According to a senior corporate executive on Tuesday, Microsoft and Mubadala-backed G42 will construct India’s largest supercomputer with eight exaflops, or millions of trillions of floating-point operations per second.
Manu Jain, the CEO of G42 India, told PTI that the business has also released a beta version of their broad language model in Hindi. This artificial intelligence engine allows users to communicate in Hindi, English, and Hinglish, a language that combines elements of both Hindi and English.
He mentioned that earlier this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi traveled to Abu Dhabi and that India and the UAE had inked a memorandum of understanding on digital infrastructure.
“We are the chosen implementation partner to execute this MoU. The MoU had spoken about three things: setting up a very large 2 gigawatt data center in India. This can double the existing capacity of data centers in India. The second is building one of India’s largest supercomputers, up to 8 exaflops, which we (G42) are building with Cerebras, and the third was co-developing AI models in India,” Jain said.
But he failed to indicate when the supercomputer and data center will be built up.
“We are very thrilled that today we have launched Nanda, the Hindi large language model. The name of the LLM has been derived from India’s top mountain peak,” Jain said.
He claimed that a 13-billion parameter model, which was trained on roughly 2.13 trillion tokens from language datasets, including Hindi, was used to train NANDA.
“With NANDA, we are heralding a new era of AI inclusivity, ensuring that the rich heritage and depth of Hindi language is represented in the digital and AI landscape. NANDA exemplifies G42’s unwavering commitment to excellence and fostering equitable AI,” G242 Group Company, Inc.
