Razorpay making a come back is beautiful...

[Harshil Mathur @harshilmathur]

4 billion payments. 3 trillion data points. One model trained on all of it.

Meet @Razorpay Vulcan - India’s first transformer-based AI foundation model for payments.

Built, trained and hosted in India, in partnership with @nvidia and @awscloud.

Until now, every payments problem was solved separately: routing, fraud, risk, personalisation and more.

We asked: What if one model could understand how money moves?

And like LLMs are trained on text to understand language, Vulcan is trained on payments to understand how money moves.

Already running in beta across 51,000+ businesses, Vulcan is delivering:

- 8–10% improvement in payment success rates - the ultimate measure of whether a payment simply works.
- 8x more international card fraud detected.
- 5x more fraudulent or disputed transactions identified.
- 1–2 lakh more purchases completed every month through better checkout personalisation.

And we’re just getting started. The best part? Every payment Vulcan sees makes the next one smarter.

We’ve spent years building the infrastructure that moves money for India. Now, we’re building the intelligence that understands and improves it. 🔥

@ponnappa Can we safely say good managers of builder team's have themselves become builders?

Carl Sagan : ‘What happens if the doctrine of a religion—Buddhism let’s say—is contradicted by some finding, some discovery—in science, let’s say—what does a believer in Buddhism do in that case?’

Dalai Lama: ‘For Buddhists that is not a problem. The Buddha himself made clear that the important thing is your own investigation. You should know the reality, no matter what the scripture says. In case you find a contradiction—opposite of the scriptures’ explanation—you should rely on that finding, rather than scripture.’

Carl Sagan: ‘So, that is very much like science?’

Dalai Lama: ‘Yes, that’s right. So I think that the basic Buddhist concept is that at the beginning it is worthwhile or better to remain skeptical. Then carry out experiments through external means as well as internal means. If through investigation things become clear and convincing, then it is time to accept or believe. If, through science, there is proof that after death there is no continuity of human mind, of life, then—theoretically speaking—Buddhists will have to accept that.’

@paraschopra Isn't focussing on coding agents just that?

[Shivam @shivambehl_]

@paraschopra The latest Meta model proves this. Models tend to perform better when they’re trained in the same environment they’re expected to operate in. Like you said, grep works because the environment generalizes easily.

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

The President has assented to the #VandeMataram Amendment, passed without discussion in Parliament, which requires the singing of the National Song in full at the start and ending of any official function, in addition to the National Anthem.
As one who greatly respects both, and can sing the first two stanzas of the former (but not the other four, which were never required till now) as well as the entire anthem, i would like to point to just one practical consideration our zealots appear to have overlooked: human nature.
"Jana Gana Mana" requires audiences to stand respectfully and focus their attention for a reasonable 52 seconds. The National Song in full takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Tamil Nadu has just decided that both will be preceded by the State Song in Tamil for another 2 minutes. Do we really expect audiences to stand still and respectfully for six minutes before and after every function, a total of 12 extra minutes? Can respect and patience be legislated?
I fear that the intent of the Bill, to promote greater respect for the National Song , will not be achieved, but its opposite may well be....

Speakeasy w/ @WisprFlow @TheProductfolks was definitely a fun event, creatively put together :)

@amuldotexe Can you dive a bit deeper into this path? How is it any different from the typical hustle of Indian startups? Or are you saying it’s different for people who are already settled and now want to build something for india, but without going through the usual startup grind?

Geography is Destiny: a lot of folks reach out to ask my thoughts on immigration; while mid-career folks like me who have settled here for good won't find it relevant, those in 20s may find it useful - created by @Gemini_Notebook ingested with my 70k+ tweets
