Today, we're introducing Bulbul V4 Flash, our latest text to speech model built for natural, expressive speech across Indian languages.
Flash brings frontier-quality speech into a smaller, more efficient model, preserving the subtle details that make voices sound natural while making speech generation significantly faster.

Introducing Muse Wonder, our new family of frontier models with state of the art performance for personal and professional agentic work.
deedy is right.
india treats its brightest minds like shit and then cries about brain drain.
why should talented people stay in a country that consistently punishes competence and rewards mediocrity?
The smartest Indians continue to come to build in the US for the simple reason that the economic incentives are far far better.
Perplexity ($20B), Skild ($14B+), Baseten ($13B), Together ($8B), Glean ($8B), Modal ($5B), Rubrik ($25B), Harness ($5B), Blacksmith, Parallel, Greptile, CodeRabbit, Composio, Distyl ($2B), Resolve, Luma, Cartesia, Wispr, dMatrix, Arize and many more - all started by at least one Indian-born founder.
The US is a far easier to raise capital in with far less dilution. Most Indian companies are switching where they're domiciled to get access to the US capital markets. Every single Indian venture firm is trying very hard to invest in the US or risk not participating in the AI race (ironically, the management fees of venture firms are so high in India relatively that this is the one group that net of carry actually has incentive to be in India because they take home well north of a living wage whether or not funds perform do)
While Zomato ($35B now, $8B at IPO) might be the biggest outcome in Indian venture, Cursor ($60B), Reflection (potentially $20B+), World Labs ($8B), OpenRouter ($8B), HuggingFace ($12B) and of course the $1T+ big labs quickly make those outcomes seem small and happen on a much smaller time scale, with much higher IRR.
Engineers at these startups regularly get paid $1M/yr, and make $10M+ on exit. Even in BigTech, it is trivial to pull up levels fyi and see that if you're L6/L7+ with ~10 years of experience, you're making $1M/yr there too. And of course, we all know the slew of Indian CEOs of companies here, not to mention a huge bench of lesser known executives across the board in public and private companies.
I say all this because every time there is a slight immigration hiccup in the US, I hear the online pleas to "build in India", I struggle to understand why most engineers, academics or founders would do that net of desire to be close to family, failure to obtain visa and devout patriotism.
This is not a superiority thing or a US v India thing. The economic incentives at least for technologists to being in the US outweigh India by at least an order of magnitude.

i thought it was a me thing until i talked to like hella people building today at a hackathon who felt the same
i could have sworn gpt models weren’t this bad over the summer.
super disappointed and honestly considering switching over again.
guys every time chatgpt is done w a response it’s giving a small chime and it’s driving me crazy
does ANYONE know how to make it stop

You are a struggling second tier competitor that is more unethical and lying just because you have no decency or sense of proper behavior and shows your desperation. Straight out lying about if Chris being fired I thought would be below even you.

i love this trend sm because it’s probably the most human thing ever
you can do all these really cool stuff during ur childhood like research or building robots/software and it’s extraordinary don’t get me wrong
but no one ever talks about literally just living life and i guess really put it aside/look down on it
stuff like this needs to be more normalized imo, we’re all humans
