IndiaAI Mission
Context
India’s compute capacity has surpassed 34,000 GPUs, and three new startups have been selected under the IndiaAI Mission to build indigenous Foundation Models, marking a key milestone in India’s roadmap to develop a sovereign AI ecosystem.
1. IndiaAI Mission:
- IndiaAI is an Independent Business Division under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
- The mission aims to democratize access to AI, foster technological sovereignty, ensure responsible AI use, and build indigenous capacity across foundational models, compute, datasets, and applications.
2. Compute Infrastructure Expansion
- India’s national AI compute capacity has crossed 34,333 GPUs (from 18,417 earlier), with 15,916 GPUs added recently.
- This cloud-based compute infrastructure is crucial for training and inference of large language models (LLMs).
- Seven empanelled industry partners include:
Cyfuture India, Ishan Infotech, Locuz Enterprise, Netmagic IT, Sify Digital, Vensysco Technologies, Yotta Data Services.
3. Foundation Model Development
- The IndiaAI Foundation Model Pillar supports creation of indigenous LLMs using India-specific data.
- Three new selected startups (in addition to Sarvam AI):
- Soket AI – 120B parameter LLM optimized for Indian languages.
- Gnani AI – 14B parameter Voice AI model for real-time multilingual speech recognition.
- Gan AI – 70B parameter Text-to-Speech (TTS) model with "superhuman" capabilities.
- Sarvam AI earlier released Sarvam-1 (2B params) and Sarvam-M (24B params) and will now develop a 120B Sovereign LLM.
4. AI Kosh and Data Sharing
- 367 datasets have been uploaded to AI Kosh, India’s central AI dataset repository.
- This open-access model supports foundational research and democratized development.
5. IndiaAI I4C CyberGuard Hackathon
- Jointly organized with Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under MHA.
- Led to development of AI models for classifying cybercrime complaints, reading handwritten FIRs, analyzing voice/audio evidence, and pattern recognition.
