Raghunath ji, thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is at the heart of what we are attempting at @SarvamAI .

We agree that you shouldn't have to count characters to be empowered by AI. We have credited your account with a lifetime access to our models. 🙏

Anyone else using Sarvam for accessibility, please write to us at [email protected]. Our team will address you directly while we work towards launching a formal program asap.

[Varun 🏎️🏃 @varunspike]

Terrifyingly good.

After Google acquired my AR startup, I started thinking about the next interface, this time for AI. Text and voice work fine, just like DOS did before the Mac. But nothing’s more intuitive than face to face.

After two years of research, today we’re launching Atmee v2: a real-time avatar model that makes live video agents feel truly life-like.

• Any character from 1 image + 10s of audio
• Contextual expressions, gestures, even interacting with the environment
• Live video calls, voice only, or video generation

At its core, Atmee v2 is a video foundation model, it can render anything, but it’s built to excel at characters, which is what video models like Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 are mostly used for. In comparison:
Atmee v2

• Up to 50x faster
• 10-100x cheaper

Build tutors, sales coaches, support agents, companions, game characters, even whole living worlds. The interface after text and voice starts today.

Customs indeed. I had my irritating experience. When you import UHP components for semicon market. Packed inside a double containment transparent bags. Customs guy open the bloody bags in the name of inspection. Products contaminated, customer rejectes the items.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

One daughter. One father's death.
An entire government machinery on its toes.
All because she refused to surrender.

In an era when protests turn violent,
and public property becomes a target,
one daughter chose a different path.

Bhadra Keerthi.

Fighting for justice for her father.

No violence.
No vandalism.
No destruction.

Just a grieving daughter.
Standing tall.
Refusing to kneel before the powerful.

October 25.
Kochi.

Jayabalakrishnan closed his tea shop.
He was returning home.
Perhaps dreaming of tomorrow.

Tomorrow never came.

A speeding Mercedes-Benz, alledgdly driven by a 17-year-old, struck his scooter from behind.

He died.

But the story didn't end there.

The boy's father was a judge.
Not just any judge.

An Additional District Judge, serving at the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal.

The very institution meant to compensate accident victims.

And his unlicensed teenage son was allegedly driving his Mercedes!

Did the father know?
Who gave the boy the keys?

Questions demanding answers.

The teenager was initially released.
Later, he secured juvenile bail.

And what about the father?
A guardian of the very law his family now stands accused
of violating?

Then came a daughter.
Bhadra Keerthi.

She didn't burn a bus.
She didn't attack the police.
She didn't vandalise a street.

She stood there.
Like a rock.

Demanding justice for her father.

Her voice shook the silence.

Serious charges followed.
The judge was booked.
Four police officers were suspended.

Yet she refused to surrender.

And here lies the divine irony.

Bhadra = The auspicious Devi.
Keerthi = Noble glory.

A name echoing the fierce symbol of righteousness.

Her father gave her that name.
Today, she gives it meaning.

Remember Mahishasura?

When arrogance mistakes gentleness for weakness, Devi rises.

Not to destroy the world.
But to confront its injustice.

Bhadra isn't fighting with weapons.
Her courage is her inner Trishul.
Her dignity is her Shakti.

Dear Bhadra Keerthi,
Your father sold tea.
But he raised a warrior.

He gave you life.
You are giving his name glory.

May Dharma prevail.
May justice be served.

Brilliant. Awesome 😎. Can't imagine what the future holds for us.

Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.

Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it.

The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.

Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

No matter the tools how sophisticated they may be. The bottleneck; it is you, the user!

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

Enough is enough. We mapped Bengaluru traffic to prove it is a huge civic and health risk that is taking lives and costing us lakhs just to exist here.

Some extremely sad data we found:
i) In a heart attack every 30 minutes of delay before treatment raises the risk of dying within a year by 7.5%. At 6 pm traffic here can add 25 minutes to an ambulance ride.

ii) Bengaluru has the most deaths from civic negligence in India. In August a 32 year old woman was killed when the bike she was on swerved around a pothole.

iii) Rush hour takes about a month of working hours from a commuter every year, like an 8% pay cut. Living near the tech parks to avoid it costs ₹1.6 to ₹2.4 lakh more a year in rent.

iv) You have access to only 3 out of 10 essential public facilities (schools, hospitals, toilets etc) at 6pm within a 30 minute vicinity.

v) The ORR carries more than double the traffic it can handle. Last year a company said it would leave Bellandur over 1.5 hour commutes and another state invited it within a day.

vi) The ORR bus lane cut bus trips by about 20 minutes. It was removed in 2022 for metro work and still is not back.

This is intolerable for a city that drives so much of India's economy. We cannot let India's Silicon Valley stall.

My team has put the most immediate fixes that will help solve this + how delayed/pushed they have been. Tag the people who can fix it: Traffic police or Namma Metro or GBA or the CM's office and let us all be honest and tell us what 6 pm has cost you.

Thanneer Mathan Dinangal — 2 கோடி budget, 150 கோடி collection.

Premalu — 3 கோடி budget, 150 கோடி collection.

BKU — 30 கோடி budget, 330 கோடி collection.

மூணுமே ரொம்ப simple கதைகள். ஆனால் screenplay-ல audience-ஐ கட்டிப் போட்டு, 1000% மேல collection எடுக்க வைக்க முடிகிறது.

ஆனா இந்த Girish AD நாட்டு மக்களுக்கு advice பண்ற interview-லாம் கொடுக்கிறதில்ல.

Technology used the right way can bring you sooo much peace #FTW

[Harsh Savergaonkar @harshsaver]

leaving mom for work was the hardest this time

so i set up an old linux laptop with a big screen on our dining table that stays on a video call 24x7

got claude to write scripts so that if the laptop / browser crashes it rejoins, if the wifi breaks it fixes itself and rejoins, and if it gets switched off she just presses the power button and i'm back

right now i'm somewhere over iceland working and eating, and she's at home doing her work

we're not even talking, but every now and then she looks up and i'm there, and i look up and she's there

and when she gets up at 3am for water, i'll be on the screen working and she can just say hi before going back to bed

thank you technology ❤️

Yesterday at CP, there were jammers because of a protest, so an Argentine woman at Saravana Bhavan couldn’t pay her approx ₹500 bill. Her card, UPI basically nothing worked. I ended up paying for her.

She said, “India is such an interesting country. The system is so hostile, but the people are equally kind.”

And honestly, it made me think: it’s rightly said, India disappoints both the optimist and the pessimist; often in the same afternoon. 😭
