Today, we are announcing a series of updates that give customers frontier-grade security at half the cost.
MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is our first cybersecurity model, built ground up to find the most challenging vulnerabilities in complex code bases. When combined with MDASH, it delivers world-class performance at 50 percent of the cost of leading models.
We are bringing this capability to market through Project Perception, a complete agentic security offering grounded in real-world signals and security workflows. Teams of specialized agents work together to simulate attacks, detect and triage/investigate, and fix and remediate.
This is the benefit of building the harness, context/signals, and action space separate from one model family. By combining specialized models and data with the right agents, tools, security context, and harness, we can advance the frontier of cost to outcome.
Ever felt trapped by "perfectionism"? π€ I'm looking for thoughts and suggestions on this.
@arpit_bhayani, do you have any insights based on your experiences? I really admire your problem-solving approach! #Perfectionism#Thoughts
Just built a custom tool to file ITR-2 myself with Opus 5 help! It's amazing to see the model's accuracy solve even complex calculations of Schedule FA. I think we should stop outsourcing our income details to CAs and build custom tools ourselves. #IncomeTax#Opus5#Learning π

Itβs been a minute.
2015β2018

- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~βΉ3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.

Today
CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. Iβm stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesnβt change. Just the role.
Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.
Team CRED, Iβll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, Iβll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While itβs come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsAppβs journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.
I think this is the most underrated skill that I need to focus and improve. Thanks for this post @arpit_bhayani and inspiring others as always.
Something that I will focus in coming days.
Be visibly competent.
If you have skills but others do not know about them, you will never get the opportunities you deserve. Make your abilities visible, and ensure that what you bring to the table is impossible to ignore.
