We trained a new flood forecasting model designed to predict flash floods in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance.
To help address a flash floods data gap, we created Groundsource: a new AI methodology using Gemini to identify 2.6M+ historical events across 150+ countries.
We’re open-sourcing this dataset to advance global research, and urban flash flood forecasts are live now in Flood Hub to help communities stay safe.

-from a 2024 interview
The WSO2, one of the largest software firms in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by EQT Partners, one of the largest private equity firms in the world.
⭕ The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but according to @TechCrunch, the deal values WSO2 at "more than" $600 million. And EQT will own 100% of the company.
⭕ WSO2 was founded in 2005 by co-founders Sanjiva Weerawarana and Paul Fremantle and became a $100 million ARR (annual recurring revenue) company by 2024.
⭕ The acquisition is a dream exit for the early investors and the people who worked so hard in the last two decades to make the company what WSO2 is today. (Nearly 30% of the total proceeds are going to current and former employees of the company.)
Congratulations to @sanjiva and the WSO2 team & all the best for version 2 of @WSO2 as you aim to go beyond Asia and become a global powerhouse.! 👏👏
Last year I compared famous image generation models DALL·E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion using different prompts. You can get an idea about those 3 models and capabilities from this article I wrote.

I’ve interviewed 120 legendary investors, founders and executives on my podcast.
Collectively, they have created over $1 trillion of value for the world.
Here are the best 20 lessons they have shared with me:
On retrouve maintenant un peu de concurrence, d’un côté des acteurs « privés » avec des services en ligne (#dalle2, #Midjourney) de l’autre côté des acteurs « ouverts » comme #StableDiffusion
