Look at the avg age. They had humility, courage & clarity of thought. 🙏 As opposed to today's media idols like Umar, Anirban, Kanhaiya https://t.co/T9ZwWI7LVZ
More than half the Indian AI/consumer startups I meet are quietly running on Chinese open weights - DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi. Nobody puts it in the pitch deck.
The math forces the choice. DeepSeek's flagship reasoning model ships output at $3.5 per million tokens. Claude and GPT charge $25–30 for the same tier. That's a 90% price cut, frontier model to frontier model - before you even get to the free, self-hostable open weights.
We keep saying "Atmanirbhar Bharat" on stage while our founders build on China's models in private.
The technology and cost gap is real - we need to go from customers to challengers.

Kirti Chakra felt proud today
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
A heartbreaking moment as the mother of Sepoy Janjal Pravin Prabhakar breaks down while receiving her son’s Kirti Chakra. He made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty on July 6, 2024, during a fierce anti-terror operation in Kulgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Displaying exceptional courage and devotion to duty, he eliminated two terrorists before laying down his life for the nation.
His bravery will forever inspire generations. India salutes this brave son of the soil, and stands with his family in their moment of pride and grief.
Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
Congratulations on your fantastic move against corruption. @BJP4India wins elections. In many states like say Madhya Pradesh...@INCIndia runs the govt through its people in the baboo(n) mafia
Tainted Rajesh Exports is large defaulter of Canara Bank with more than Rs. 2485 crores from 2021. Then why LIC continued to invest? Why no case by CBI? https://t.co/D3RWz12jqf via @PGurus1

A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name.
He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping.
His name is Fabrice Bellard.
Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built.
Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at École Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code.
In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years.
Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it.
He was not done.
In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on Earth.
He kept going.
In 2001 he won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a small C compiler that grew into TCC, the Tiny C Compiler. TCC can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in under 15 seconds. In 2004 he calculated the most digits of pi ever computed at the time, using a personal desktop computer and an algorithm he derived himself called Bellard's formula. In 2011 he wrote a complete PC emulator in pure JavaScript that runs Linux in your browser, a project called JSLinux that engineers still cannot believe is real.
In 2019 he released QuickJS, a small but complete JavaScript engine that fits where V8 cannot. In 2021 he released NNCP, a neural network based lossless data compressor that immediately took the lead on the Large Text Compression Benchmark.
Then he turned his attention to large language models. He built TextSynth Server, a web server with a REST API for running LLMs locally. He released ts_zip and ts_sms, compression utilities that use language models to compress text and short messages at ratios traditional algorithms cannot reach. He released TSAC, a very low bitrate audio compression system. In December 2025 he released Micro QuickJS, a new JavaScript engine for microcontrollers, separate from QuickJS, designed for environments with almost no memory.
Fabrice co-founded a telecom company called Amarisoft in 2012, where he serves as CTO. Amarisoft builds 4G and 5G base station software used by carriers and labs around the world. He has been running it for over a decade while continuing to ship personal projects from his own home page at bellard dot org
He has no Twitter. He has no Instagram. He gives almost no interviews. His personal website is a flat list of projects with no styling, no fonts, no marketing copy. Just titles and links.
A quiet French engineer who never moved to Silicon Valley wrote the code that quietly runs the internet.
He is still shipping.
@christopherrufo It’s not John who’s behind these attacks. It’s this guy: David Milton Brent (now “Dee” Brent), chief writer and producer of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”.
India needs a stronger Lokpal ..article by @PrashantTewar11@TheDailyPioneer .. Lokpal Bill was passed in 2012 during anti-corruption protests ... But did not start... Started only in 2017 after Supreme Court's intervention ... Not having much power .. Just a body of retired SC and HC Judges and retired bureaucrats and police officers .... Sadly no big activity in Lokpal for the past 9 years .. Govt and Judiciary must work in tandem to strengthen Lokpal .. Lokpal must have control over probe agencies https://t.co/ed741ABS6k
