AI might be changing the world, but can it keep up with the wit in this room? Between the big conversations and the bigger wins, the ET Startup Awards 2026 had its fair share of laughs too. Things took a lighter turn as Suresh Venkat threw a few curveball questions at some familiar faces in the front row. If you could ask this distinguished front row just one question, what would it be? Tell us in the comments! 👇 #ETStartupAwards #ETSA2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #IndianStartups @ighose @VaniKola @PiyushGoyal @IDFCFIRSTBank @EdgeByTitan @indiqube @TheLeelaHotels @Tracxn @EconomicTimes

We kicked off our company building immersion for Surge 12 in Bangalore last week. The focus was on the early choices that shape the trajectory of a company, with sessions around some of the questions every 0–1 founder has to navigate: - Founder’s DNA  - Finding Product Market Fit and continuing to find it as you grow - GTM in age of AI and its constant evolution - Distribution as a moat - Hiring: the who, the how, the when - Media, press, branding and content  - Resilience & grit - 1% Mindset Thank you to our friends and speakers for your time, and candour. Here’s a glimpse of the energy from the 3 days. Details of sessions coming up soon… @lkeshre @barnwalSanjeev Nandita Sinha @ighose @tarunsmehta @thetanmay @MuddaKaushik @amodm @monagandhi Yugesh Kothari @findingnische @VU2FDC @AnishDasSarma @Sachin_Shah_ @sjs_day1 @RajanAnandan @mobhat @pushpakkedia @nehabarjatya @SimranKodesia @Surajlaungani

Introducing Claude Haiku 5.5: the cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model we’ve ever released. On average, it costs around 75% less to run than Claude Haiku 4.5.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR. We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use. Read more: anthropic.com/news/claude-di…

The capability of the models itself, it's gone across on doing very long horizon tasks and that capability is doubling. That's been happening for the last two years. India remains um the second largest user of Claude AI and not just that, worldwide, it is the largest proportion, 45% using it for anything to do with testing, acceleration and experimentation, which means that we really kind of deploy and delegate a lot more in clot than anybody else. So kudos to the country and what people are and builders are doing from here too.

The Finance Advisor to the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @lkatheeq joined the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @DKShivakumar in a meeting with the senior leadership of Anthropic led by Mr Michael Sellitto and Ms Irina Ghose, to discuss opportunities for collaboration in advancing Artificial Intelligence across governance, public service delivery, skilling, scientific research and the startup ecosystem. As AI continues to reshape economies and governments across the world, regions that combine world-class talent, cutting-edge research, vibrant innovation ecosystems and progressive public policy will emerge as global leaders. Karnataka has steadily built these strengths over the years, making Bengaluru a natural destination for frontier AI companies looking to partner with government and academia. The discussions reflected a shared vision of leveraging AI to improve citizen services, strengthen government capabilities, accelerate research and empower startups, while ensuring that innovation remains responsible, inclusive and focused on creating tangible public value. Karnataka's next phase of growth will not be driven only by adopting new technologies, but by building institutions and partnerships that transform technological innovation into better governance and stronger economic outcomes. #ArtificialIntelligence #ResponsibleAI #Karnataka #Innovation #Governance

In 12 minutes he explains why Fable 5 needs less prompting than any model before, and why your old detailed prompts now work against you. Watch it, then save the exact config below 👇
