It took a few days for the gravity of this to really sink in. The largest acquisition ever by the largest market-cap company in the world. A truly historic moment in AI. TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS. But what makes this one meaningful to me isn’t just the number—it’s the people behind it. I’ve known @sundeep since 2008, when we partnered with his and @avarma's first company and they later invested in mine. Since then, we’ve collaborated on and invested in dozens of each other’s ventures (and counting). Our families have grown close. Over all these years, I’ve had the privilege of watching the journey from a front-row seat—the building, the setbacks, the recalibration, and the relentless focus it takes to do something hard the right way. No shortcuts. Just patient, inspiring, determined, sustained effort. Seeing Sunny and @GavinSherry reach this milestone after everything they poured into it, is deeply gratifying. This outcome is earned in every sense of the word. Moments like this are a reminder that behind every headline is a long arc of trust, perseverance, and belief—built day by day, often far from the spotlight. Huge congratulations to the entire @GroqInc team. This is one for the generational books.
