After 16 years in London, I’ve moved back to the city I’ve always called home: Bangalore. More excited than ever to build from India, for the world. Would love to connect with folks building in AI, software or hardware.

The only opinion I have on India training it's own models: if you're doing something ambitious, at least a few people should say don't do it.

While this announcement by Anthropic is consequential, I don’t think the right call is: “let’s build a model” for every startup. There’s always a way to win against well funded incumbents but you need a good reason to do it, and a clear right to win.

Access to GPUs and CPUs are the most basic primitive if we want to build sovereign AI. If I want reliable supply based out of India, who do I go with?

Ran my first race in Bangalore today. 4th place (10km, 44:15). Very happy given minimal training. Big shout out to @krishnabgowda and his team. Incredible event organised for lakes and green spaces in the city. Check out Jakkur Lake’s running track when you can.

Fable being restricted by the US govt is as consequential as any model launch.

So true. Took a few iterations to get here, but a framework that helps: - make it accessible - log all the gates that require your approval - remove them - never sacrifice on quality
Everyone thinks AI coding tools set founders free. Watch what people actually build with them: rules, approvals, process, layers. The same cage, assembled faster. The tool that can scaffold anything in an afternoon will scaffold your bureaucracy in an afternoon too. Speed of construction is speed of calcification. Build the thing that lets you create new things: experiences that didn’t happen before.

I don't think the old method of receive a bug report, review logic and fix works for truly agentic system. Or better put, it's not ambitious enough. Your system should be proactive and get ahead of anything that is a poor experience.

Outside of X, most users are unaware about how far AI can go to solve a problem for them. You need to take them through the journey.

If you're tired of reading markdown, and prefer HTML, this is an incredible way to get the page live on your browser. Much easier to refresh and view changes when Claude Code / Codex make edits.

If you want to get your work live and share it with someone, try this: onpin.live You don’t have to leave your CLI, the desktop app or mobile
Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML. But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc? We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work. We call it Quick 👇🧵

Running this on Sunday. I'll run anytime for a greener Bangalore and more lakes.

I’m less interested in Fable’s ability to one shot apps, and more interested in the % of bugs & edge cases that remain once it’s done.

Measuring the amount of time you spend reviewing AI output is a decent measure of how AI pilled you are. Like everything else, do it yourself to figure out how / if you can automate yourself out of it. Now you have a loop.

Hear me out for a sec, you think @AnthropicAI is going to raise $65 billion, and have only 1 person staffed on marketing?

We want to make it super simple for Shopify merchants to integrate @with_ako. To get oauth working, you need to run all billing via the @Shopify platform. Without it, the integration is painful for merchants. Would you consider removing the billing requirement @tobi @harleyf?

If you want to truly serve agents and not humans: price for volume, let them sign up and provide clear documentation I haven't had a single experience that ticks all boxes

AI agents may not truly scale until browser use improves. Businesses are concerned about giving agents free access to systems, as they should be Relying on the vendor to have a fine grained, sensible API, MCP or CLI is a losing proposition
