@waitin4agi_ I slightly disagree, I think the issue is cultural too. India is the third largest largest consumer of AI. Yet smaller local demand clusters and economies from Europe with stricter regulations have created valuable global AI companies like Elevenlabs, DeepMind, Lovable, Mistral.
@mehuljindal18 Neuroplasticity > domain knowledge. Years of experience often means years of shallow exposure without real ownership. Over-indexing on pedigree instead of agency is why many Indian startups end up mediocre. Not a single Indian company in world's 50 most valuable private companies
Appena atterrato a Roma, ho avuto l'opportunità di incontrare il Primo Ministro Meloni a cena, seguita da una visita all'iconico Colosseo. Abbiamo scambiato opinioni su una vasta gamma di argomenti. Attendo con interesse i nostri colloqui di oggi, durante i quali proseguiremo la conversazione su come rafforzare l'amicizia tra India e Italia.
@GiorgiaMeloni
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
Ok, so for anyone who's upset about the @SarvamAI models not beating GPT5/other 1T parameter models, my response: are you f kidding me? A year ago you were crying about India not having our own LLMs trained from scratch. The team has launched 14 amazing products in 14 days and it took years of work, each. And they span text, OCR, voice, LLMs, STT, hardware! I mean hardware! Edge models! Celebrate. They are just getting started. Sure, I am biased as their first investor, but we invested because we thought so highly of them. Of course we are biased. And the odds were enormous. But the opportunity is enormous-er :-) and these guys are absolute killers, and the team hunts! I haven't chatted with @pratykumar today but I heard someone say he saw that PPT for today's LLM launch session literally ON THE STAGE for the first time and laid it all out without a prompter. You can only do it when you know your material cold, and your heart is 100% living and breathing this stuff. Just incredible, congrats to everyone at @SarvamAI. Start of an era.
@debarghyawrites A lot of successful Indian LLMs are built on top of open source models from Mistral. Sad to see this. The tech community would have loved him but the babus are more imp i guess.
@deedydas I think India needed a face for the summit and Sarvam was the obvious choice with the founders who previously worked for the government. There were atleast 3-4 startups at the summit backed by VCs like Lightspeed and Elevation that had better benchmarks than Sarvam on Indic.
The @SwiggyInstamart ads on @sharktankindia seems so awkward and poorly implemented. Making a founder stand there while the host is saying cringey promotions lines , it’s very hard to watch.
@deepigoyal If you want AI to be your second brain, start using Obsidian, it uses markdown to store all your notes locally and will visualise them for you. Then you can connect the markdown folder with an AI reasoning model and it will give you answers combined with your way of thinking.
@aviralbhat I would take product managers out of the equation. You can't manage a product if you can't build it. And business schools don't teach anything about building products.
