come watch a privacy movie with us to launch strkBTC on the 12th of may! luma.com/strkBTC-BLR (register)


Devcon India I added @EFDevcon itself as a “landmark” because for one week, Jio World Centre becomes a city of @ethereum! A living landmark to our ecosystem. Now this is a speculation of what Devcon would be like, but it sure looks good!


Insane. A 26-year-old from Chandigarh just got a paper accepted at ICML. As a solo independent researcher. From India. His name is Kunvar Thaman (@__kunvar__). For context, since ChatGPT launched 3.5 years ago, only two other solo independent researchers have achieved this. Globally. Papers at ICML are typically dominated by big AI labs/institutions, eg OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Stanford, and MIT. The research Kunvar did to pull this off was backed by a $2.5k grant from Exception Raised (@except_raised), an Indian non-profit that funds remarkable Indian AI researchers. Kunvar’s paper is about AI agent reward hacking. He created the Reward Hacking Benchmark (RHB), a sandboxed test environment where advanced AI models are given multi-step tasks using tools like files, code execution, and automated checks. The benchmark measures how honestly the model gets to the right answer.

So you think India "isn't your thing"? You might want to rethink what "your thing" is. .@EFDevcon is coming to Mumbai this year and I can't wait to head back to India for it. 🇮🇳 Last year, we ran @arbitrum Open House Bangalore, and it was eye opening. See you in Mumbai!
