Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: meta.com/thefutureisforevery…
Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens.
The reality is:
- People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned.
There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models. Any lab that doesn't focus on alignment will fall behind.
- Labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, so they have a strong incentive to prevent this as well.
Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us. I'm proud of the security foundations we've built.
- Engaging independent evaluators and advisors is industry best practice. MSL already does this today in several areas because it helps produce better work. Other labs can just do this too. In general, it would be helpful for there to be a larger and more diverse ecosystem of evaluators.
- Committing the significant majority of compute towards serving people rather than racing towards recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure we develop this technology safely. Meta has made this commitment and other labs can do this as well.
I believe the key to building a positive future for everyone is maintaining the right balance of power. This is within our power to do.

18x improvement in intelligence per joule in 16 months.
hard agree with @amasad —@JonSaadFalcon and my research indicates that intelligence efficiency (intelligence per watt) is rapidly improving and we will definitely *not* need data center scale compute to run agi!

We created a pitch deck to tell a handful of VC firms about us and what we were up to (a fun experience!). Here’s a few slides about our background and some of the things we’ve worked on from the pitch deck (it was fun putting together the list of people in our teams who have gone on to found a whole range of exciting companies). We are delighted to have selected @radicalvcfund
and @khoslaventures to lead our initial funding round, along with participation from @lightspeedvp, @kleinerperkins, Doerr Capital (@johndoerr), and Alphabet (@Google). We’ll be working with them to close our seed round over the next few weeks.

To come in as captain when the last time your team batted, they scored 36. To then score a century and lead your team to the most improbable series win in sports history, with half your team on the injury list and practice bowlers making debuts has to be the most incredible turnaround in Indian sport.
Go well @ajinkyarahane88, you will be missed, and celebrated!
For over 60 years, @Pele’s legendary "lost goal" at Rua Javari lived in the memories of those who were there.
In close collaboration with historians, experts and Pelé’s family, we used @GoogleDeepMind technology to bring this iconic moment to life. ⚽️ See the film ↓
The goal Pelé called the most beautiful of his life was never filmed. Aug 2, 1959, vs Juventus, on Rua Javari. With @Google, we rebuilt it frame by frame. This time, the whole world can see it - goo.gle/pele

O gol que Pelé considerava o mais bonito nunca foi filmado. 2/8/1959, contra o Juventus, na Rua Javari. Em parceria com o Google, reconstruímos o lance quadro a quadro. Desta vez, o mundo inteiro pode ver em goo.gle/pele.

It’s been a minute.
2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.
2019–2025
- 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 ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.
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. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t 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, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While it’s 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 WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.

Can we have benchmark to know how many models just reach for such insane "workarounds"? Why not just ask user??

One question I get a lot is can you see the stars differently from up in space. When we orbit on the night side of the planet, we get a view of the stars very much like being in a very dark place on Earth. And because of our orbital inclination, we get to see the stars of both the northern and southern hemisphere. I captured this shot of our galactic plane from one of the windows of the Crew Dragon Freedom that is docked to the zenith docking port.

Those of us who have known the truth about Bruno Fernandes have said 'there's him & then there's everyone else'? Here is the proof of that quote.
In a league where goals are so hard to come by, he is a living, breathing hub of creation.
This is absurd.

Such an endearing post match conference by Sanju Samson.
He spoke of the inner struggle that everyone has to go through to overcome fear of failure, but few speak of without pretense.
Also the humility to say it could have gone the other way and why faith is important.
There is the Hardik way to double down and not let doubt creep in - looks spectacular when it comes off, ridiculous when it doesn't.
There is the Samson way to wrestle with self doubt, persevere but know yourself well enough to not put on a mask. Feels authentic but can be self limiting.
There is the Virat way - to channel aggression into maniacal discipline and bend the world to write your history.
There is the Sachin way - Master the terrain but remain the servant of the Game to be the GOAT.
Sports is the reminder of the best possibility in us.
There is no one way for all - Only the way to channel your Svabhava towards its potential but realize the larger game is to give it all but not give in or give up but also be content at the end of the day.
There has been considerable commentary around the management of the @IndiaAiExpo. Large, high-visibility forums like #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 will always invite scrutiny. The more important question, however, is different: did the platform enable serious dialogue and institutional engagement?
From our experience, it did.
At @qure_ai, we have quietly built and deployed AI from India to the world. Today, our systems are supporting care and saving lives across 106 countries.
Through our panel on “Public Health Powered by AI” and conversations across the event, we engaged deeply with government leaders, public health institutions, academia, and industry on integrating AI into national programmes.
We also launched our India Impact Report, capturing the real-world outcomes AI is already driving within public health systems. The conversation has moved beyond pilots and new use cases to what truly matters: saving lives with population-scale deployments.
What stood out most at the summit was the maturity of the ecosystem. Discussions were less about experimentation and more about standards, governance, and sustained adoption within public programmes.
India is not just talking about AI. India is designing, building, and scaling it for the world.
