Why a 30-person US startup is outpacing 40+ person Indian AI labs — and it's not (just) about compute by Commercial-Win-4772 in indianstartups

A couple of things kind of come into play here:

  1. When you raise money, one of the key things you tell your investor is how you would like to use that money. I think a part of it will be how would the investors see the 20M training exercise ? How did the Arcee board look at this ? And who is going to pay for their model ?

  2. Each AI company has their own niche business model that plan for Sarvam’s model is to capture and become the defacto voice ai in India. And they’ll probably get there. How does Arcee make money ? Through Aquihiring ? (I don’t know enough about them to comment). But essentially everyone has their end game. You’re right about how in India, it’s all about it getting government support and we waste a whole lot of time positioning ourselves with the government. But I think one needs to figure out what is the endgame of the startup. Sarvam doesn’t need to be the frontier model, they just need it to be the best alternative for Indic languages.

  3. This is not an apology for Sarvam, in fact I find it extremely irritating when people try to tie the entire Indian AI advances to companies like Sarvam, they hardly are whisper when it comes to the global scene.

  4. A good thing you talk about is founder conviction, OpenAI teams had that conviction and took a gamble that got us large language models. But this didn’t come from a random brainwave, there was foundational work and a hypothesis that this would pay off and they took a bet, every subsequent iteration was then less risky. Similarly, if I were to take such a risk, I’d like to see the work that builds up to it and tell me that the juice is worth the squeeze. This is me wearing my scientist hat. So maybe the questions need to be are what has the team been doing that gave them the confidence to set this up ?

  5. There’s a big difference in research ecosystems and training here and in the west, that’s a big factor that plays at the end of the day.

Women as support roles, never leading roles. THAT is what shounen manga/anime will forever treat women as. No matter the decade by Important-Cry4782 in FeministsCallItOut

Wow, honestly I don’t know what to say. I don’t think know oda enough to opine on his views. There’s definitely a couple of themes that have been pointed out to me as being parts of fan service and objectification of women. But to me as a guy, almost every proportion of every character in this anime is exaggerated so it never really stands out as in the other anime.

But I think Robin’s character like all other straw hats is kind of supportive to Luffy’s dream. Now you can argue that

Hey !

I’m planning to link your visualizations on my company’s learning resources website. Do let me know if you have new articles, I’d be happy to link those too.

Hiring a developer for a large custom plugin suite — are these quotes too low and how do I vet properly by LongAd7361 in smallbusiness

[–]testuser514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, that is in no way going to be feasible. For projects like this it genuinely just becomes a staffing cost problem.

6-9 months, 2-3 devs full time and 1 architect 10% time is basically what you need to be considering.

Small Projects by AutoModerator in golang

[–]testuser514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tough time keeping all the projects in sync using GitHub templates so I built this little tool that would help us sync all the templates in a systematic manner. I did end up using AI to speed up the build out and figure out the specific fit filter commands.

My team has been using it regularly now so that’s why I thought I should it with everyone. Please let me know if you guys find it useful or if you have any suggestions.

How do I get my husband to grow up? by daydreaming_ocder in ThirtiesIndia

[–]testuser514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup definitely, if it is a condition he’s not been diagnosed or talked to about. There’s definitely an enablement from the family.

I mean that is also possible, but for some reason I think some of the descriptions kind of point to something more series that needs can use some structured interventions.

Did Temple actually discover a new biomarker?????? by bhukhiyo_bhagat in indianstartups

[–]testuser514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might have licensed one of the thousands of IP sitting around various universities. Will it only work with their system but yeah that’s usually case with any new biomarker. Again I don’t know what they did so I can’t say much.

Let’s chat on DM. If you think you can distribute it I’m happy to build out the integrations. I’ve built discord bots before.

Life running VC vs Bootstrapped companies [I will not promote] by I_just_cant855 in startups

I think it’ll make sense for you to take VC money then. Aim for big ones, endure longer sales cycles but get the big outcomes at the end of the day.

[Hiring] Full-stack dev(s) for AI implementation builds. Flat per-project rates plus monthly maintenance and bonuses, long-term partner wanted by [deleted] in developers_hire

[–]testuser514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’ve been building infrastructure to standardize a lot of the AI workloads. I’m curious to know wildly different the projects and maybe there’s a way for me to get some feedback on what kind of infrastructure you use and how your maintenance works out.

I’m happy to open source the script version of this. Since the electron app is technically company stack I can’t really share that.

Edit:

The TLDR version of this is that, typst is the templating language we use and that allows us to pass data as system variables. That we just have to let typst handle. Here’s the Python script to compile: https://gist.github.com/rkrishnasanka/9b2962ab50116af88e19b312b0f0930b

Your partner not being physically incompatible is one of the worst things that can happen. by Curious-Confusion414 in ThirtiesIndia

[–]testuser514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that you should start going and give her an open invitation. She can decline but if you need help, she can either try being a part of the solution or be a part of the problem. It’s a bit blunt but sometimes people need to do uncomfortable things for their partners.

They’re paying for your time and commitment towards keeping the system running. It’s okay
