How did you train your data?

1

m ·

Key Points:

  • Lovable remains the leader but lost ~7.5 percentage points from its peak.
  • Base44 showed the strongest growth (from 1.6% → 19.0%).
  • Cursor stayed relatively stable around 22–25%.
  • Bolt declined sharply from 13.2% to 4.2%.

  • Fable 5 leads in raw performance but at a very high cost.
  • Composer 2.5 offers the best price-performance ratio, significantly cheaper than frontier models while maintaining strong scores.
  • There is a clear value gap between premium models (Fable, GPT-5.5, Opus) and more efficient ones (Composer, Gemini Flash, Kimi).
1

m ·
  • Zepto has shown the strongest growth, especially from Q3 FY25 onwards, reaching 35% market share by Q4 FY26.
  • Blinkit remains the largest player in absolute orders and has been consistently growing its share.
  • Instamart has steadily lost market share (from ~39% in Q1 FY24 to 19% in Q4 FY26).

The data comes from McKinsey's annual “State of AI” survey, compiled by Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered AI in its 2026 AI Index Report.

It’s important to note that “use” covers a wide range, from a few employees experimenting with AI to it being fully scaled across the organization. McKinsey finds that only around 7% of organizations have fully scaled it.

Google is killing their golden goose, aka google ads.

  • Cumulative hike in just 11 days reached approximately ₹7.50 per litre across most states.
  • The highest % change was in Delhi (7.81%), followed by Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.

  • It took 15+ years of massive investment for Wind + Solar to reach just 3–4% of primary energy.
  • Most renewable growth is concentrated in China. The rest of the world is transitioning even more slowly.
  • We are in the early stages of energy transition. At current rates, fossil fuels will likely still dominate global energy supply well into the 2040s.

  • Most companies lost 80-96% of their peak valuation within 5-10 years.

Maybe try some faceless content for reels with a mix of voice and text. It's about consistency, and gradually the algo will pickup your content and push it in recommendations.

Key Observations:

  • ChatGPT shows the strongest “hockey-stick” retention (starts high and keeps rising).
  • Claude has the most dramatic late-stage recovery (sharp upturn after month 20).
  • Gemini is stable-to-rising but stays below ChatGPT.
  • Perplexity show classic “leaky bucket” behavior; high initial drop-off and low long-term retention.

1

m ·

Yes, this should make things a lot easier for startups to be setup and run.

1

m ·

Are you giving this details for free or are there any upfront charges?

1

m ·

Swiggy is ₹14.99 and Magicpin is ₹14.20 currently.

Swiggy's platform fee of ₹14.99 is including GST, and Zomato's price is pre-GST, and after GST comes to around ₹17.58.

Key Points

  • 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in
  • Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions
  • All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client
  • Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months
  • The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done
  • Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author
  • Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper"
  • When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams
  • Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved
  • When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance
  • Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor

Hey I did create an account. These are the views:

  • The flow seems a bit like slack/discord
  • User profile details is not very customizable
  • Don't have an option to check/change/copy the username or user id details
  • Creating spaces is a bit laggy when clicking on create button (takes a more than few seconds)
  • Same with creating channels too, is a bit laggy. Overall, any action button is laggy (including delete channel/spaces, or adding friends).
  • Discover to add new friends option isn't very open
  • No option to share the url of the spaces, to send it outside the platform
  • No privacy policy, terms of use links for signed up users
  • No user onboarding path or cards to help them to understand what they have to do once signed up

Overall, there is scope to grow and improve. But as this is a closed space, unlike open platforms like reddit where users can see the posted content, you have to target a niche to attract crowd. Discord started with attracting gamers only initially until they grew a sizeable userbase.

  2. Personalized planning: Move past the generic "Top 10" travel lists. Ask Gemini to “Recommend some hidden gems or activities I might enjoy in Chicago."
  3. Tailored recommendations: Looking for something new to read? Ask Gemini to “Suggest a few books I might enjoy based on my interests.”

Like a localized urban clap? It will work surely but places like these are a double edged sword. You need the vendor and customer both registered at the same time.

If enough exposure is done then surely would work, and would wanna try it out for emergencies.
