normies out there really think if you build another GIFT city india will produce Claude Opus 10.5
This guy from Odisha, India, who loved learning Sanskrit, has now created an engineering AI model better than OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and every frontier model out there.
While the news is to be celebrated and his company congratulated, as Indians we need to feel disappointed that such extraordinary Indian innovators still have to come to the west to innovate.
The ecosystem (universities, accelerators, and funding) and the environment (livable towns, good infra) for such innovation and innovators, while has certainly developed, still needs to improve.
While I'm sure it will in the coming decade, for now, as I have long been calling for, India needs to build a GIFT city kind of dedicated town for tech and innovation in a place with good weather throughout the year.
And also create good incentives for these Indian origin founded companies in the west to immediately open centers in India, sharing back some of the tech they created.
