Is the 'reverse brain drain' in tech gaining momentum in the wake of visa upheavals? I shared my own story with @moneycontrolcom: after over a decade in Silicon Valley of working on cutting-edge AI, I moved back to India last year. Inspired by PM @narendramodi's call to NRIs to

@tadityasrinivas Okay, I agree that my initial wording was somewhat tendentious. Perhaps see @ysu_nlp’s post for a more calm and balanced take. 😊 But its roots lie in lots of recent posts, podcasts, videos, etc. arguing that language models are really limited and how much we need so-called world

Natural language is an encoding/expression of meaning and logic of experiences that are central to humans. So it’s not surprising in hindsight that language modeling leads to emergent capabilities in tasks that *we* consider important. I don’t see the need to compare the
Math/physics-envious crowd still trying to cope with how central languages—human and symbolic codes—are to modern human existence. Occasionally I try to toss a wrapper into a garbage bin but usually I’m discussing, writing plans, coding, thinking through a strategy, ….

Good thing there’s been a significant drop in the drain of India’s engineering and STEM graduates post-pandemic. Tightening immigration just further cemented this trend. Long India. 🇮🇳
What if we split Asians by country of origin? We find that Indians are the most economically positive major country of origin group. Chinese immigrants contribute similarly to other Asian immigrants but Indians rise above the pack.

Someone say “intelligence too cheap to meter”? ⚡️
Gemini 3 Flash on the @ArtificialAnlys intelligence benchmark, the most cost per intelligence efficient model in the world!!!

We’ve pushed out the Pareto frontier of efficiency vs. intelligence again. With Gemini 3 Flash ⚡️, we are seeing reasoning capabilities previously reserved for our largest models, now running at Flash-level latency. This opens up entirely new categories of near real-time

I’m flattered (?) @OpenAI, except I haven’t really applied 🤔😄 1) someone impersonated me and used my public CV 2) there’s a bug in their system that randomly samples DeepMind folks and sends these out 3) a new "Jedi mind trick" recruiting strategy to coax people into the

Nice to see this support for AI research and innovation in India.
It was a privilege to join Hon'ble Minister @dpradhanbjp Ji, Sh. Vineet Joshi, Preeti Lobana, and leading researchers & innovators to announce our support (including grants worth $10M) to the AI CoEs and the Pushpak Bhattacharyya Centre on Indic Language Technologies at IITB.

More echoes of a GPT-4 like leap with Gemini 3 from “high taste testers”, to borrow someone’s phrasing 👀
the Gemini 3 moment seems closer to GPT-4 than any other moment in recent times. So much progress released so suddenly that it's overwhelming. Especially NanoBanana's progress. OpenAI around GPT-4 looked invulnerable , and Google looks invulnerable now with Gemini 3 (+TPUs

Tell me this isn’t insane
You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro. It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)

I was deciding between offers from @Google and Microsoft when moving back to India last Jan. It was still during the “Bard” phase. And Microsoft was flying high with OpenAI. With due respect to MSFT AI folks, my choice was to bet on @GoogleDeepMind’s deeper talent pool. Nearly
