Part 4/9:
- AI Models: Co-developing Language Models tailored for Indian languages, addressing a crucial gap in global AI.
The highlight is their focus on "Equitable AI" — developing models that understand and process local languages like Hindi, Tamil, and others. Manu emphasizes that most current models are Western-centric, trained predominantly in English, which limits their usability in diverse linguistic contexts across India and the world.
Breaking Language Barriers: The Nand Model
G42 announced the launch of their Hindi-English model, Nand, a 13-billion-parameter AI trained on over two trillion tokens. It can perform tasks such as translation, content creation, and preliminary diagnostics — all in regional languages.
