*In AI, India Focusing On Small Models With Big Impact*
In the global race to boost artificial intelligence (AI), tech giants are looking to create larger and powerful language models. However, in India, IIT-M and Ziroh Labs are looking to create a model that is “useful over fancy,” says Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras.
In an in-depth conversation with Anil Padmanabhan at StratNews Global, Prof. Kamakoti broke down their approach to AI development: small language models (SLMs) built for day-to-day utility, designed to run efficiently on Kompact AI —a homegrown AI platform that allows for inferencing using CPUs instead of expensive GPUs.
