if you're not working with unlimited tokens like @steipete and @bcherny, you could do your loop with claude code caveman. event -> trigger->action -> eval -> feedback - event: create a "wiki" to render claude generated md files as context - trigger: click "review with claude" on a page; it drops a line in a queue file - action: claude cowork / code reads the queue and writes edits right into the page (green add, red cut, amber note) ~thanks @nbaschez for roughdraft syntax~ - evaluate: you read those marks in the wiki and judge - feedback: accept/reject decisions; reply sends it back to claude to redo

HISTORY.

Xi Jinping took charge of China in 2013. Modi of India in 2014. Maybe instead of comparing Modi with Nehru ji, it'll be a more fruitful exercise to compare his performance with that of Xi Jinping. On AI On R&D On STEM On Exports On Employment On Manufacturing On Public nutrition On Public education On Mass prosperity ... Maybe that'll help all of us much more in setting our national goals better.

Bashing Indian IT service companies for not building frontier AI is fair. But they were built for services. The real question is much sharper: Where is Tata’s Qwen? Qwen came from Alibaba — a company smaller than the listed Tata empire. Where is Ambani’s ERNIE? ( Baidu ) Where is Mahindra’s Hunyuan? Where is Adani’s Pangu? Where is L&T’s defence AI foundation model? Where is Birla’s industrial AI model? China’s established corporate giants are building frontier models. Alibaba built Qwen. Baidu built ERNIE. Tencent built Hunyuan. Huawei built Pangu. ByteDance built Doubao. iFLYTEK built Spark. So stop gaslighting people with “India lacks capital.” India does not lack capital. India does not lack engineers. India lacks a billionaire class willing to risk serious money on frontier AI. There is money for weddings, cricket, retail, ports, media, and political access. But when it comes to building India’s Qwen, suddenly everyone becomes a cautious accountant. That is the scandal.

veterans are experts in how the last war was fought, but a new battlefield needs new tactics

who’s going to play elon for indias ai movement?

and access to gpus, data, power, harness engineering, and maybe 30 more things. but yes the models are fine

how come no one articulates an actual plan vs bitching about why it won’t work or how they wouldn’t come back to india to start something?

One of the blunders India has done as a country is to declare Sarvam, which is yet to find its footing as the sovereign frontier AI response. Sarvam’s exclusive mandate is not public good - unlike UPI or other public infrastructure projects. It’s a VC funded company which is being given unfair advantage at the cost of other similar VC backed private companies which could perhaps do better with similar support and data from the govt! We are killing competition and declaring Sarvam as the best thing India could do too soon !

When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/a…

replace the word “europe” with india and this insightful post is equally applicable to it.

lol no. The answer is fairly straightforward. You poach indian talent from the big labs and pay them obscenely well and give them a blank cheque. Many countries have done this to establish local ecosystems across various industries. Solution is not to create a mission and put the very same folks who advocate not working at the model layer to lead it.

I was using Fable to improve security for my apps and when it suddenly stopped working. It's only on twitter that I found out that it has been stopped for people who are not US nationals, by the US government. Here's how I'm seeing this: 1. Fable comes with security safeguards to prevent misuse, and can be used to plug security loopholes. I've seen it identify and plug security issues in my apps. The US government refusing to let non-US nationals protect themselves is deeply problematic in an interconnected internet world, especially when these issues will impact US customers of foreign apps and websites. It doesn't make sense. This hurts everyone by making all systems vulnerable. 2. Yesterday Anthropic announced a partnership with TCS in India as a commercial deal. Today Fable is banned for Indians. During the AI summit they had announced a partnership with Infosys. The fact is that these are just commercial deals but the Indian companies have no strategic leverage here. Both companies run critical systems in India: Infosys runs finnacle. TCS runs passport sewa etc, all with critical personal data at stake. They had zero access to Project Glasswing when it launched to secure systems with Mythos, while some US companies got access. This proves that for Anthropic, Indian partnerships are just about the money. To call such partnerships strategic is hogwash. I think Anthropics leadership and policy teams in India have much to answer for. I would request @nishikant_dubey to take up this bipartisan issue up in the standing committee on IT since MEITY is quite toothless. 3. We've seen this story play out before: in President Trump's last term, the US govt momentarily stopped Android security updates for China. Today China has its own Huawei OS. Where is IndusOS? We need to adopt open source tech because geopolitics is increasingly win-lose, and the win-win era is behind us. It's sad but this is where we are today. We need to invest in research, and building a culture that supports research. The Atal Tinkering Labs are a great starting point and we need to build on this, at a university level. Allow universities to monetize research and professors and students to start companies with university support. Let professors consult. Build a marketplace that rewards innovation and expertise. 4. CERT-IN, RBI and other agencies holding meetings regarding mythos was farcical. Its proof that our cybersecurity agencies are out of their depth, and doing a checkbox exercise to show the PM that they're doing something when they can't, because this is about Zero Day vulnerabilities, not predictable cybersecurity issues. We need a cybersecurity strategy overhaul. Basically fire bureaucratic-mindset people doing farcical compliance at CERT-IN and get technocrats with actual cybersecurity understanding. Hire for competence, not loyalty. Hire for competence not badges (definitely not the clueless famous IIT professor we know who does committe hopping). 5. Time to start ignoring Nandan Nilekani's ignorant comments on what India should do in AI. We need to focus on hardware, start working on small language models and get people who know AI to drive policy. As history has shown us, Vishal Sikka was right, Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani were not. We have a long way to go. The AI Summit was great for increasing diffusion, and we need more of that, but not just that. The IndiaAI mission needs to speed up and become a mission critical project. Cc @narendramodi. Hire better people please. Choose open source. Build a long term strategy.
