Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Gnani.ai, an artificial intelligence firm based in Bengaluru, has been selected as one of the core enablers under the ambit of the IndiaAI Mission under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The company will gain strategic access to high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure to develop a multilingual and multi-emotional Large Language Model (LLM) specific to India.
Paving The Way For Sovereign AI
Key initiatives of the project will be an attempt to build what is called 'sovereign AI,' meaning the model's foundational structure and the data powering it would sit within the geographical confines of India. This effort responds directly to the increasing issues of privacy, security, and reliance on digital services from international technology companies. With this in mind, Gnani.ai can counter these challenges by positioning themselves as a trusted and safe AI alternative for Indian businesses.
Gnani.ai co-founder and CEO Ganesh Gopalan has highlighted the value of this initiative pointing out that the funding access grants the government aid computes model development efforts and that makes a considerable difference for fostering domestic model development.
What Makes Gnagni.ai's Model Unique?
With the entire world using models such as GPT-4, Gnani.ai is in the process of building an LLM with features carved out distinctly for the Indian context.
The Role of The IndiaAI Mission
The IndiaAI Mission, with its whopping funding of Rs 10,372 crore, intends to foster a vibrant AI ecosystem in the country. Gnani.ai was one of the first seven applicants to be granted under the ‘AI Compute’ pillar of the Mission. The enterprise will receive inordinately easy access to a high-end network of GPUs, specifically 2,000-3,000 units, which provides the necessary computational resources needed to develop a large scale foundational model.
Enterprise Focus and Future Applications
Compared to other AI sectors, the most emphasis from Gnani.ai is placed on the Business to Business (B2B) market. The organization is set to use its bespoke LLM in the Banking Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) industry, automotive, and healthcare, where high security and context-based voice interaction capabilities would be highly advantageous.
This is a joint venture of Gnani.ai and the IndiaAI Mission which marks an important milestone in the self-sufficiency journey of AI technology in India, engineered to provide sophisticated, safe, and culturally relevant solutions for over a billion people.
