‘India should also not try to make the founder AI model, it was excluded from the context of the comment: Sam Altman | Mint

New Delhi: OpenAII CEO Sam Altman said on Wednesday that his statement that India was “not even tried” to make its own fundamental AI model “was excluded from the context.

Ultman defended his statement in a conversation with Union Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnav during his visit to India.

“I was excluded from the context about the cost of building founder AI model in the context of comments made in India a few years ago. This was a certain time to score AI, and I still think the pre-instructed founder AI models are expensive. But, one of the most exciting things in the industry is that there is a lot that we have now done at the distillation of the AI ​​model, ”Altman said. “There are many that we have done with small models, and logic models are not cheap today, but are still notable. This can explode creativity, and India should be a leader there. ,

In a conversation during India’s first visit to India in June 2023, Altman said that India “should not even try to create the founder AI model”. Since then, Openai has increased from its fellow Big Tech firms like Meta. Facing competition, which has a part of its AI work with the model of its lama set, and open-source to Google with its Gemini model.

Recently, on January 20, Chinese upstart Deepsek claimed that OpenIA has created its founder AI model, R1, at a fraction of the cost spent on research and development till date.

Not referring to Deepsac directly, Altman said that the cost of AI is a natural way, and India’s work through developers and startups is a part of this development.

“There are two ways to see the cost of the model. To live on the frontier, we believe that the cost of building and maintaining the founder model will continue to grow in an exponential curve, but for increasing intelligence information, the return is exponential in terms of economic and scientific value that is being created. Our Stargate project will go accordingly, ”he said.

“At the same time, the cost of a unit of intelligence will decrease from 10x in a year. Moore’s law changed the world with a 2X increase in performance. Now, what is happening with AI is extraordinary. This does not mean that the world will require less AI hardware, but now we can do more things with equal quantity of hardware, so the total amount of the total dollar invested will increase, ”Altman said.

Vaishnav said that the controls of the India AI Mission are designed to develop India’s founder AI model, and created a infrastructure to enable the development of full-stack AI ecosystems to suit the market’s approach to the alltman’s approach. Has gone.

“India is generally an incredibly important market for AI. For Openai, this is our second largest market, and we have tripled the number of users here in the last one year. But mainly, seeing what people in India are building with AI at all levels of stack – THIP, model and application, India should do everything, and should be one of the global leaders of AI revolution, Altman said.

earlier today, Mint Told that the Center is working on its own AI chip in partnership with the Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), which is an indigenous processor to reduce the cost of AI computing and make India and refine India Will give Future basic AI models, in the long run.
