Fun fact, @GoogleDeepMind might owe its existence to the asymmetry between the Bishop and the Knight.

@demishassabis spent months thinking about how to catch Thiel's attention in an event in 2010. Guess what he spoke about.

We've streamlined our LLM architecture by merging instructor_llm_factory with llm_factory for cleaner, more maintainable code. ✨ Thanks to @rhlbhatnagar for this amazing update.

Why? Less code duplication, fewer bugs, easier to maintain, and a cleaner codebase for future innovations.

We're also systematically migrating metrics to our collections framework and some notable bug fixes including LlamaIndex integration NameError during evaluation and better error handling in async utilities. And a better asyncio handling with proper uvloop detection to prevent patching conflicts.

@malikgarv I've looked for seek bar at the bottom, so I could forward.

When I entered manufacturing, mentors shared a few hard truths (among many others):
* Indian-made machines still face trust issues
* Pure MAAS/contract manufacturing models bleed margins over time
* Consistent quality requires investment in upskilling teams

@TheMFGProject, we are blending both worlds in terms of a business model -- developing our own product lines and offering MAAS/contract manufacturing. We build machines in-house when needed and invest deeply in training to ensure world-class quality at competitive costs.

It’s exciting to see VCs finally backing real innovation in Indian manufacturing. But to accelerate progress, we must also learn from the MSME veterans, so we can shorten our learning curve and scale.

@kidzovoapp got nominated in @TheWebbyAwards! 🎉

For those who don't know, it's often hailed as the "Internet's highest honor".

We're the first made in 🇮🇳 app to ever get nominated, though @getkiddopia got close last year as a Honoree.

@sibalsahab Bhai mere toh ghar pe literally daka daal diya and cops are ghosting us.

While folks obsess over the new Delhi CM. Some people broke in + ransaked our house in Delhi, they even had the time to turn off the water supply and run away with taps!

I'm just glad no one was home.

@DelhiPolice, said they'll catch people in 2 days, and then ghosted us. Wtf?
