Had an insightful discussion with Hon'ble Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw about launching a strategic initiative to bring together Indian-origin AI researchers from around the world. Indians have made significant contributions to modern AI, from the early Transformers paper, to teams behind leading models like OpenAI’s GPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama. We're collaborating with the best minds to build foundation models that will power India’s AI future. A key challenge in building foundation models for India lies in the lack of internet-scale data, unlike the US or China, combined with the country’s immense linguistic diversity. To truly democratize these models, our approach will focus on the unique conversational style of Indians, which often involves heavy code-switching between languages and dialects. We plan to use synthetic data generation and reinforcement learning to train LLMs, and are committed to open-sourcing essential components, including frameworks and code, reinforcement learning data, and model weights for select models. We’re looking to hire exceptional AI Engineers to join us on this mission. 👨‍💻 FTE: ₹40L Base + ₹40L ESOPs 🧑‍🎓 Intern: ₹1L/month 📍 Location: Virtual Know someone who’d be a perfect fit? Tag them!
