Nvidia will provide the computing power required for the
efforts, while Reliance unit Jio will manage and maintain the AI
cloud infrastructure and oversee customer engagement, the
companies said.
"Reliance will create AI applications and services for their 450
million Jio (telecom) customers and provide energy-efficient AI
infrastructure to scientists, developers and startups across
India," Nvidia said.
Nvidia globally has a near-monopoly on the computing systems
used to power services like ChatGPT, OpenAI's blockbuster
generative AI chatbot. The AI powering such apps is known as a
large language model because it takes in a text prompt and from
that writes a human-like response.
Reliance said the new AI infrastructure will speed up a range of
India's key AI projects, including chatbots, drug discovery,
climate research and more.
It will also work on creating AI applications based on Indian
regional languages, such as an app that can interact with
farmers to provide weather information and crop prices.
Reuters on Friday exclusively reported that oil-to-retail
conglomerate Reliance is also considering a foray into chip
manufacturing in India.
