India is gearing up to compete with leading nations like China and the United States in artificial intelligence. Under the India AI Mission, the government is developing a homegrown AI model that aims to be more affordable than China's DeepSeek AI. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared this update at the AI Action Summit in Paris, highlighting India's AI vision and the need for regulations to balance AI’s benefits and risks.
India’s Own Large Language Model (LLM)
At the 'AI Maha Kumbh' event in Paris, PM Modi emphasized India's commitment to developing its own Large Language Model (LLM). He highlighted India’s public-private partnership model, which ensures that AI resources remain accessible to the public at affordable costs. According to him, India wants to demonstrate that AI’s future is promising and inclusive.
He also mentioned that AI applications are being developed to serve the public and that India has taken significant steps to ensure AI data privacy. Notably, India has the world’s largest AI talent pool, further strengthening its AI ambitions.
Indigenous AI Model to Launch in 10 Months
Under the India AI Mission, the indigenous AI model is expected to be launched within the next 10 months. Recently, Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav confirmed that India is working on its own LLM. To support this initiative, the country has set up 18,000 high-end Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
Comparing India's efforts with global AI advancements, the minister noted that China's DeepSeek R1 AI was trained on 2,000 GPUs, while ChatGPT leveraged 25,000 GPUs. With more than 18,000 GPUs, India's AI mission is well-equipped to make significant progress.
