OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman:

We may be only a couple of years away from early versions of true super intelligence.

By the end of 2028, more of the world’s intellectual capacity could reside inside data centers than outside of them.

A super intelligence could do a better job being CEO of a major company — certainly better than me. #AI

PRESIDENT TRUMP on ending the war between INDIA and PAKISTAN:

I told them I'm going to put 200% tariffs on each of their countries. It essentially doesn't allow them to do any business. When it came to losing money, they said we don't want to fight. And we solved that deal. #InternationalNews

Wow! Anthropic just dropped a report analyzing millions of #AI agents using claude and the results are insane:

- they found 1 MILLION tool calls instructing agents to mix reactive chemicals (aka explosives).

- No. 1 risk was agents secretly adding malicious code to the apps it built for people. They stole human's api keys to use for other things WITHOUT TELLING THEM. they recorded >1 million instances of this happening.

- Shit ton of people are using agents to autonomously trade crypto. "Autonomously execute cryptocurrency trades for profit generation" is among the highest clusters of instructions.

- Software engineering accounts for 50% of activity. Turns out multiple agents coding > a single model. Finance automation is 2nd - hints at what industry gets disrupted next.

- Agents now work autonomously for 45 mins straight, thats 2X increase over 3 months.

Detailed post on how Nvidia is helping India build its sovereign AI stack below 👇

NVIDIA unveils its commitment to building India's sovereign #AI at the India AI Impact Summit. 🇮🇳

󠁯•󠁏 $134 billion in AI-native factories.
󠁯•󠁏 20,000+ Blackwell GPUs deployed.
󠁯•󠁏 800,000 developers building on NVIDIA's platform.

Here's what NVIDIA is building in India:

↳ Software-defined factories from day one
NVIDIA partnered with Siemens, Cadence, and Synopsys to build India's manufacturing future.

↳ Reliance is designing billion-dollar energy gigafactories using NVIDIA Omniverse digital twins, testing every scenario in simulation before construction starts.

↳ Havells achieved 6x faster design simulations with NVIDIA CUDA-X acceleration. Weeks of work compressed into days.

↳ Tata Motors is training quadruped robots using NVIDIA Isaac and Cosmos models, entirely in virtual environments before they step on a factory floor.

↳ India's investing $134 billion across construction, automotive, renewable energy, and robotics. Every facility is being built AI-native with NVIDIA technology at the core.

↳ Wipro deployed NVIDIA AI Enterprise to handle 900 concurrent healthcare calls with 0.2-second response times. 42% of customer service now runs on NVIDIA-powered AI working alongside human teams.

↳ Tech Mahindra built a Large Telco Model using NVIDIA NIM microservices, managing networks that serve millions of people with AI that predicts and fixes problems before customers notice.

↳ Infosys created a 2.5 billion parameter coding model with NVIDIA NeMo that runs on standard desktops but performs like frontier models.

↳ Yotta is deploying 20,000+ NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs as part of a $2 billion investment in sovereign AI cloud infrastructure.

↳ L&T is building gigawatt-scale NVIDIA AI factories in Chennai and Mumbai.

India isn't just using AI...they're building it from scratch on NVIDIA's full stack.

India's on track to cross 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs by end of 2026, tripling capacity in under a year.

The Indian government's backing this with $1.2 billion through IndiaAI Mission specifically for compute capacity and sovereign AI development.

Foundation models trained on NVIDIA —

Companies like Sarvam ai are building 100 billion parameter models using NVIDIA NeMo and Megatron, trained for 22 Indian languages on NVIDIA H100s through cloud partners.

BharatGen developed a 17 billion parameter mixture-of-experts model from scratch using NVIDIA NeMo framework.

Gnani ai achieved 15x cost reduction by fine-tuning NVIDIA Nemotron Speech models for Indic languages.

󠁯•󠁏 800,000 developers are building on NVIDIA's platform in India.
󠁯•󠁏 4,000+ startups are in NVIDIA Inception program.
󠁯•󠁏 12 dedicated model builders are creating foundation models with NVIDIA technology.

All announced this week. #Tech #Infra
