This Week in All Things AI - Week 34-2025
Greetings friends, Thank you to all those for your kind words after the launch of the inaugural edition of 'This Week in All Things AI' with its quirky acronym TWIATA. It validated to me that there is desire for many amongst us to keep abreast of the rapid changing world of AI tools, products, services and that curators need to work on enabling as wide a distribution for their curation as possible.
Feel free to share this publication link to those in your family, friends and acquaintances who have a curiosity in knowing more about the rapid change in AI.
Surprisingly one of the first challenges I had was determining what week of the year it is. Turns out that there are lot of standards so I decided to stick to the ISO-8601 standard which tells me what day of the week it is when each week's post from TWIATA is sent out.
My current plan is to send it out every Sunday morning.
Below is an answer from Perplexity when I asked what week was today by various standards

I also wanted to take this opportunity to share a Notion page where I've curated a presentation by famed venture capitalist Bill Gurley at the McCombs School at the University of Texas on September 14th, 2018 titled “Runnin’ Down a Dream: How to Succeed and Thrive in a Career You Love.”
I've found this presentation very inspiring and periodically refer to it. I hope that you enjoy this content as much as I do.

Great news for folks in India. 399 rupees is USD 4.5
We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs. 399 per month.
All users in India will now see prices for subscriptions in Indian Rupees, and can now pay through UPI.
Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We’re rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries.

We just shipped Qoder and wow, this feels good.
You know how AI tools nail the demo then completely lose it on your actual codebase? Yeah, we were tired of that too.
So we created Qoder, The next-gen Agentic Coding Platform.

Linear scaling achieved with multiple DeepSeek v3.1 instances. 4x macs = 4x throughput.
2x M3 Ultra Mac Studios = 1x DeepSeek @ 14 tok/sec.
4x M3 Ultra Mac Studios = 2x DeepSeek @ 28 tok/sec.
DeepSeek V3.1 is a 671B parameter model - so at its native 8-bit quantization.
