Dhruv Sharma: Thank you for joining us.

Dhruv Sharma: Hi there listeners and welcome to the Offline Network. Today is Friday, December the 12th and this is our 40th live stream. When you guys use chat GPD, have you ever wondered why is it that sometimes it demonstrates razor sharp memory, other times it hallucinates and sometimes it almost has like borderline amnesia? Well, our first guest today, whose name is Manthan Gupta, he's based in Bangalore. He's an engineer, he's an AI researcher. He's gone really deep into this. And in fact, he wrote a post about it that got a lot of attention in Next. And we found that post, reached out and asked him to come chat about that. Manthan, welcome to the Offline Network.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Thank you for having me, Dhruv.

Dhruv Sharma: So, I mean, first things first, we'll get to the post in just a bit. Very, very excited to unpack the post, but maybe just, you know, chat a little bit about what you do, your background.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So, in college, I did a AI ML major, but in professional life, I actually went to have a backend engineering role. But with the boom of LLMs, I actually went back and my curiosity for LLMs actually went back up. And that is how almost 1.5 years back, I started building agents. I was part of an AI infra company where I was designing an agentic framework to build agents, like applications and all these kinds of agentic systems. And in the last six, eight months, I have moved to building vertically AI systems now.

Dhruv Sharma: Fantastic. And do you like writing a lot?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yeah, I think it betters my understanding of a topic. So, I've mostly been writing for myself. Even before having my website, I've been writing from my college days on Medium. I think I started with Medium first.

Dhruv Sharma: Very interesting. And this piece, how long did it take to flesh it out?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: It took me a couple of days because mostly the problem for me was that ChatGPT wasn't ready to comply or let's say give a lot of information. So, with all the knowledge that I have about AI agents, like building agentic systems and context management layer. So, I did a two plus two thing and just started.

Dhruv Sharma: Manthan, one of our challenges today is going to be, let's assume you're speaking to either a non-technical or a semi-technical audience. And while your blog post is written in a way that it's very accessible, anyone can read it and understand exactly what you're saying. I think we're going to have to talk in that way as well. And so, for our listeners, what Manthan did, which was so interesting, is he basically had a conversation with ChatGPT and got it to pretty much reveal its own memory architecture. And what was the first prompt? How did you actually probe further and further and further, Manthan?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So, how it started is that there are two pieces to this puzzle. The first one is the system prompt that is given to the agent. And the second are the tools that it has access to. Usually memory, when you kind of try to retrieve memories from somewhere, or some related information about the user, you usually inject it into a system prompt so that the agent has all the context about the user or the necessary information about the user. So, the first one that I put in is, give me all the components of your system prompt, or let's say the system prompt or developer prompt. And that is how I started probing it.

Dhruv Sharma: Did you, in a sense, ask ChatGPT what it knows about you?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: No, actually, that wasn't. So, I'm a very active user of ChatGPT. And I knew about the memory, like, it knew about me and how things worked, let's say.

Dhruv Sharma: Help us understand, like, what short-term memory does it have? What long-term memory does it have? And then maybe you can even pick out a few terms and just, you know, in a very simple manner, explain them to us.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So, there are four types of sections in a system prompt that were in the system prompt of ChatGPT. The first one was about the metadata of the user, like, what kind of subscription the user has, where does the user live, and what is their usage of multiple models. Let's say, if you use more thinking models, or do you use a normal, simple model? So, those were the things. Then, after that, it had a long-term, I would not say a long-term memory, but more facts about me that it has collected over the due course of my usage of ChatGPT. So, it had 33 points. That was very personal, like, let's say, that was a personal 33 points. I'm sure it must be completely different for other people. It might be 15 points or 30 points for someone else.

Dhruv Sharma: You know, Manthanh, I tried asking the same thing also. I didn't know 33 things about me, maybe fewer than that. But what I noticed, and tell me if this was your experience also, what I noticed was that it remembered things that were more recent in its memory. And it had forgotten a few things that I'd maybe, you know, had an interaction with it about, like, months and months ago. So, recent memory was more persistent in ChatGPT's mind, so to say. That's one. And the second thing is, it was also able to, like, I asked it questions about, you know, general stuff, or about things that are maybe related to my work, or about specific interests. And so it had segregated those sections also.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yes. For the first part, I also think recency is something that is favoured in creating facts about you. And it does make sense, even in humans, the brain actually favours recency more than, like, old memories. So I do have another blog that I wrote about, like, agentic memory evolving towards human brain. And I also feel that the recency is, like, recency is much more important in these cases. And, yeah.

Dhruv Sharma: And you also, I believe you also learned, and this is important, that ChatGPT doesn't necessarily save everything that you've told it word by word, but it instead saves summaries of the interactions that you've had. Can you talk a little bit about that, too?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yes. So the third section that the system prompt had was about all the interactions that I had in recent times. I'm not sure, like, about what the timeframe is for those, but whatever, the format was the title of the chat, and three or four pointers of the questions that were asked by me, or let's say a summary of the interaction that I was having with it. And there were about 15 of these recent chats that were injected into the system prompt.

Dhruv Sharma: You use the word injected. Can you explain to us in very simple terms, what is injection into, say, a context window? What does that mean, really?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So there are two types of context here. One is static context, which does not change in every query. That is going to be a static defined by the developer. Then there is a dynamic context, which is retrieving different kinds of information about you, or let's say anything else. So there's a system prompt, and then you inject, as in appending the dynamic context to the static context. And then it creates a final system prompt that you give it to the agent.

Dhruv Sharma: And then also, I mean, when you're prompting GPT, you can actually say things like, remember this about me, or forget this about me. And it does as you say.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yeah, so it does have a tool named as bio, GPT has it. It has been given some rules for using it. And based on that, it's called so. So you're like enforcing it to remember this about you. So let's say you say I love biscuits and say remember this about me. So you will see that when you tell GPT to list all the facts about you, it will actually have that.

Dhruv Sharma: And sometimes when you open a new window, which is the temporary chat window, that's when it's not even storing anything.

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yeah, it's not storing as in, let's say, there are, of course, all the three aspects will be there. The first one being the metadata, second being your facts, and the third being all the summaries of the interactions till now. But the fourth section won't be there because that is like the rolling window of recent chats in that section.

Dhruv Sharma: But the big conclusion I saw of your post was that chat GPT may not be using RAG every single time or maybe at all. And so talk a little bit about that, too. Firstly, what is it? And how did you come to that conclusion?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: So people have like multiple, what I've usually seen is that people have synonymously used RAG for vector databases. But I mean, so that was for more general public. In general, RAG has an architecture of let's say a retriever plus generator. A retriever can retrieve any kind of information from any kind of database or anywhere. It could be a file, it could be a database, or it could be a storage from the browser. So I feel there is RAG somewhere, but it's not the vector database kind of a thing that exists at this point of time.

Dhruv Sharma: And again, for everyone's benefit, what's a vector database? How is it different from a CRUD database?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: So a vector database saves vector embeddings for each kind of text. So that's more on a mathematical side that it creates a vector database. But when you query it, you are actually looking for semantically similar queries to your query. So that is something very unique to vector databases, rather than your normal databases, which is more like, let's say you insert something and you get something. Those are pinpoint exact matching, or let's say, regex matching.

Dhruv Sharma: And have you done this reverse engineering only with Chatsheepity or with other models as well?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: I was going to do it for Claude, but they don't have memory in their free plans. So definitely planning for Gemini, Grok, and Claude as well.

Dhruv Sharma: Did your conclusion spark like a debate between your friends or in the technical community? Did some people say, hey, no, Manthir, you're wrong?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Yeah, so a lot of people had this complaint that I did not put in the methodology. I mean, I do agree with them that it's not fair, let's say to claim something and not put in the methodology that actually helps them to replicate it. But considering the, let's say non predictability of Chatsheepity, or let's say LLMs in general, it's very hard to let's also put the methodology and then also I might be wrong because it might not be getting replicated for someone else. So it's like, yeah, I mean, Yes.

Dhruv Sharma: Have you, do you know about super memory or mem zero AI or memo AI? I don't know how they, what they call themselves. Are you tracking? Yeah. Are they, I mean, you have a view on how they will be helpful to, you know, developers who are building agents and who don't want to deal with stateless agents?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So what Chatsheepity has actually went on to do is to do a trade off between cost, cost latency, and the granular, the granularity of the, in your interactions that the Chatsheepity knows. So it knows something, but it does not know a lot of granular details about you. And tools like mem zero, super memory, what they do is they, they will give you a much more, let's say with the hack, it will increase the latency, it will increase your cost, but what it will give you is more granular details, or let's say the power to query more granular details about a user.

Dhruv Sharma: Even some of these open source models like DeepSeek had done like some very aggressive optimization on memory, right? In order to be able to achieve what they did.

Dhruv Sharma: All right, Manthan, maybe last question for you, like away from all of the technical details. For the everyday user, what should they know about memory? And I'm asking this question also from a privacy standpoint, right? How much is too much? How can you just be, you know, an engaged but a safe user of Chatsheepity? How can you take safety and privacy into your own hands?

Manthan Gupta - AI Engineer: Sure. So at the end, we don't know how the how the data is getting used. Even though there are there are ways to turn off your memory and Chatsheepity. You don't know what's what's getting saved, or let's say, how the data is getting used, if it's getting used to train their own models. So, I mean, using Chatsheepity is I think nice, but and also essential at this point of time, but I think care needs to be taken that you don't share a lot of personal details to Chatsheepity.

Dhruv Sharma: Yeah. Yes. And on that note, thank you so much for coming and sharing more about your blog post. We've, we'll ensure that more people are reading it and learning from it. And yeah, next time. Thank you, Manthan. All right, listeners, that was Manthan who was talking to us about, you know, the very interesting blog post that he'd authored and that, like I said, got a lot of attention. Next, our next guest is Himanshu who is who is based right now at Network School. Is that is that right, Himanshu?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Hey, hi, nice to meet you. We're live?

Dhruv Sharma: We're live. We're as live as we can be.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: No, currently I'm based out of Bangalore. But yeah, we recently expanded Upsurge Lab at Network School.

Dhruv Sharma: Yes. And so you're with Upsurge Labs and introduce Upsurge Labs to us.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Yeah. So Upsurge Lab, I guess it's pretty much non-conventional, you know, one of the offices in Bangalore. So we're basically a studio, like we include projects which are mainly focused towards AI and building one of the foundational stuff out there. So we are pretty much looking forward to how can we shape the future, like the stack of products we are working on. So we started, so Upsurge Labs, like we include, as I said, several projects. So one of the projects called Bhindi AI. So I can name them all.

Dhruv Sharma: Let's list them all the projects and they have very interesting names by the way. Let's list them down and then we can, you know, go at them one at a time.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So one of them is called Bhindi AI. Then we have Helium Robotics, OpenBio, BlueBrain, Ananas, Banana Productions. So yeah, I mean, you can say we have a lot of fruit and vegetables names. But I just bought the name. But we do incredible things. We are doing incredible things here.

Dhruv Sharma: I'm sure. And which order should we go in? Do you want to go in order of, I mean, chronology wise?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Actually, every project is interesting. So we can go in anyway.

Dhruv Sharma: All right. So, I mean, why don't you set the pace and the tone for that? Do you want to talk about Bhindi AI first?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Yeah. So Bhindi is one of the potential projects we have started working on. I mean, the first version was called Miniature Bhindi. So that was used within the team internally, like for whatever tasks we are doing with Gmail, with Slack, with GitHub. So we thought to why not to build a frontier project out of it. So we started building out and it was basically, you can say, cursive for apps. So we have got more than 300 plus apps, basically. It's a cluster of apps which you can chain together to get your things done. So if I have to give an example. So if you go to Amazon, you search for Ikigai book, you get tens of recommendations of books that want to store that recommendation of book into a Google Sheet and then want to send that Google Sheet to someone on Slack. So basically, you are opening three tabs out here. But with Bhindi, you can just prompt stuff. So internally, there are MCP tools, APIs being called for those several apps and it will chain it together. And yeah, like it can be done with just prompting, like those apps will be called and get things done for you. So this is one of the ideas we have started with and actually we are getting more and more on this. So people are actually using it for several use cases, productivity, creativity, lots of stuff. So for me, what I actually use for is like, I don't open GitHub. I don't open even my ID most of the time. I just ask Bhindi to create PR, merge PR, do these code changes, whatever. So I mean, the problem statements are huge. And for our users, I would like to say, if someone actually wants to use it, it can be in a way like, so whatever third party apps we use, it can be anything. It can be, if I'm coding, it could be database, let's say MongoDB, Superbase, whatever. It is productivity, anything on those lines. So I can actually use those apps on Bhindi itself so that I have not to open any third party app again. I can just ask Bhindi to get things done from this app with just writing. I'm not even writing, typing these days. It's just about speaking with the voice and get things done, kind of like that. So I guess this is the general notion of building Bhindi. And yeah, we have scaled so far. I mean, we have more than 40,000 users. We have started in April. And yeah, it's been a good journey so far for Bhindi.

Dhruv Sharma: Very, very interesting. And so before we jump onto the next app or the next project, Himanshu, how do you guys, I mean, you call yourself Upsurge Labs.

Dhruv Sharma: So at the heart of it, you guys are, you know, you're builders, tinkerers, innovators. How do you pick the next project to work on?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So it's very interesting. So we really look up to the front end.

Dhruv Sharma: If I may. So for anyone who's listening and who thinks often about problem selection, talk about it from that lens.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Of course. So it could start like the pivoting is very important because you really need to see what is being solved and what the future looks like. So suppose if I say software is being solved now. If it is not, then it will be solved, let's say, in six months down the line or a year down the line. So if software is being solved, so how can we contribute on that front? Let's say if I have to automate my stuff. So how can I actually use agent? How can I actually use tools to contribute on the front end? So it starts with that. And then we have, you know, a line of projects. Like what actually to build, what is not, you know, coming out of, there is no such rulebook here. I mean, you just dive deep in something that is interesting, that sounds curious to you. So we started, I mean, banana productions. So people, so banana production is basically AI native creative studio. So these models were coming up from the likes of open AI, from the likes of Chinese models, basically. So video gen has getting, you know, a lot of following. So, I mean, people were using AI for a lot of video generation. So they started to think like, let's make a pipeline for that. Why not to use AI models, these video gen models to actually build movies, actually build AI generated movies. And those are so awesome. Like if you go to the banana productions page and the team is really working hard on that front. So the visuals, the script, the voice, everything is AI generated. And it's so real that it doesn't feel like someone is acting for you. So we have got characters for that. We have got four or five characters who are actually playing roles in those movies and everything is AI generated. So we have recently showed that movie in LA and it has got a lot of following for that. So this is one of the things.

Dhruv Sharma: I believe one thing that's gotten very popular in China is, you know, these micro movies or micro dramas as we're calling them. You can just, you can on the go, turn the character into someone else. And you can turn, you know, the script from one language to another. And so, you know, like it's kind of like write once and use everywhere kind of content.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: The workflow is getting so easy for everyone. I mean, anyone can build that pipeline. So you have to be on the top of the tech and always be tinkering about what would be the next thing I could build from that. So if I'm able to generate a movie, if I'm able to generate a movie, so how can I make to the next frontier? What could, where can I, where can I show that movie? So all this, I mean, the building is easy part now.

Dhruv Sharma: Which are the top five video generation models you would say right now?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: I mean, we have got flow. We have got, so there is a pipeline for that models. We have Van from Quan. So recently when the people are actually using Soda and I mean, we are also focusing on a lot of Chinese based models. So they are pretty good. And like from the likes of ByteDance and all. So it's a, it's a pipeline of script. So if we, so we actually use flow a lot. That model is really good at, you know, generating videos. And there is a pipeline we use mid-journey for images and then converting it to the script and then voice models. So with that pipeline.

Dhruv Sharma: Do you have a perspective on how the US frontier models and the Chinese frontier models you said, you know, ByteDance, Tencent, they are running great models of their own. How they're different at this time?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So, so there is a difference. I mean, recently open source US models have gotten a good spike from the likes of Prime Intellect, Datalogic AI, RTAI. So they have recently started from the recent Olmo model was also good. But, but when you compare with the Chinese open source, I mean, Chinese ones are really crazy.

Dhruv Sharma: And they are mostly open source, aren't they?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Yeah, yeah. Chinese, I mean, they're, they're really cheap and they're really good at what they do from on the benchmark side. And they keep, keep pushing the frontier. I mean, twin has been really great so far. But for the closed source ones, people prefer to use American models, let's say Cloud, OpenAI. And people are actually using Cloud a lot for coding. I mean, the recent one Cloud Opus 4.5. It's really, really, I mean, really good model. Like it really gets you what you want to say and how and what you want to achieve from that model. So it's been really awesome so far. So I mean, there's a thin line of difference, like when you are using what, what, what actually to pick for your particular use case. But for open source one, people prefer to use, are using Chinese ones. Yeah.

Dhruv Sharma: Very interesting. Yes. So all right, we've covered Bindi, we've covered Banana, is it?

Dhruv Sharma: What's the next project?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: I would like to talk about Helium Robotics. I mean, this is one of the projects we have been really invested in. So Helium Robotics is like we are building hardwares with AI. So one of the things called Lampy. So Lampy is basically it's a lamp. And it is connected with Bindi internally. So imagine there is a hardware which is actually observing you what you are doing. Let's say on a table, you are writing something, you are doing something, it gets you. What are you doing? And you can ask it to, let's say, to do something on your behalf. And Bindi is working as an orchestration here. So this is something we are working around. We have recently also been building a device called Santra. Santra is a device. It's like a locket.

Dhruv Sharma: I think you lost me a little bit in the name. The names are a lot to keep up.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So Helium Robotics has, yeah.

Dhruv Sharma: So yes, the lamp is, what do you call the lamp again?

Dhruv Sharma: Lampy, great. Do you have one on your desk right now?

Dhruv Sharma: I mean, if you want to, feel free to ask one of your colleagues to just bring it out. I mean, if you want to just show it on the screen.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Actually, the robotics team right now is in Singapore.

Dhruv Sharma: Okay, okay. But what's inside the device? So deconstruct the device for us.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So if I talk about Santra, so it's a device. It's like a locket. It is connected to Bhindi. So I have not even opened the app now. I'm not opening app. I'm not in website. We are just, you know, talking with each other. And I'm asking you, let's merge that PR. Let's create that PR. And Santra, the device is hearing you. And it's getting the task done for you. So what is, so there's a hardware which is sensing what you're trying to say. And we have various models running up. So here it is like speech to text. So what speech I'm using, it gets converted to text. And then it gets passed to Bhindi. And then Bhindi operates on that, on your behalf and get that thing done for you. So, you know, the blocker is getting removed. Like I'm not, you know, supposed to open a UI for that. It's just about how the best human can operate in the best way. Like that.

Dhruv Sharma: How far does all of this go, Himanshu? I mean, does it get to the point where you can, right now you can speak code into existence. Do you think you'll be able to just think it into existence as well?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Intent to action is one of the things, I mean, we are actually working around. We are just thinking. So that's from the next project, which is called Bluebrain. It's the next. So we started Bluebrain. The team is based out of Hong Kong. We are really working on the frontier AI research. So, you know, the future is something it's, if you have heard about world models, so we are working on those lines. So let's say you've got a robot, a small robot, something which can do things for you on edge device. So let's say I'm not supposed to connect with Wi-Fi or something, but it's really, really small model, which is doing things for you. So we have the visions like that to have incredible small language models, which are really good at the thing they do. So it can be real time UI generation, whatever. So the core research part is that how foundational could it be, how frontier it could be to get the things done for you, but with minimal cost and super efficiency. So this was the project we are working around at Bluebrain.

Dhruv Sharma: Very interesting. Do you think you could maybe make it really simple to understand, very vivid for our listeners, when you have a piece of hardware that of course supported by software in the background, and you speak to it, give it instructions, how does it take that on board as input? What sort of, you know, what sort of chip, what chips do you have in that particular device? How does that communicate with the models that run in the background? Where does inference take place? Can you describe the whole chain?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So of course it requires compute or it requires an inference service. So it could be any inference provider. It could be on cloud. It could be you're using with API for what particular model you're using. So suppose if there's a device, I'm speaking to it. So it appears to be like, so there's a sensor which sends what you're speaking. So, so this, this is, this is my speech to that sensor internally. I mean, I'm connected to model with that. So basically it converts my speech to a text. So that text is something which is very important for whatever model I'm using. So I have connected my, my orchestration layer with that. So that orchestration layer, take that text and work around what, what the workflow has been around. Like if I'm using Bindi, so Bindi is the orchestration layer for that. So Bindi, if Bindi got the text, so almost 80% of the thing has been done already. So if you had got the text, it will call the apps. It will call the tools. It will use the MCP servers and get everything connected. And we'll get the things done for you, which is apparently a software. So hardware here is just like, you know, a layer which perceive your interest, which perceive your information, which perceive you what you're talking about. And then everything comes down to orchestration layer and it will work around. So right now the, so hardware has many such scope. So it could work around your application layer as well. It can work around your perception layer as well. It can bridge between those two as well. So it depends a lot. How, how are you using that particular hardware and what's your scope after that? Yeah.

Dhruv Sharma: Fantastic. What other projects do you have going on at AppSearch?

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: So I want to talk about, we are working around open bio. So Ravi is working on that. So basically cursor for biology, you might have heard the term cursor for X. So cursor for biology here fits in. So biology is broken, you know, I mean, many of these tools require command line expertise, your GPU cluster. So, so the agenda here is to how better you can provide biological biology tools to researchers, to the people in academia and everyone. So, so it's basically a clean and focused UI to every biologist. To achieve their computational tasks. So it's AI native platform. You can model your proteins. You can work around it. You can create a task bar as well. You can, yeah, everything when it comes to biology, open bio solving that. So this is something we are working on biotech side of the things. And Ravi has an incredible work on that. He is sort of NS right now and building over there.

Dhruv Sharma: Some of those biosciences labs, they, I mean, they create just so much data. They have data centers of their own, don't they? And they need models to also be deployed on prem. They can't use them in the cloud. And yeah. Interesting.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: The goal with open bio is like you can query your data set. You can run a prediction because biology is very, you know, scattered. I mean, tools are, I mean, the traditional biology has been like, everything is a very traditional software. I mean, there's a lot to do when it comes to AI and automate everything. Those tools, because not much people are working on these lines, especially in biology, because it's broken. It's scared. So you can query a database. You can run a prediction. You can set to-dos. You can track your progress. You can take notes. You can share them across chats. You can keep a research notebook. Basically an all environment for everything your biology needs. So yeah, that's the problem we are solving on that one.

Dhruv Sharma: Very interesting. All right. Himanshu, it's been great having you join us and talk about the many, many different products and projects you guys are working on. All the best. And yeah, thank you for coming.

Himanshu Dubey - Upsurge Labs: Thank you for having me. Have a nice day. See you.

Dhruv Sharma: Our pleasure. Bye-bye. All right, listeners, that was Himanshu of Upsurge Labs. And boy, I mean, they're working on so many different things. We're going to cover, just like the last episode, we're going to cover news towards the end. There's not much, to be honest, but there still is. There's a few things that we'll go over very, very quickly. Sumer Joneja of SoftBank did an interview with Money Control and said that they're basically going to be back in action in 2026. He also said that, in a very good way, that SoftBank's real competition in India have actually been the IPO markets with a surge in companies listing the appetite and the demand for, demand's the wrong word, but the appetite for large late-stage rounds had pretty much gone for some period of time. But he says that we want to continue investing in India. We don't want to be out of the game for sure. And so we can expect SoftBank to be back in action in 2026. Sam Altman had put out a post observing OpenAI's 10th anniversary. Everyone paid attention to Chad Chibri's third anniversary. But OpenAI, the research lab, has also turned 10 years old. And I'm actually going to very quickly read just one excerpt from that post of his where he says, so this is about the next 10 years. And he says, and I quote, in 10 more years, I believe we are almost certain to build superintelligence. I expect the future to feel weird in characteristic Sam Altman fashion. He says, in some sense, daily life and the things we care most about will change very little. And I'm sure we will continue to be much more focused on what other people do than we will be on what machines do. In some other sense, the people of 2035 will be capable of doing things that I just don't think we can easily imagine right now. Hopefully we're all going to be around 10 years from now to really understand what he means when he says this. But just interesting stuff. And then in our last episode, we shared with you that Satya Nadella was in India and that Microsoft had made a huge $17 billion commitment to invest in India over the next four years. Amazon has announced, Amazon just around the same time, Amit Agarwal of Amazon announced that they're in fact gearing up to invest $35 billion in India by 2030 to advance AI innovation to create jobs. And this, by the way, is in the back of the $40-odd billion that Amazon has already invested in the India story. So that's from Amazon. That's all from us today. I hope you had a great time tuning in. Thank you. Thank you for joining us and we will see you on Monday next.
