The most viral moment of the summit: during a group photo with PM Modi, Pichai, and others, Modi lifted hands with surrounding leaders. But Altman and Amodei, standing side by side, both raised fists instead of holding hands. The image went instantly viral across Bloomberg, CNBC, Fortune, and TechCrunch. Altman told reporters: "I didn't know what was happening... I just wasn't sure what we were supposed to be doing." Coming weeks after their Super Bowl ad war, the rivalry has become a physical-proximity narrative.
