NEW DELHI: India is broadening its efforts to develop AI foundation models. After Sarvam AI, the government on Friday selected three more teams – Soket AI, Gan AI, and Gnani AI – for building indigenous AI models. IT and electronics minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the country has 367 data sets loaded on AI Kosh. “So the app ecosystem is also now developing. In a sense, the entire ecosystem is now getting built.” Govt has also announced the availability of 16,000 more GPUs, which would take the compute facility available to startups and researchers to 34,000.Vaishnaw said significant progress was made on the India AI Mission, with a focus on the “democratisation of technology”. The compute facility, supercharged with 34,000 GPUs, will enable India to develop the AI ecosystem in a big way.“I would like to make some mention about the three teams that were selected today. Like Sarvam, these three teams also have a very big target ahead of them. Whichever sector they focus on, they must be among the top five in the world,” Vaishnaw said.
