Nvidia and Reliance Industries, India’s largest company by market cap, will together build a foundational large language model (LLM) — an artificial intelligence algorithm —that will be trained on an array of diverse Indic languages used by the country’s 1.4 billion people, chief executive Jensen Huang announced on Friday.
The $27.5-billion company, which is the world’s best-known maker of hardware and software for AI tools, also said it will partner with the salt-to-software conglomerate Tata Group to advance AI infrastructure in India.
The co-created LLM, which is the bedrock of all generative AI models such as ChatGPT, will be eventually owned by Reliance, Huang said. “They (Reliance) can create AI models, services and applications for their 450 million (customers),” he added.
Meanwhile, the partnership with the Tata Group’s Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors and Tata Communications is aimed at building “AI infrastructure that is over an order of magnitude more powerful than the fastest supercomputer in India today”, Huang told reporters in Bengaluru while unveiling the two big-ticket partnerships.
