@shagun_mm What do you think can be done to solve this problem?

[Ayush Jha @ayushjhx]

We’ve been accepted into Canopy by Founders Inc @fdotinc Huge thanks to the team for the belief in us! @adriannalakatos

What started as a hackathon project with Gemini is now evolving into a full-fledged startup building the network stack for Physical AI.

Grateful to the AI Futures Fund team for the opportunity through the Devpost Gemini hackathon.

We’re now excited to be in person in SF at Canopy and see where this goes as we scale new heights!

Starting in August, I’m joining @CapitalOne as an APM working on generative AI for software development.

I’ll be sharing what I learn—building with LLMs, real-world challenges, and how AI is changing how we code.

If you’re in the space or just getting started, DMs are open.

@Nithin0dha Well said, this is crucial to have a efficient market that’s able to allocate capital where it’s able to add the most value

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

The launch of grok4 by @xai seems to indicate the technical moat for model development seems to be getting shallower at every new release cycle

Crazy to see which names ended up surviving.

Also interesting to see how the companies and their logos have changed.

🧵1/ When people think of @CarnegieMellon, they usually think of AI and robotics.

But little do they know it is also home to the world's first entirely student built semiconductor fab, the CMU @TheHackerFab

The goal is to not just make chips as a cute student project…but to democratize the a multi-billion dollar industry that powers every device you own

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

This was Silicon Valley in the ’80s.
Hundreds of logos.
Most forgotten. A few became legends.

AI feels the same right now.
The next map is being drawn.
Whose name will still be on it in 2045?

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

Everything moving at light speed with ai

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

Big Tech used to just own the software.
Now they’re owning the stack.

• 2021 → $152B
• 2025 → $365B

That’s not just cloud spend.
It’s physical infrastructure.

AI isn’t just an application layer anymore.
It’s becoming the platform—and they’re building the rails.

Crazy that despite how accessible information is in this day and age, and how perfect markets seem, it’s possible for something like this to just slip under the radar for so long. For context ₹36,500 crores is almost $4 Billion

[Kirubakaran Rajendran @kirubaakaran]

What if I told you that Jane Street made ₹36,500 crores from Indian markets in just 2 years, and ₹4,800 crores of that was allegedly through market manipulation? They turned India's stock market into their personal ATM using a strategy so clever. Here's the complete details 🧵

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

Too many teams are still treating AI as a feature.
But 80% of AI-native companies are already deploying agentic workflows.
High-growth teams? 37% of their engineers are focused on AI.

If you’re not adapting, you’re already behind.

YC’s call for W25 is live
What’s interesting is how programs like @iCladAI are aligning with the kinds of problems YC increasingly talks about:
– Intelligent systems infra
– Safe deployment
– Long-term AI leverage
Curious to see this evolving

Donald Knuth pays $2.56 to anyone who finds an error in his work.
Not for the money—for the culture.
A reward for making things more correct.
At YC’s AI Startup School, speakers like @karpathy, @sama @fchollet reminded us:
In AI, correctness compounds.
We need more Knuth energy.

[Saaketh Chennaiahgari @CSaaketh]

This is what happened when the Internet started unlocking value.
Now look at AI.
Same curve. Faster. Backed by real GDP data — and insights from YC AI Startup School (thanks to @sama, @karpathy, @AndrewYNg, @fchollet, @harjtaggar).
If you missed the Internet, don’t miss AI. 👇

@AnhPhuNguyen1 Is that @shagun_mm making an appearance?
