Shreesh was my lab mate in IIT Kapur when he was doing his PhD - many of us admired his intellect and benefitted from his generosity. It is so good to hear about him a long time.

Powerful blog from @tenstorrent : wakeup call to build DPGs and Opensource platforms.

@devvarma opines that India must build cost-competitive, resilient cloud alternatives, but stresses AI is inherently global. He advocates sovereign cloud development while staying engaged with the worldwide AI ecosystem. https://t.co/vlS1qPQRxD

This new DeepMind research shows just how broken vector search is.

Turns out some docs in your index are theoretically incapable of being retrieved by vector search, given a certain dimension count of the embedding.

People ask me what's next. The GOAT points the way.

NVIDIA just dropped Project DIGITS, a $3,000 personal AI supercomputer that’s small enough to look like a Mac Mini but packs 1,000x the power of your average laptop.

Handles AI models with up to 200 BILLION parameters.

This is incredible..
