i have been reading **atomic habits** recently.
it is one of those books that feels simple on the surface but keeps lingering in your mind long after you close it. the core idea is almost obvious onc...
there is a moment you sometimes notice in certain founders.
it is hard to describe, but once you see it, it is unmistakable. a certain intensity in the way they talk about what they are building. not...
there is a strange pattern you start noticing once you spend enough time building systems.
most infrastructure does not fail loudly. it fails quietly.
the dashboard still works. the demos still look...
i used to think perseverance was mostly about willpower.
grinding longer. caring more. pushing through when everyone else drops off. that story is appealing, especially when you are young and buildin...
i almost left this blog estranged.
not intentionally. just the usual founder entropy. things move fast, writing feels slow, and somehow months pass without noticing. but i want to write more. partly ...
im in a week where exams, new architectures, and my brain all collapsed at the same time
every exam season feels like a cosmic joke. i’m trying to force myself to memorize notes that already feel obs...
there’s this strange in-between phase you enter sometimes as a founder. not the grind phase, not the chaos, just the in-between. it’s when you’re not moving backward, not quite moving forward either, ...
yesterday morning i woke up to a tweet about the AWS outage. nothing major for us at SAGEA on the surface, our models were running fine, our infra seemed stable, but watching the chaos ripple through ...
every time i open my laptop lately, it feels like the screen itself hums with noise. news, opinions, model releases, funding rounds, drama, metrics, benchmarks, leaderboards. it’s endless. everyone se...
yesterday morning started like every other chaotic sagea day. i was staring at a server log, trying to figure out why one of our experimental MoE models kept failing halfway through inference. it's ho...
i’ve been thinking a lot about bubbles lately. the hype cycle, the money chasing the story, the press coverage, the endless articles about what’s next. there’s something intoxicating about it, and the...
it’s been a while since i wrote one of these. a proper blog, a long one, not just an update or a snippet. finals ended. practicals are over. the semester is about to start again, and somehow it feels ...
im keeping this short.
so, deerhack happened. we went. we built. and we won.
it still hasn’t fully sunk in, honestly. we weren’t thinking about winning. we just wanted to show what we’ve been workin...
a weird thing happens when you're building something real. people start looking at you like you know what you're doing. you probably don’t. not fully. and that’s okay.
i used to think leadership was ...
it’s been a while since i last wrote one of these. sixth semester just started, and it hit me the other day—i’m gonna be done with undergrad in a year. maybe a bit more, but still. kinda surreal.
i’v...
finals are done. practicals wrap this sunday. in a few days, i’ll be in a new semester, but right now, i’ve got this rare stretch of time—one week of no classes, no exams, just space. and i’m using it...
l1 is out—and the world noticed.
when we open-sourced it, we didn’t run ads. no launch event. no hype train. just a simple model, built to be fast, light, and open to everyone. we pushed it to huggin...
i’ve been heads-down on something big, and it’s time to let it loose. me and my co-founder ujjwal just announced sagea, our new company building ultra-efficient ai for voice, language, and vision. it’...
i’ve been thinking a lot about what’s next, and it’s finally clear. i’m starting sagea, a company to build ultra-efficient ai across voice, language, and vision. it’s designed to scale and feel alive,...
my head’s buzzing with code and possibilities. rn i’m splitting my time between my sde job, uni, and what nexora(or something else) might be —though i’m not sold on the name yet. work’s been intense, ...
i’m splitting my time between my sde job, uni, and this thing i’m calling nexora—though i’m not sold on the name yet. work’s been intense, and it’s got me questioning what i want to build next. here’s...
I’m squeezing in another post today because i’ve been thinking a lot about Apparatus.ai. i wrote last time about how we got acquired, which was wild for a scrappy startup i started in 2024. rn, as i’m...
Okay, so I’ve been telling myself I’d start writing stuff down for months, but life’s been a blur. It’s finals season, which means I’m buried in problem sets, cramming for exams, and trying not to los...
