I am excited to share that our paper "RSF-GLLM: Bridging the Semantic Gap in Multi-Hop Knowledge Graph QA via Recurrent Soft-Flow and Decoupled LLM Generation" authored by @sambaranb and @AnanthMuppidi is ACCEPTED as #ICML2026. Arxiv version will come soon and see you at @seoul!

America spent $285 billion to LOSE the AI war. Stanford dropped a 423 page report yesterday and revealed the most damning stat on page 200: The number of AI researchers moving to the United States has collapsed 89% since 2017. 80% of that collapse happened in the LAST 12 MONTHS. Let that sink in. The country that invented the transformer. The country that built OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI. The country pouring $285.9 billion of private capital into AI in a single year (23x more than China). Can no longer attract the people who actually build the technology. And here's the part that should concern every founder, operator, and investor reading this: The Trump administration just made it official. The H-1B visa now costs employers $100,000 PER HIRE. So OpenAI wants to hire a Chinese postdoc from Tsinghua? $100K before they write a line of code. Anthropic wants a French ML engineer? $100K. Google wants the Indian PhD who literally co-authored the paper their entire model is based on? $100K. And these are the LUCKY ones who even get a visa. The result was instant. 89% drop over 8 years. 80% of it in the last year alone. The talent pipeline got destroyed. Now look at the other side of the chart: China's top model is now 2.7 percentage points behind Anthropic's best. Down from a 20+ point gap two years ago. China leads the world in AI publications. China leads in AI patents. China leads in industrial robot installations. US and Chinese models have traded the #1 spot multiple times since early 2025. Switzerland and Singapore now have more AI researchers per capita than the US. The US ranks 24TH globally in actual AI adoption. Behind the UAE. Behind Singapore. Behind countries most Americans couldn't find on a map. And here's the truly insane part: 50% of the world's top AI researchers are Chinese. Jensen Huang said this on a podcast 3 weeks ago. For 20 years, the US strategy was simple: Let them study at Stanford and MIT, then keep them. Pay them $800K. Give them green cards. Build the future on imported brains. That deal is dead. We just told the smartest people in the world: "Pay $100,000 for the privilege of working here, or go home." And guess what they're doing. They're going to Zurich, where Anthropic and OpenAI are quietly opening offices because they can't get the talent into San Francisco anymore. The strategy is the same as building a Ferrari factory and then banning mechanics from entering the building. You can pour hundreds of billions into data centers. You can buy 4 million Nvidia chips. You can sign $300 billion cloud contracts with Oracle. You can build nuclear reactors to power your GPUs. None of it matters if the people who write the algorithms aren't allowed in the country. Wall Street thinks AI is a capex race. But in reality, it's a TALENT race. Every dollar Microsoft and Meta and Google are spending assumes the same army of researchers will keep showing up to use it. That assumption just broke. And the smart money already knows: Why is Anthropic opening a Zurich office? Why is DeepMind expanding in London instead of Mountain View? Why is OpenAI hiring in Dublin and Singapore? Because the math no longer works in America. The government turned the world's biggest brain magnet into the world's most expensive border wall. 3 years from now, when China launches a frontier model that outperforms anything in the US and the headlines scream "How did we lose the lead?" - remember this post. The lead wasn't lost in a lab. It wasn't lost on a benchmark. It wasn't lost to a smarter algorithm. It was lost at customs.

Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!" Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming. He named the paper "Claude's Cycles." 31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days." The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI. Paper: cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/…

Dear @IncomeTaxIndia, you suck lakhs and crores of rupees from a salaried person. At least ensure that your website is up for income tax filing. Income tax in India is a huge investment of money+time with a BIG ZERO RETURN on investment! #INCOMETAXPORTAL #incometaxindia

Dear @IndiGo6E, you are really the cheapest (in quality and ethics) airlines in India. You are so desperate to suck money from the passengers that you hide the "skip seat selection" option in Web Checkin. @MoCA_India @AviationIndia2

@8ap Please get your facts checked. There are stray dogs in many countries. Also, they don't have a huge human population problem. We destroy nature and do development in India and then blame animals for creating nuisance. BTW, you are not an animal lover. You are a breeder lover.

I’m a dog parent and love dogs. My golden retriever Duke is family. ❤️ But I fully support the Supreme Court’s decision to remove stray dogs from Delhi-NCR’s streets, in fact it should be implemented in Maharashtra too. Stray dogs in India aren’t just an “inconvenience”, they’re a menace. We’ve normalised dog-bite cases, rabies deaths, and aggressive packs chasing kids, cyclists, and delivery guys. You don’t see this in any other country. Go to Singapore, Japan, Europe, US where dogs are pets and not free-roaming hazards. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but I also love seeing kids play in the park without fear, delivery agents ride without being chased, and pedestrians walk without dodging packs. This decision will anger many. But it might finally make Indian cities safer for humans and for the dogs themselves.

@toisports @timesofindia Just marrying someone richer should not give you the right to maintain the same lifestyle after separation!! The other person has earned the lifestyle by decades of hardwork and dedication, and you just had signed a legal contract with that person in the name of marriage.

@airtelindia @AirtelXtream Why do you pretend to provide and take money in the name of Broadband connection to places where your connection is down 30% of the time!! @consumerforum_ #AirtelSucks

We got two research papers ACCEPTED in #ACL2025 Main conference! The first paper is on generating complex statistical infographics from documents and the second paper is on learning input-dependent soft prompting in LLMs. Congratulations to all the coauthors!!

An HMPV thread: That HMPV, or "Human Metapneumovirus", can cause symptoms that resemble the common cold, has been known for more than 2 decades. An HMPV infection typically results in a cough, fever, a blocked nose and some shortness of breath (1/6)

@lalpathlabs Can you please clarify why you use such needles whose seal remains unbroken after the use of the needle? Anyone can reuse such needles and cause serious medical threats!

@sambaranb Hello @sambaranb, We regret the inconvenience caused to you. To help you in this matter, we would request you to DM us your contact number with preferred timings to call back (7:00 AM to 10:00 PM) and resolve your concern.

Someone from @lalpathlabs collected a regular blood sample today at our home in #Bangalore. Shockingly, the needle seal remained intact after use. The used needle was then returned to the bag. This is extremely unsanitary and highlights a serious medical threat! @MoHFW_INDIA @WHO

@Taxpayer1529798 @CMofKarnataka @FamousDeadEnd Exactly! They take the money from us and build their own monuments of luxury. We risk our lives everyday just to commute to work and pay tax to them again.

@sambaranb @CMofKarnataka @FamousDeadEnd They will never respond, because they are not traveling on this roads . Shameless BBMP and Karnataka governance officials

Dear Karnataka Govt: This is in Panathur, around 2km from ORR, Bangalore. Please use at least 10% of our tax money to do some actual road development; we will not ask about the rest 90% 🙏🙏 #BBMP #karnatakagovt #Bangaloretrafic @CMofKarnataka @FamousDeadEnd
