@MorganBarrettX I'm solving exactly this! you should be able to meet people with zero effort despite being busy while you live life! meeting for 15m while running, or at the gym or when grabbing coffee.

#MYMODISTORY

When I look back on my journey in chess, certain memories stand out — not just from the board, but from life itself. One of those moments came from Gujarat. Years ago, when I played in Ahmedabad during the National Championship, I had a simple ritual: treating myself to a Gujarati Thali. It was something I cherished, a small joy outside the game. I never imagined that one day, this little detail of my life would be remembered and celebrated by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji.

I still recall the moment when, in the middle of a casual conversation, I happened to mention my fondness for Gujarati Thalis to Narendra Modi ji. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, “Oh, okay, then let’s go.” Without any formality, he took me to the State Guest House, where we sat down and enjoyed a delicious Gujarati Thali together. He even added warmly, “I want to give you the best Thali you can remember.” For me, it was a humbling and unforgettable gesture—a reminder that true leaders connect with you not just through grand visions, but through such small moments.

What has always inspired me is the balance he brings. On one hand, he is efficient, disciplined, and deeply professional, with his entire team working like clockwork. On the other hand, he is approachable, warm, and often light-hearted—someone who can crack a joke and make you feel at ease. That rare blend of vision and humanity is what makes him truly remarkable.

I also saw his innovative spirit in the world of chess itself. It was Prime Minister Modi ji who suggested that the Chess Olympiad, though separate from the Olympics, should also have its own torch relay. It was a revolutionary idea, and for the very first time, a torch ceremony was introduced to the Chess Olympiad. Today, it has become a proud tradition in our sport, one that the entire world embraces. Soon, chess leaders from across the globe gathered in Delhi for the handover ceremony, a legacy born out of his vision.

For me, @NarendraModi ji is not just a leader of India, but someone who inspires with both heart and mind. Whether through a simple Gujarati meal or a global chess tradition, he leaves behind lessons of humility, innovation, and warmth.

@HemanthBharatha even if you can make the argument that this is standard in many countries (https://t.co/OVZqzzT0Ig), that's for Olympic medalists and India does take everything to the extreme.

The great Indian political prize trick is to occupy discourse, favorably or otherwise, with meaningless personal actions in the $1-100K range.

Ten lakh is $11,736 or 1.16 × 10⁻⁵ % of Bihar’s SGDP or 2.1 × 10⁻⁶ % of Union budget outlay or 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ % of state budget.

@CallMeAtreus likewise, maybe meetup in the EU/stateside if you're there this summer?

The word "awesome" has lost meaning with overuse. But >24h in, still truly awestruck - strange, surreal, eerie and totally worth the 6h drive back.

From slightly underwhelmed at 99% to mindblown at 100% - quite literally day and night! Unforgettable! #Eclipse2024 #totality

Very excited to release our Model Hub https://t.co/R9uT6ZL1cw 😍 - a collection of LLM endpoints with live runtime benchmarks all plotted across time ��

We currently have 21 models provided by: @anyscalecompute, @perplexity_ai, @replicate, @togethercompute, @octoml, @MistralAI and @OpenAI, with many more on the roadmap.

We test across different regions (Asia, US, Europe), with varied concurrency and sequence length. By plotting across time, our dashboard highlights the stability and variability of the different endpoints, and their ongoing evolution across API updates and system changes. Our benchmarking code is open source: https://t.co/USvGcNt5br

Following the great work from @withmartian last week, we mention several new findings in the thread below, focusing on llama-2-70b-chat and mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1 ⬇️

Our unified API also makes it very easy to test and deploy these different endpoints in production, without needing to create several accounts 🔑

Our Hub is a work in progress, and we will be releasing new features every week 🚀

We are granting everyone $5 starting credits with a free top up of $2.50 every week, compatible with all major LLM providers (more coming soon!).

You can sign up here https://t.co/nVYkpvck4W. Please tell us what you think, and we’ll quickly incorporate feedback into the next weekly release! 😊

As always - let’s unify AI! 🟢💪

[Aparajith Raghuvir @Aparajith21]

fun times hacking away over the holidays and Jan, it's been a blast! Please do play around with the model hub (and hopefully not identify more bugs to prematurely age me)

[Daniel Lenton @DanielLenton1]

Really excited to release our Model Hub😍, more details below⬇️

So proud of our team for getting this over the line 💪, special shoutout to @GSBrread for leading this project alongside @rishabtwi, @kreemmorsy, @Aparajith21, @atom_albert and Shyngys ✨

Happy Tuesday everyone! ✌️

[Aparajith Raghuvir @Aparajith21]

@GSBrread Wow where this?!
