Ola Krutrim AI: Desi Competition To ChatGPT Is Here; Outperforms GPT-4 In Indic Languages | Details
Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has introduced Krutrim AI, an artificial intelligence solution specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the Indian audience. During a live-streamed launch event, Ola highlighted how the Indian chatbot prioritizes Indian knowledge, language, and data. Krutrim AI, derived from the Sanskrit word for artificial, will be available in two versions: Krutrim and Krutrim Pro. The basic model can comprehend 22 languages and generate output in 10 Indian languages. The advanced Krutrim Pro, which offers enhanced problem-solving capabilities, is set to debut in the coming quarter.
In comparison to mainstream models like GPT-4 and Llama, Ola claims that Krutrim AI has been trained on over 20 times more Indic tokens. This enables the model to outperform them specifically in Indic languages. Notably, Krutrim AI can accept voice inputs and respond through the same medium. With the ability to seamlessly switch between written and spoken communication, Krutrim AI is a promising tool for developers and enterprises. Additionally, the model is trained to understand Indian culture and languages by employing a custom tokeniser for Indian scripts and languages.
Krutrim SI Designs, the think tank behind Krutrim AI, has larger ambitions beyond the chatbot itself. Their goal is to create silicon chips, develop a cloud infrastructure, and design AI models that cater specifically to the Indian market. Prototypes of these initiatives are expected to be unveiled next year. According to the official website, the foundational models will serve enterprises, researchers, and developers to build Generative AI applications.
Excitingly, users can join the waitlist via the website (olakrutrim.com) in order to try out the AI model. The base large language model will be available to all users starting from January 2024, followed by the availability of the API (application programming interface) in February. Krutrim AI enters the scene amidst a competitive race in the field of artificial intelligence.
By catering to the Indian audience with its emphasis on language, data, and cultural understanding, Ola’s Krutrim AI poses a significant challenge to existing AI models. With its exceptional performance in Indic languages and additional features like coding capabilities, it has the potential to revolutionize the industry in India. As the world eagerly awaits the launch of Krutrim Pro, the advancement of AI technologies tailored for specific markets marks an exciting development in the field.
In summary, Ola’s Krutrim AI, a tailor-made AI solution for the Indian audience, has been launched, promising to outperform mainstream models like GPT-4 and Llama in Indic languages. With the ability to understand multiple languages, accept voice inputs, and even code, Krutrim AI is a powerful tool for developers, enterprises, and users alike. The waitlist is now open, offering users the opportunity to experience the model firsthand, with availability set to expand in the coming months. As Ola races ahead in the AI game, Krutrim AI is set to make a significant impact in the Indian market.
