A New Era of AI Adoption in India?
In a significant development, Reliance Industries’ Jio Platforms has announced its partnership with the graphics processing unit (GPU) giant Nvidia to work on building a large language model trained on India’s diverse languages. This collaboration marks a major step towards expanding India’s presence in the fast-growing AI space.
A Powerful AI Infrastructure
The companies will also work together to build an AI infrastructure that is "over an order of magnitude more powerful than the fastest supercomputer in India today." The cloud infrastructure, which does not have a time frame for completion, will provide accelerated computing access to researchers, developers, startups, scientists, AI experts, and others throughout India.
Comprehensive AI Solutions
As part of the deal, Nvidia will equip Jio with comprehensive AI supercomputer solutions, including the Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and Nvidia DGX Cloud. Additionally, frameworks for crafting advanced AI models will be provided by Nvidia. In turn, Jio will be responsible for managing the AI cloud infrastructure and handling customer interactions and access.
A New Wave of AI Adoption in India
India’s largest corporate firm is making a significant push into the AI space, positioning itself as a major player in the growing industry. The partnership with Nvidia marks an important milestone in this journey, enabling Reliance to build its own large language models that power generative AI applications made in India for Indians.
The Global AI Landscape
India has yet to make a significant mark in the global AI arena, despite being the world’s most populous country. Most Indian startups and established local companies have primarily focused on developing applications using large language models created by organizations like OpenAI. However, with this partnership, Reliance is taking a bold step towards establishing India as a major player in the global AI landscape.
A New Era of Innovation
The advent of generative AI has opened up new possibilities for innovation and growth in various sectors, including technology, education, healthcare, and more. With the combined efforts of Jio Platforms and Nvidia,
