Happy to be covered by @RuntimeBRT! This is the era of the Intelligence Arbitrage. No longer will the markets be dominated by speed and information asymmetries, in the future, the markets will reward the most intelligent models. But unlike general purpose LLMs, this will need

In my 9 years building and hiring for deep tech AI in India, I've found the AI community at @lossfunk a class apart. Plus the deals from @paraschopra are unbelievably founder friendly. Highly recommended!

My first day working at freecharge post its $400M acquisition, I asked @kunalb11 whether he commutes on a bike when he asked me for directions (never knew what he looked like). My boss was livid 😂

GPUs can be bought or rented in an instant, but it takes decades to develop the talent. My estimate is that there are fewer than 100 AI scientists with the skills to train these state of the art models that currently reside in India. Think of these scientists as elite

India has around 5,000 H100 GPUs in total. Elon Musk alone has 150,000. Let that sink in. We're not just behind in the AI race; we're not even on the track. At this rate, only a miracle can pull us back into the game. And if we lose this race now, forget about catching up

I've noticed that those with depth behind their thoughts speak little, and vice versa.

1/ The markets are one of the most fascinating phenomena of our time. An error-correcting, distributed compute cluster, processing and pricing the world's information in real-time. But in the future, it will not be humans that drive the market. It will be AI.
