BharatGen Summit is India’s largest Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Model (LLM) summit and hackathon.
About Bharat Gen
- Public-Private Partnership Initiative:
- It is India’s first-of-its-kind, indigenously developed AI-based Multimodal LLM for Indian languages.
- Launched as a non-profit company with funding from the Department of Science and Technology.
- Developed under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS)
- Being implemented through Technology Innovation Hubs (TIH) Foundation for IoT (Internet of Things) and IoE (Internet of Everything) at IIT Bombay.
- 4 primary goals:
- Creation of Bharat-centric foundational LLM models: Focus on Indian languages, culture and tradition
- Bharat Data Sagar: To centralise high-quality Bharatiya data necessary for model building
- Startup Ecosystem and Innovation: empowering entrepreneurs with tools, mentorship, and collaboration to create innovative AI applications for India.
- Skilling and Capacity Building: Strengthen India's AI talent pool through fellowships, hackathons, and courses, positioning it as a global innovation hub.
About Multimodal LLM
- Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) are large language models trained on a combination of text and non-text data, including images, audio, and video.
- These models use machine learning to understand and interpret human language and other complex data types.
- Multimodal LLMs surpass the limitations of unimodal models (such as earlier versions of ChatGPT), which often struggle to produce cohesive responses when inputs span different modalities.
