A consortium backed by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd. and India’s top engineering schools aim to launch its first ChatGPT-style service AI model, Hanooman in March, a big step in the country’s ambitions to become a player in the field of artificial intelligence.With the backing of Ambani's conglomerate, Hanooman aims to revolutionize various sectors through advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
The BharatGPT group, encompassing an arm of India’s most valuable company and eight affiliated universities, offered a sneak peek of the large language model recently, during a technology conference in Mumbai. In a video played before delegates, a motorcycle mechanic in southern India queried an AI bot in his native Tamil, a banker conversed with the tool in Hindi, and a developer in Hyderabad used it to write computer code.
The model-dubbed Hanooman after the half-monkey Hindu deity ,if successful— will further benefit India in the accelerating race to develop potentially transformative AI technology. BharatGPT envisions the model working via 11 local languages in four main fields: health care, governance, financial services and education.
The AI model is being developed in collaboration with eight Indian Institutes of Technology and is backed by Reliance Jio Infocomm and the central government, according to information.
