New Delhi: In a groundbreaking move, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, the visionary behind Reliance Industries, has introduced India into the competitive AI race. Collaborating with the esteemed IIT Bombay and eight other Indian Institutes of Technology, Ambani’s Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML) has unveiled “Hanooman,” a series of large language models (LLMs) meticulously trained on 22 Indian languages. The ambitious project, named “BharatGPT,” aims to democratise AI by bridging language barriers and making it accessible across India’s diverse users.
Unlike conventional language models, Hanooman brings more to the table than just mere text. It exhibits multimodal AI capabilities, enabling it to generate and comprehend content across various formats: text, speech, and even video. Whether you seek healthcare advice in your native or local language and receive a personalised video response or create educational content tailored to diverse learning styles, Hanooman has you covered.
The inaugural group of Hanooman models, ranging from 1.5 billion to a staggering 40 billion parameters, is set to debut next month. It is important to note that these models will be open-sourced, which will enable developers and researchers to build upon them and craft specialised applications for diverse sectors.
India, with its diverse languages across the state, poses a challenging hurdle for AI development. RIL-backed Hanooman helps tackle this problem by supporting 11 Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Marathi. The objective of the AI is to include all 22 Indian languages, revolutionising access to information and communication for millions who struggle to communicate in English and giving them the freedom to use the AI in their own languages.
Hanooman’s impact extends far beyond basic translation services. Picture chatbots seamlessly provide customer support in local languages, empowering users across sectors like healthcare, governance, financial services, and education. The potential is boundless.
As BharatGPT’s Hanooman readies for its grand debut, India stands on the precipice of an AI revolution—one that promises inclusivity, innovation, and empowerment.
The newly unveiled BharatGPT Hanooman marks a revolution for Made in India AI, but how does it really fare against the OpenAI ChatGPT-3? Let’s compare.
