I've been inspired by Samay's thoughtfulness, drive, and energy — not to mention technical rigor — for many years. Excited to get to work more closely and learn from all that Samay @ the Holdings team create!. They're hiring engineers :-).

More than productivity or AI or startups, the people I love having in my life and who inspire me create with the belief that technology is shaped by humans for humans, and that human touch is everything. Very happy & excited to see @SarvasvKulpati continue to build his vision🌈.

More sophisticated LLM systems will not kill RAG in the same way that PageRank never killed BM25/FTS (and many things that came after has not killed PageRank). All good systems effectively use all of the above, in rigorous and balanced ways.
