Krutrim AI- India’s Own AI Model

Context: Recently, “Krutrim AI”, an indigenous AI model, was launched in Bengaluru.

Krutrim, ‘India’s own AI’ developed by Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal

Launched by: Krutrim Si Designs, the artificial intelligence (AI) venture is led by Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal.
It will be available in beta version from January 2024 as an application programming interface (API) for enterprises and developers.

Large Language Model (LLM)

It is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and massively large data sets to perform a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks to understand, summarize, generate, and predict new content.
They are also referred to as neural networks (NNs), as they are in effect computing systems inspired by the human brain.
Some of the global LLM evaluation benchmarks are: MMLU, HellaSwag, BBH, PIQA and ARC.

Krutrim is a sanskrit word meaning ‘artificial’.
Krutrim is India’s first complete AI computing stack.
Krutrim will have two classifications:
- Krutrim AI base model: It will be available as an application programming interface (API) for enterprises and developers)
- Krutrim AI Pro: It will have advanced capabilities for problem-solving and task execution)
Base Algorithm: Large Language Model
Krutrim’s conversational AI assistant (contemporary of Chatgpt), will understand and speak multiple Indian languages fluently.
- For Example: Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, and Telugu are among the languages that can generate content.

Linguistic inclusivity in AI: It can understand 20 Indian languages and generate content in 10 Indian languages (including Marathi, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Odia.)
Indian Data Dominance: It has processed over 2 trillion tokens (subwords used in conversations) and has trained on 20 times more Indic tokens
Voice-Activated: It can also respond to voice inputs and can seamlessly switch between written and spoken communication which will enhance user interaction and accessibility.
Demonstrating real-time coding: It will make it a potential game-changer for developers and businesses.
