Congrats @divyahansg and @nilamg!
Founding Beacon with @nilamg has been the most intense but also fulfilling time of my life. In just a year, we’ve grown to a team of 30+ and acquired dozens of mission-critical software businesses that quietly power everyday life, helping them bring AI to real-world industries.

Let him cook
Can someone explain to me why ~500 tok/s is fast and what in-the-weeds technical constraints prevent 100,000 tok/s at same quality? My gut is there’s incredible waste due to infinite money and in a world w/ 1/10000th of the capital models would be orders of magnitude better

Prem is one of the smartest people I've met. Huge win for @cognition_labs!
I’ve joined Cognition to continue to work on the future of software engineering. I was employee #2 at Windsurf and have worked on AI+code for years. There’s never been a more exciting time and place for it than now at Cognition. I had a place at Google DeepMind as part of the

I hope you've found this thread helpful. I'm Shrav, and I'm the CEO of Secureframe—a platform that helps businesses automate compliance and enhance security. RT the tweet below and follow @shravvmehtaa for more threads on cybersecurity and entrepreneurship.
Nikesh Arora is built different: • 2nd highest-paid CEO in America ($151M) • Took Palo Alto from $19B to $120B • Walked away from inheriting SoftBank's $100B empire • Grew Google's revenue from $2B to $60B The executive who rejects kingdoms to build empires: 🧵

Nikesh's strategy: Join companies with strong technical teams but unclear strategy. Apply systematic, data-driven scaling. Build platforms and ecosystems, not just products. Most importantly, know when to walk away from power to build bigger power.

In 2023, Arora earned $151M in compensation, making him the 2nd highest-paid CEO in America. That means he is ahead of Zuckerberg, Pichai, and even Elon. Today, Nikesh runs a $130B company with a $1.5B net worth, despite never founding a company.

Nikesh shifted Palo Alto from hardware sales to subscription-based software services. The results were crazy: • Market cap: $19B → $123B ($104B value created) • Revenue: $2.3B → $8.0B annually • Palo Alto became the world's largest cybersecurity company

2 years later, Arora became the CEO of Palo Alto Networks. It was "a powerful cybersecurity company that had fallen behind." Market cap: $19B. As soon as Nikesh joined, he started acquiring companies (18 acquisitions so far).

But in 2016, everything changed. Masa changed his mind and decided to become the CEO again. Instead of being the "CEO-in-waiting", Nikesh walked away from inheriting the SoftBank empire. He sold his $483M SoftBank shares back to Masa at a loss.

But that Coupang investment alone returned 30X. When Coupang went public in 2021, SoftBank's stake was worth $30+ billion. Nikesh saw what others missed. He wasn't buying just companies, he was buying monopolies.

His investment philosophy: Take massive stakes (30%+) in companies with network effects & long-term potential. Nikesh deployed over $1B into various startups: • Snapdeal (e-comm) • Ola (ride-hailing) • Oyo (budget hotels) • Grofers (grocery) Everyone thought he was crazy.

Masayoshi Son recruited Nikesh to SoftBank in 2014. Masa publicly named him successor and made him the President & CEO of Softbank. Nikesh was all set to become an heir to a $100B empire. Right after that, Nikesh led a $1B investment into Korean e-commerce company Coupang.

In 2004, Nikesh joined Google right after its IPO. He was assigned to build Google's presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa from basically nothing. Nikesh grew Google's revenue from $2B to over $60B and became Google's highest-paid exec with a $51M package.
