@rogerfederer Please let us know @christophclarey
After Roger Federer's retirement, I spent several months updating & writing substantial new material for THE MASTER
Delighted to announce a new version of the book will be released for the holiday season on Dec. 12th
For me, it's the definitive version

Today we’re rolling out Gemini 4 Carbon, our strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows.
We’ve poured a lot of love into it, and it’s very good at working through hard problems.
Karthikeyan.N retweeted
Gemini 4 Carbon is rolling out today. It’s built for sustained, long-horizon tasks, reasoning deeply through complex software engineering, cybersecurity, and scientific discovery.
Coming globally via the Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio and Gemini for business, and for Ultra subscribers in @antigravity, the @GeminiApp, and AI Mode in Search.

After my last post about IT roles that AI could impact, I noticed one thing.
The real threat isn't AI replacing every software engineer.
It's AI reducing the number of people required to do certain tasks.
A team of 10 might eventually do the work that previously required 20 people.
And the biggest impact could be on entry-level hiring, because many repetitive tasks are traditionally assigned to freshers.
The question isn't whether AI will replace your job.
It's whether your skills will remain valuable when AI can do 60–70% of your daily work.

We’re delighted to announce that Sashikumar Sreedharan is joining Sarvam as President and Chief Business Officer. He’ll also join our board.
Sashi joins us as our work with customers grows in scale and scope. He’ll lead our business as we bring Sarvam’s full-stack AI platform to more enterprises and governments and deepen our work with developers and partners.
We're excited for what we’ll build together. Welcome to the team, Sashi!

Congratulations to our friends at @googlecloud and @AminVahdat! We’re proud to partner with you, with @AMD EPYC serving as the host processor for TPU 8tx.
Thrilled to share a big milestone from our AI & Infrastructure team at @Google.
Today we’re expanding our 8th generation TPU portfolio with:
• TPU 8i Max: Built for massive context windows and the highest compute density per rack
• TPU 8tx: Purpose-built for secure, confidential inference
This marks the first time we’ve introduced four distinct TPU systems in a single generation, in one year.
For developers, hardware is only as good as the software stack. And we want you to be able to build with TPUs as easily and efficiently as we do at Google. You can now:
↳ Run native PyTorch & Hugging Face models via TorchTPU (zero code rewrites)
↳ Cut KV transfer latency >90% with open-source TPU Sync
↳ Eliminate idle compute waste with Agent Compute Engine
Read more about our newest TPUs on our blog: bit.ly/3VfETPR
I look forward to connecting with builders, researchers, engineers and organizations pushing the boundaries of AI and computing!

Releasing Muse Ember today -- our smallest model that delivers higher intelligence per dollar than others in its class. Built for token-heavy work that agents repeat all day: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, and long document parsing. Available today on the Meta Model API and in Muse Code.

Muse Ember, Muse Spark 1.3, and Muse Wonder are now available on Google Cloud.

I don’t think so , it’s just to utilise the moment to grab more money
Investors and share holders forced the management that’s the reason I believe

One of the person I know -
She spent 9 years designing the chip inside your phone.
She joined Qualcomm at 24. Her parents told the whole family about it. She worked on the 5G modems now inside millions of phones. She's earning ₹70 lakh a year, has a 83000 home loan EMI, and has company stock due to vest next year that she was saving for her daughter's school fees.
Then came a memo from the CEO about a performance-focused reduction.
This year Qualcomm made $13.6 BILLION in profit. Not revenue. Profit.
She is one of the 1,200 people in India could lost her job.
Smartphone chip sales are down 26%.
Apple is building its own modems
The money is moving to AI data centres
Most of these engineers didn't fail.
They built the thing that made Qualcomm a giant. Now the company is moving on from that thing, and from them.
The hard part: India needs chip engineers. There's a global shortage. Many will get hired again. But a 15-year veteran earning ₹1 crore won't easily find another job at that level. Some will take big pay cuts. Some will spend months explaining a gap that wasn't their fault.
Karthikeyan.N retweeted
Qualcomm has started laying off ~1,000 employees in India (Bengaluru first).
India is their largest engineering base outside the US (~20,000 people).
Global cuts of ~7% framed as “performance culture.”
Tech jobs are no longer safe — even at big semiconductor companies.

The postponement of the WTA 250 Chennai Open singles final due to rain and firework-induced air pollution on Sunday evening has raised questions regarding the tournament’s scheduling and the organisers’ preparedness for such a situation.
The contest, which happened to fall on Diwali, was likely to be affected by the air pollution caused by the fireworks and yet, the lack of a clear contingency plan came to the fore 🎇

I'm sorry to say, but this was very badly organised for whatever reason, and I'm amazed at how TVK has let slip a golden opportunity, especially with a sports minister who is passionate about sports.
I was especially flummoxed by the lack of big marketing for this event.
Probably the worst Chennai Open ever. Everything from poor scheduling, low crowd turnout, rains & poor air quality the reasons. No wonder this is the last edition of what is India's only Int'l tennis tournament... @AadhavArjuna @SportsTN_

This is so bad @SportsTN_ @chennaiopenwta , I was there when it rained and i heard an announcement the match will begin in 20 mins.
