Sundar Pichai just reminded everyone that Google was built on open source.
He personally worked on Chromium, Android, and Kubernetes before becoming CEO. Three systems that power billions of devices today.
Now Google is applying the same philosophy to AI. Their Gemma models are updated year after year, designed to run on edge devices rather than requiring massive cloud infrastructure.
The question he got was why not release a large open source frontier model. His answer was revealing: frontier training requires enormous capex investment, and Google is putting billions into R&D to stay at the frontier.
The open source AI landscape is quietly consolidating around a few players who can sustain the investment. Google's two decades of open source credibility gives them a position that's hard to replicate.

@RealMattMoney Should we start calling you triple M or is it still double M?

The world wants me to die.
My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days.
Many were saddened.
However, joy dominated the commentary.
People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves.
But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern:
“he deserved it.”
I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture.
This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.
Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority.
This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution.
People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation.
For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe.
I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.
This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years.
Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged.
What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable.
What if I didn’t deserve it?
And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?

NOLAN JUST BROKE THE INTERNET
The Odyssey trailer hit 700,000 dislikes on YouTube. Nolan's response was one line: "Comes with the territory"
- Critics who already saw the film are calling it his best work yet
- Half the outrage is over two casting choices in minor roles
- The cast reads like an Avengers lineup: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, and Elliot Page all share the screen
- Reviews leaked before the backlash even peaked, and they're glowing
You can hate the trailer. You still have to see the movie now.

Christopher Nolan has responded to backlash over The Odyssey trailer, which received over 700,000 dislikes on YouTube. When asked about the criticism, Nolan’s response was short: “Comes with the territory.” He added that it’s not worth judging a movie before release because nobody has seen the finished film yet. Nolan said that adapting a well-known story always draws strong opinions, just like with his Batman movies.

@KrisPatel99 Why do I feel that the longer OpenAI and Anthropic delay their IPO, the worse it's going to be for them. They should have IPO'ed when the market was hot

The age old question of who benefits from AI is slowly being answered by the market. Many people think it’s all about being at the top of the stack but in reality, it’s always been about access and utilization.
Neither OpenAI or Claude can’t one shot 4B daily active users. $META can however slowly work on building up its capabilities and tailor them to user and business needs to lock in a whole new income stream.
Same thing will happen across multiple application layers that are entrenched on both the consumer and enterprise side.

$META plans to release Muse which is its first in-house AI image generation model. Meta also plans to replace third-party image models with its own proprietary image technology.

GOOD MOrning! Interesting that all MAGS are Green this morning so far, even IGV is green PLTR $MSFT - Not surprising as we head in to July.
$QQQ at PDH here needs to break out if so target 720 resistace area. 725 729 major resistance area. Gap to fill below at 706 although given the strength of MAGS I think no gap fill at least for today.

It’s been a minute.
2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.
2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.
Today
CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.
Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.
Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.

@talk2anuradha @IndiGo6E I received a compensation voucher from the fiasco last year. They didn't allow me to redeem it 😅 They had disabled the option of payment by voucher on the payment page and customer service was absolutely useless.
English

There is a new scam by @IndiGo6E these days.
When you web check-in, they don’t show any free seat options to select.
If you skip seat selection and choose auto-assigned seating, they say you'll receive your boarding pass by email around 4 hours before departure. In my case, it never arrived.
When I called customer care to ask why the boarding pass wasn't sent, they told me that auto-assigned seating can only be done 12 hours before departure. If it isn't assigned by then, the airport has to allocate the seat. They also said they have no way to contact the airport.
So you are forced to reach the airport at least 1 hour early for physical check-in. If you arrive close to the check-in cutoff, they may refuse to issue a boarding pass and say you missed the check-in deadline.
Technically, there are no FREE seats for web check-in.
Everybody is out here scamming common people because apparently there’s nowhere for us to go and complain. Well done!
