BHARAT 3D: 3D Land Administration Architecture for India

3D ULPIN Mapping System — From 2D Parcels to Vertical Property Research · Engineering · 3D Cadastre From a 2D Parcel to a 3D Property Our journey towards building a 3D ULPIN Mapping System for representing vertical, underground and elevated property. We started with a simple question: What happens when land is no longer just a flat piece of land? A conventional cadastral map is fundamentally two-dimensional. But modern cities are not. Apartments occupy different floors. Parking can exist below ground. Metro lines can pass beneath properties. Roads can pass below buildings. Tunnels, pipelines and elevated structures can occupy the same geographic location at different heights. This made us realize that the problem was not simply about drawing buildings in 3D. The real problem was understanding how a property identity could be ...

Friday Is Not Just a Friday. It Is an AI Day.

Friday Is Not Just a Friday. It Is an AI Day. The AI industry is moving from models that answer questions to systems that can research, reason, use tools, operate computers, and complete real-world work. Published: September 2026 NVIDIA and Hugging Face — an important development for the open AI ecosystem. Source: NVIDIA. Some Fridays are just Fridays. But this Friday feels different. Friday is not just a Friday. It is an AI day. The AI world is moving so fast that sometimes it feels like we are watching the future being deployed in real time. Multiple parts of the ecosystem are moving simultaneously: frontier models are becoming more capable, computer-use agents are becoming practical, open-source AI is expanding, and GPU infrastructure is becoming an even more important part of the AI stack. What makes this mo...

Beyond the API Meter: Why AI's Next Chapter Is Local

Beyond the API Meter: Why AI's Next Chapter Belongs to Local Hardware and the Engineers Who Build It A perspective on where generative AI is headed — and why the ground is already shifting under the "pay-per-token" model we've all gotten used to. Every few weeks right now, a new AI model lands — from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Moonshot AI, DeepSeek, and a growing list of labs I hadn't even heard of a year ago. Each release claims to be smarter, faster, or safer than the last. But underneath all the noise, one pattern has started to bother me: models that perform almost identically on the same benchmarks can be priced worlds apart. And once you notice that, a much bigger question follows — is the entire "rent intelligence by the token" model even built to last? This post is my attempt to work through that question. It's part observation, part prediction, and part argument for where I think ambitious engineers — myself included — should be poi...

This Week in AI: Cheaper Models, Smarter Agents & a New Race

Tech Changes in the AI Era — End of Week Newsletter Weekly AI Newsletter • Tech Changes in the AI Era When AI Moves, the Whole Stack Moves. This week was not just about new model drops. It was about a deeper shift: assistants are becoming agents, costs are falling fast, and every major lab is racing to control the next layer of AI. By Paladugu Ganesh Naidu End-of-week edition AI • Models • Agents • Security This week’s signal The clearest story this week is not “bigger AI.” It is “smarter systems, cheaper access, and more autonomous behavior.” Apple pushed Siri into a more capable personal assistant, Meta entered the coding-agent race, Microsoft shipped new first-party models, OpenAI doubled down on security and platform cleanup, and Chinese labs kept shipping frontier-class models at a brutal p...
