Chinese AI model DipC has created a stir worldwide. Meanwhile, Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnav said on Tuesday that India’s Foundational AI model should be ready by the end of this year and some Indian companies have really made very powerful models. Speaking at the ‘Budget Round Table 2025’ program of India Today-business Today, Vaishnav said that within 10 months, the AI ​​model of India will be in front of everyone.
How will India’s AI model be
He said that it is likely to be smaller than open AI and others, but is quite powerful in terms of facilities. After this, a large version of the model will also be introduced so that our model can compete with the world’s top models. China’s Deepcik has damaged the market evaluation of major tech players globally. The Chinese company is capable of creating the most advanced model at a much lower cost compared to American technology giants.
The central government has also started the AI ​​mission in the country with an allocation of Rs 10 thousand crore. The IT Minister said that we have listed 18000 graphic processing unit (GPU) and 10,000 are already available. The first thing you want is computing power and it is available to all. It will be started in a few days and researchers, colleges, academics and others will have access to this and they will be able to work on it. Regarding India’s competitive ability in this region, the minister said that AI has just started and we will see unprecedented innovation in it.
Provider from Product Nation’s journey
He told that India is in the top 4 in terms of innovation and we are confident that we will be ahead in this technology too. In addition, everyone in the world of science and technology takes a basis and then moves forward. Ashwini Vaishnav also emphasized the need to change the mentality and the need for India to become a product nation from service provider. He announced that this year the first chips manufactured in India will come in the market.
Ashwini Vaishnav described three things important about the country’s AI model including a foundational model based on coding, seting data to trend it efficiently and his own GPU. He said that we have worked on all three components of technology. All startups will have complete control on the core and large number of data sets which is the focus on non -personal sector such as weather, traffic and agriculture.
The minister said that the entire sovereign data is very large and it will be used to trend our models. For the work of GPU semiconductor, processor and chips, we are moving forward on many options such as taking an open source or license and making our own GPU, this will give us our GPU in 3-5 years.
