Hosting a private Diwali evening with A.R. Rahman in SF.
- Only 50 people in the room. Curated group of founders, investors and artists.
- I'll be moderating a panel discussion with ARR and @krandiash (founder, @cartesia) on 'future of creativity in the AI age'
- A surprise release by Rahman and @rajavignesh (cofounders of Secret Mountain)
Diwali can't get bigger than this! Super excited.

AI teams overpay for inference twice: once for models bigger than they need, and again for idle capacity they don’t use. @useRouterPlus is the extended inference team for fast-growing AI companies. We test models and providers on your traffic and get providers to compete for your work.
Make your inference better. Go to routerplus.com

483 days ago, @5aitec and I raised $20M from @binnybansal to build ShopOS
Millions of brand images and videos later we learned: the model was never the hard part. Getting it right the 10,000th time is
Today, we’re launching @sloosh_ai to give every creator that secret sauce 👇

Most companies overpay for inference.
On Routerplus, providers bid for your traffic and we get you the best offer for your workload.
You get better latency, throughput, and uptime at a fraction of the cost.
Thinking of open models? Think routerplus.com

Founders: Are you on text with your business customers?
Met with a startup founder who had just been texting his largest customer (which informed him over text that they were rolling out the product more broadly).
Texting with your best accounts is a sign of strong, trusted relationships. In fact, if you're NOT texting, it means that the relationship is not strong enough.
Get on text!

🇮🇳 Starlink will help the least-served in India 🇮🇳
. @Starlink is essential for India, and I hope it will be deployed soon. Its ability to connect directly to devices through satellites could fundamentally expand how internet connectivity is delivered. Also, we need many options, not just to have a choice, but to break the duopoly and ensure fair competition, so that the internet remains not only accessible but also efficient. I request the government to allow it to function in India ASAP.
