Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal Introduced Krutrim AI As India’s First Full-Stack AI Model

In a groundbreaking announcement, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal introduced Krutrim AI as India’s first full-stack AI model, set to revolutionize the landscape of artificial intelligence. With over 2 trillion tokens and support for 20 Indian languages, Krutrim AI promises to reshape India’s cultural and economic future, challenging established global paradigms.

Krutrim AI, which means “artificial” in Sanskrit, is a significant leap forward in India’s technological journey. Aggarwal emphasized that Krutrim AI is a unique creation, built on local Indian knowledge, languages, and data. During a hybrid event streamed live on YouTube, Aggarwal explained that the model’s primary goal is to capture India’s rich cultural diversity and unique linguistic landscape.

One of the key distinctions of Krutrim AI is its ability to comprehend and generate content in 20 Indian languages, including Marathi, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Odiya. Aggarwal highlighted that existing AI models, predominantly trained in English, fail to capture the nuances, values, and context inherent in India’s multicultural, multilingual heritage.

Aggarwal stated, “An AI-first economy will push the Indian technology industry on a nonlinear path, making it a Global Knowledge Centre. Krutrim AI will be a tool for cultural expression rather than assimilation into a single global paradigm.”

India’s own AI, for building an AI first economy! Really excited about showcasing it to all today.

Krutrim AI has been trained on an astounding 2 trillion tokens, making it a formidable large language model (LLM). During a live demonstration, the AI model showcased its capabilities by crafting stories, poems, and more in multiple Indian languages, demonstrating its potential impact on individuals and businesses alike.

Ravi Jain, Ola’s CMO, explained, “This LLM offers the right balance for performance and price, making it suitable for a wide range of database applications.” He further disclosed plans to release Krutrim Pro, a multimodal AI model, in the next quarter, promising even more sophisticated problem-solving and task execution abilities.

Aggarwal has long championed the idea that AI can play a pivotal role in preserving and expressing India’s cultural diversity. He stressed the importance of India having its own AI model, as many popular language models are trained on non-Indian data. Remarkably, Krutrim AI boasts a larger Indic language support than even GPT-4.

As anticipation builds Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal introduced Krutrim AI, Ola Electric has announced a YouTube livestream event that will provide insights into the model’s capabilities and applications. Scheduled to commence at 2:30 PM, this event promises to offer a glimpse into the future of AI technology and its potential to shape India’s technological landscape.

Stay tuned for the unveiling of Krutrim AI, a transformative milestone in India’s pursuit of technological innovation and its commitment to crafting AI solutions rooted in its unique culture and linguistic diversity.
