AI: 3 More Startups to Build Indigenous Foundation Model .. Outlook Business .. 31 May 2025
Extract :
IT Minister Ashwini
Vaishnaw said significant progress has been made on India AI Mission, with
focus on democratisation of technology.
At the same time, three
more teams -- Soket AI, Gan AI, Gnani AI -- have been
selected for building indigenous artificial intelligence foundation models.
"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.
Put simply, foundation
models in generative AI are large, pre-trained models that form the base for
a variety of AI applications.
The Minister further said
that 367 datasets have already been uploaded to AI Kosh.
Vaishnaw emphasised that
these efforts are aimed at building a complete and inclusive AI ecosystem in
India.
In April this year, Sarvam AI was selected to
build India's first indigenous AI foundational model, marking a key
milestone in the country's AI innovation ecosystem
Soket AI will develop open source
120 billion parametres foundation model optimised for the country's
linguistic diversity targeting sectors such as defence, healthcare, and
education.
Gan AI will create 70 billion parameters of multilingual
foundation model targeting capabilities to surpass the current global
leader.
Gnani AI will build a 14 billion
parameter Voice AI foundation model delivering multilingal real-time speech
processing with advances reasoning capabilities.
Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder
and CEO of Gnani.ai, said in a statement, "We are honoured to be selected
under the IndiaAI Mission to develop large language models that truly represent
India's linguistic diversity. At Gnani.ai, our mission has always
been to make technology more inclusive and accessible".
Gopalan further said
Gnani.ai is keen to "lead the way in developing voice-to-voice large
language models for India and the world, because we believe transformative AI
must speak the language of the people it serves".
