you need to post the rent in dollars if you're going to ask for 90k for a studio apartment in bangalore
India/US cross border at its peak - saw a bangalore housing post in sf housing group chat 🤣💀@peakbengaluru
whenever i see someone being over optimistic about india, it's either someone who doesn't live here or is a vc who needs to justify their existence
jackson lamb is the closest thing to dr. house on tv right now, i had given up on seeing a character like him again
they hardly had a dozen people working on building models, looks like many of them are leaving?
After 2.5 years at Sarvam, I am starting something new!
I had a great time leading the RL team. We launched the 30B and 105B models back in Feb with a young team building everything from scratch. Excited to see the team keep growing and pushing the frontier. Grateful to @pratykumar for the early bet and trust.
As for what's next: I am convinced that there are a few critical parts of the stack that we still need to build to meaningfully accelerate science. One of them is verification.
Scientific discovery only scales with compute when proposing and verifying new ideas is fast and cheap. In math and code, we're starting to see what happens when models can generate ideas and reliably check them at scale. OpenAI's recent Navier-Stokes work is a glimpse of what that looks like.
Similar moments in chemistry, materials, biology and the rest of the physical sciences would require verification to get dramatically faster and cheaper. It cannot be bottlenecked by the throughput of physical labs
More soon. Very excited for what's next.
I was so excited until I read the last sentence.
My honest read is that the model doesn't actually communicate more naturally; it gets caught with the smoking gun less often.

sf is insane man
met a founder with 18 employees
all 18 of them live in his apartment with him (2 bedroom place)
they work 6-11-7 (6am to 11pm, 7 days a week)
they have to get his permission to do anything besides work or sleep
he also didn't want them wasting time dating people outside the company, so he matched them up internally (80% of employees are guys so a few of them now have to be gay)
sf startup culture is wild man
We Must Pace the Cringe
I have spent the last several years in Bangalore because I was forced to. I have read often about the incredible benefits of posting: I believe that with sufficient threads, podcast appearances, founder selfies, and tasteful references to “the ecosystem,” we can create a world of abundance, innovation, and personal brand.
But like many technologies before it, social media brings risks. And because Bangalore has such a powerful concentration of founders, investors, influencers, marketers, and people who have recently discovered embarrassing themselves and the city, these risks are serious.
A race to the bottom, spurred by engagement incentives, can make these risks more acute.
