Anshum Gupta reposted thisAnshum Gupta reposted thisNew Apache Lucene release hot off the presses. So excited for this one (like all of them I suppose). Some of my favorites: - Quantization format now uses the OptimizedScalarQuantizer. Something that made me laugh is that now 2 bits of information can provide better recall than the previous scheme using 4 bits! 2x smaller, way (2-3x) faster, and even better recall. - Postings lists blocks for the inverted index are now larger. This shows 10-30% speed improvement in Lucene nightlies over various queries. gotta go fast! https://lnkd.in/e_SCYs54 (see JL) - Better use of doc skippers and handling of sorted data of various queries. Some of Elasticsearch benchmarks show 2-10x (yes a magnitude) improvement on sorted queries on a sorted index. https://lnkd.in/epmv7i2X

Anshum Gupta liked thisAnshum Gupta liked this3 weeks in the Bay Area!! Inspiring conversations with multiple amazing founders, operators, investors, and old friends. As the saying goes, “The future is already here—it’s just unevenly distributed.” As an early-stage VC (and an eternal optimist), here are a few musings that stood out (including obvious ones also!) :) 1. HALO assets (Hard Asset, Low Obsolescence) are having a moment in this AI wave. 2. Compute constraints are real — capacity looks tight through 2027/28. 3. Storage/memory remains undersupplied (next 2 years atleast)… but important reminder that every boom in memory/storage has eventually led to overbuild and a bust cycle 4. Physical AI & robotics are here to stay and seeing massive tailwinds — movement from bits to atoms (physical). 5. Consumer is out of favor (for now) — lack of conviction around $10B outcomes which is tablestakes outcome for valley funds. 6. The Valley funds radical, not incremental — humanoids, hardtech, frontier bets, moonshot application ideas are the norm. 7. Cybersecurity feels like it’s in a “Mythos phase” — signal vs noise still unclear. 8. Enterprise AI demand is vertical — but need to monitor real ARR vs experimental ARR /spends driven by top down board diktats for AI adoption. Upward direction of travel for enterprise is for real though. Also change management in large enterprises for AI transformational projects will not be trivial. Indian IT svcs could reinvent and play in this realm 9. Pure Software faces long-term decay questions — not overnight disruption, but underwriting terminal value and long term free cash flows is getting harder as models keep getting better. 10. SMBs could be massive beneficiaries of intelligence becoming democratized and ubiquitous. "One and done" rounds could be an option for smaller funds to consider and back 11. N=1 personalization could drive the next wave of stickiness in AI products. 12. Serendipity compounds in dense ecosystems — the Bay still has that magic given talent and idea density. 13. India has a shot at leading the Global South in frugal AI innovation—but will need to compete head-on with China. 14. Expect real scientific breakthroughs (drug discovery etc) in the next 12–24 months — frontier models are compressing research cycles dramatically. 15. Jevons paradox may counter the deflationary narrative. era of abundance potentially approaching! 16. Investment alpha = moving from non-consensus → next consensus. 17. Expect enterprise headcount reallocation — from back office to front office (more FDEs, more consultative sales). Net takeaway: I remain optimistic. Humans adapt. We always have. Expect volatility, false starts, and hype cycles. Important to separate signal from noise. Personal reminder: Stay curious. Keep learning. Work hard. Expand the surface area for luck—and let serendipity do its thing :) Photo: Back at the Goldman Sachs building—where I spent time during 2006–2008. Next stop: New York.

Anshum Gupta liked thisAnshum Gupta liked thisThe recent MinIO situation is a reminder: open source doesn’t automatically mean durable. For me, open source has never just been about code, it’s been a career-defining path. A path that started with curiosity — evolving into building search, personalization, and data infrastructure at scale at Apple, Comcast, and Dialpad, co-authoring books on Apache Solr and Reliable Machine Learning — and ultimately being recognized with an EB1A for a deep, sustained commitment to open source. But along the way, one lesson became clear: If critical infrastructure depends on a single company, it’s fragile. No matter how great the technology is. That’s exactly why we chose to donate Apache Iggy (Incubating) to The Apache Software Foundation. Apache represents something bigger than any one team — a model of open, neutral governance that can outlive companies, market shifts, and individual ambitions. Having spent over a decade building with and contributing to Apache projects, this is our way of giving back to the community that shaped us. That same belief led to LaserData — helping companies run data infrastructure at scale on a foundation built to last, while delivering enterprise-grade data capabilities far beyond a traditional “hosted open source” model in the fast-moving AI era. We have a clear and ambitious vision for LaserData Cloud, and this is just the beginning. 🚀 Open source can change lives. Sustainable open source can change industries! #OpenSource #UltraLowLatency #DataInfrastructure #DataStreaming #AgentInfrastructure #DistributedSystems #Rust

Demystifying AI at Stanford Continuing Studies & the HAI AI Index A brief recommendation for two resources: 1. Stanford Continuing Studies - several courses offered online and in person address key demand for AI education for technical leaders, investment leaders and ethicists. https://lnkd.in/gk5MJ2PC. I've attended several rewarding classes here in the past year which expanded my professional network and my knowledge of AI ethics and my ability to track the evolution of the AI industry. In my latest class Demystifying AI, Nestor Maslej treats his class to week-by-week insight at an analytical level not typically available in public news sources. 2. The HAI AI Index - https://lnkd.in/geSqc6Bs - lies at the core of the last course I attended, led by the editor of the AI index (https://lnkd.in/gXu2HkqN). Nestor and the HAI team are looking at the industry in ways that enable meta-viewpoints on progress and capability. I have no affiliation with Stanford - just a grateful review of effective curricula and for gaining the skills needed to peer into & shape our AI future. And sharing an observation on the current era of AI - this is a good time for people who have both technical and legal training to contribute to our AI future.

Google Antigravity exposes the critical flaw in autonomous AI agent architectures: trust based governance at scale. Antigravity represents a major shift in how developers work. Instead of writing code line by line, you delegate entire tasks to autonomous agents that can modify files, run tests, browse the web, and execute changes across your codebase in parallel. The problem? These agents operate on trust, not proof. One developer reported: On Day 3, an agent confidently refactored a utility function and silently deleted a critical edge case check. This is not a bug. This is the inevitable result of autonomous agents operating without cryptographic authority validation. When you have three agents working asynchronously across different files, two critical questions emerge: how do you enforce what each agent is authorized to do, and when multiple agents coordinate on shared resources, how do you maintain isolation between their operations? Policy based guardrails do not work at this scale. I have solved both problems through complementary cryptographic architectures. For individual agent authorization, my 13 layer cryptographic governance system validates AI agent authority mathematically before execution. For multi agent coordination, my YIN COLLAB architecture implements Agent Specific Compliance Tokens with per agent privacy isolation maintaining cryptographic boundaries preventing cross contamination. Every action carries immutable proof of authorization. Every decision boundary is pre validated cryptographically. 26 USPTO patents. 2,330 claims. Validated with 640x timing resistance and 500 plus concurrent agent support with sub 15ms latency. Mathematical proof, not policy promises. For developers using Antigravity, Cursor, or any autonomous agent platform: the question is whether you can prove mathematically that unauthorized operations are impossible and that multi agent coordination maintains isolation. Because as agent orchestration becomes the dominant development paradigm, the liability surface expands exponentially. One misconfigured agent with access to production systems is an organizational failure. One agent leaking sensitive data to another agent through shared context is an architectural vulnerability. Making it mathematically impossible for agents to violate boundaries is the only governance model that scales. Autonomous agents are the future of software development. Cryptographic governance is the only way to make that future safe. https://lnkd.in/ejPREk9D #GoogleAntigravity #AIGovernance #AutonomousAgents #Cybersecurity #AIAgents #DeveloperTools #CryptographicSecurity #ZeroTrust #AICompliance #SoftwareDevelopment #TechInnovation #AIEthics

Mercor, a startup connecting AI labs with domain experts for model training, has raised $350 million at a $10 billion valuation, led by Felicis Ventures V LP with participation from Benchmark , General Catalyst, and Robinhood Ventures. Initially an AI hiring platform, Mercor pivoted to supplying specialized professionals (e.g., scientists, doctors, lawyers) who train foundational AI models, earning the company hourly finder’s fees. It has since expanded into reinforcement learning infrastructure and aims to build a broader AI powered recruiting marketplace. Mercor’s growth accelerated after OpenAI and Google DeepMind reportedly cut ties with Scale AI, following Meta’s $14 billion investment in that company. The firm claims it’s on track to reach $500M ARR faster than Anysphere (Cursor). Currently, Mercor: Pays $1.5M daily to over 30,000 experts earning an average of $85/hour. Plans to focus on: Expanding its expert network Enhancing matching systems Automating internal processes Mercor’s mission is to help AI systems capture economic subtleties, like judgment, intent, and trade offs, that current models often miss. Mercor’s rise signals a powerful new layer in the AI value chain, one that bridges human expertise with machine learning at scale. As foundation models race to master nuanced reasoning and decision making, Mercor’s network of vetted domain experts provides the critical “human feedback infrastructure” these models need to move beyond surface level intelligence. This positions Mercor not just as a staffing platform, but as a strategic enabler of AI evolution, transforming expert insight into structured, monetizable training data. With $500M ARR in sight and deep adoption by top AI labs, Mercor is emerging as a potential “human capital backbone” for the next generation of foundation models, where judgment, ethics, and domain precision become as valuable as compute. #aiinvestment #aiforall #ai

Why Guardrails Are Critical for Safe AI Adoption Generative AI has moved from a research novelty to an everyday reality. Tools like ChatGPT, LLaMA and Gemini are redefining how we write, code and create. But with great power comes great responsibility and that’s where guardrails step in. LLMs are brilliant, but they’re not flawless. They can hallucinate facts, amplify bias, leak sensitive data or even generate toxic content. Left unchecked, these risks can lead to misinformation, legal troubles or loss of user trust. So, what are guardrails? Think of them as AI safety layers programmable rules and systems that monitor and control what LLMs produce. They act during user interaction, filtering unsafe inputs and outputs in real time. A good guardrail doesn’t just block bad content; it ensures outputs are accurate, ethical and compliant. Here’s how the ecosystem looks today: ✅ Llama Guard (Meta) – Fine-tuned on the LLaMA architecture to classify content into predefined safety categories. Flexible for different use cases. ✅ NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails – Uses structured conversational flows with KNN-based intent matching and moderation to keep conversations on track. ✅ Guardrails AI – Adds type and format constraints (e.g., enforcing JSON structures), plus corrective prompting if outputs fail checks. ✅ TruLens – Focused on evaluation and feedback loops to improve context relevance, groundedness, and fairness in RAG-based apps. ✅ Guidance AI & LMQL – Programming approaches that combine logic and generation, letting developers enforce constraints using regex, control flows and real-time checks. Why does this matter? Because attackers are getting creative. Jailbreak attacks, prompt injections, and adversarial queries can still bypass basic safeguards. Some even exploit language patterns or use multilingual prompts to trick models into producing harmful content. Building strong guardrails isn’t just about adding filters it’s about system design. We need: ✔ Multi-disciplinary strategies combining neural and symbolic reasoning ✔ Continuous monitoring and evaluation ✔ Integration across the AI development lifecycle, like safety-critical systems in aviation or automotive (think ISO 26262) The ultimate goal is trust. Businesses, governments, and users will only adopt AI at scale if they believe it’s reliable, fair and safe. Investing in guardrails is not an afterthought it’s the backbone of responsible AI. What's Next? Guardrails need to evolve beyond simple filters. The future lies ✔ Neural + Symbolic Systems working together for deep reasoning ✔ Lifecycle integration-from design to deployment (think ISO 26262 for Al) ✔ Continuous monitoring to detect new attack patterns and biases #AI #LLM #ResponsibleAI #Guardrails #GenerativeAI #EthicsInAI #AITrust

Ruokai Yin, our summer intern from Yale to Microsoft Azure, worked with Xuan Zuo, @Sattwik Deb Mishra, Hokchhay T. and Preyas Shah and me. We published a paper based on his project: https://lnkd.in/eHuG3BSt Summary of paper: Finding optimal sharding is hard especially for large LLMs. A large number of devices have to be divided into TP, PP, EP dimensions. For TP, we have to decide the tensor dimension e.g. head, hidden size to shard for every op. Additionally, TP can be one-dimensional/two-dimensional etc. This makes for a large sharding space that is hard to cover exhaustively. SoTA methods use heuristics to select sharding e.g. GSPMD, Sequence Parallelism, Helix etc. There are significant time gaps, months or years, between the discovery of each of these methods. We want to fast-forward the process of discovery by 1) using a formal representation of the sharding space, and, 2) using reinforcement learning to search the sharding space. This paper demonstrates that our method is 3.5x better than random search, and on par with hand-tuned heuristics when looking only at 1D sharding and without allowing sequence parallelism. We aim to extend the work to multi-dimensional sharding as well as sequence parallelism. Beyond that, we wish to combine the problem of sharding with fusion, tiling and collectives as well.

We are entering the post-GPU-only phase of AI infrastructure. At Punky Tiger Labs, we believe the next performance and reliability gains in inference won’t come from acceleration alone, but from adding a cognitive coprocessor layer designed for persistent state, orchestration, and continuity. This is the thesis behind NYMPH: not replacing existing compute, but extending it where current stacks still lose efficiency and coherence. If you are an investor, distributor, or hardware partner tracking where AI infrastructure is moving next, this is the conversation to watch.

This is what I’ve been waiting to see out of India. For 25 years, India’s tech story was operational leverage - bodies, not products. The unicorns that followed were American business models localized for Indian scale. Emergent is different, winning on product, not labour arbitrage. The shift is that Indian founders are finally building category-defining global products.

🚀 Built to Ship – Hosted by Tyler Postle, Co-Founder of Voker (YC S24) 🎙️ 🎧 Featuring Aizaz Manzar, Chief Agentic AI Product Officer for Sales and Marketing at Amazon Web Services (AWS) In today's episode, I learn why AI isn't failing us—we're just building on shaky foundations. Aizaz shares how 16 years in business roles at Dell taught him that insights without context are meaningless. When he joined AWS 7 years ago, he started building the data infrastructure that would later become the foundation for their agentic AI systems. The problem: Most companies are frustrated with AI because they're using simple chatbot implementations without proper data structures, knowledge graphs, or business context. They expect magic from tech teams alone, but this is a tech + data + business problem. Aizaz's solution at AWS: Build hybrid teams where data engineers understand business, product managers can code, and everyone knows 80% of the business domain. His team owns the full vertical stack—from backend data infrastructure to business context layers to agentic AI products. Key insight: "A good knowledge graph isn't differentiated by technology—it's the business knowledge infused into it that matters."

Attending the Generative AI Summit in Santa Clara today, I had a moment of clarity during the talk by Tript Singh Lamba, Former SVP/CPO of consumer group, Expedia. His session on Product-led Growth in a World of AI underscored a critical truth: AI literacy is now a core hard skill across all tech industry. Whether you’re in product, engineering, or sales, understanding and leveraging AI is no longer optional. • Product leaders must know how to leverage AI to drive growth. • Architects need to navigate a growing ecosystem - Bedrock, Azure AI Studio, Vertex AI, and more - and know when to apply Generative vs. Traditional AI. • Sales teams should embrace AI-powered outreach and value-based selling. • Developers now debate Claude vs. Copilot as passionately as they once debated React vs. Angular. In this fast-evolving landscape, foundational model polygamy is the new normal, and the learning curve is steep. But that’s exactly what makes this moment so exciting. Some will exit. Some will adapt. Personally, I’m here for it. Tript Singh Lamba , thanks again for the inspiring session. And one more thing I’ve noticed - AI events content has really leveled up. Less fluff, more substance.
