto! They must be made to pay for this sin!
In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement. The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware. This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade. Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us. This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise. There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it. But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword. The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic. This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur. While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher. Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.
