@samlakig This is the ₹65/hr rate I presume I could never get past this form

[pH @pHequals7]

this is how you apply for GPUs from the government at a subsidy

With an “endorsement letter”

[pH @pHequals7]

i love how red-tapism has a digital rebrand

(digilocker KYC is cool tho..)

[pH @pHequals7]

@banglani highly doubt they put in that much thought while designing the form

[pH @pHequals7]

@tadityasrinivas @karpathy @AnthropicAI Aditya, it need not be just Sarvam

If you set your mind to it, you can contribute to the mission as well :)

@findingnische China first chooses by market forces first and then blesses for the growth

We did not have a market discovery in the first place and we want to leapfrog to choosing

[pH @pHequals7]

the dangerous precedent we set here in anointing a national champion early on in this race is it completely kills competition and competition pushes the frontier

If ant was born out of OAI then India needs at least 10 Sarvams..

Who is willing to be the Dario there?

[Anandamoy Roychowdhary @smdcmc]

India needs to figure out how to wire 1B to @SarvamAI asap to train models. Similar to #nuclear the world will divide into countries that have #recursiveselfimprovement vs countries that don’t. This is as important as #Pokharan was @TrivediVedant @aaditya @Sid_1_0 @AjeyGore

@findingnische And how are the Chinese open source models able to compete pray tell?

[pH @pHequals7]

if it is indeed defcon5 - Sarvam should be completely taken over by GoI since it’s a national security issue

AI engineers there will then be paid according to the 8th pay commission

[Anandamoy Roychowdhary @smdcmc]

@pHequals7 this is now a little past commercial competition scope and is now entering a national imperative situation (just like what the US is doing with Anth) . the competition point is valid but something to solve down the road ... right now this feels like a defcon5 energency sitch.

@SuperPACman_ makes sense

I wonder if the zipdial founders now have SpaceX stock

Happy $SPCX IPO day to those who celebrate

[pH @pHequals7]

@vinodgansan oh competition is definitely emerging :)

[pH @pHequals7]

@vinodgansan no government anointed OAI

market forces did

same with deepseek (before the R1 drop)

[pH @pHequals7]

@smdcmc you don’t get attention on the global town square by being pragmatic :)

but yes can be flexible on the age..

[pH @pHequals7]

anyone over the age of 40 or has made money by labour arbitrage should automatically be disqualified from influencing AI policy in India

if you have not spent >5% of your revenue for R&D in any organisation that you’ve headed once again you are disqualified

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal @FinMinIndia @RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah @amitmalviya

step 1)

secure compute with public funding

[jss @jsensarma]

unfort. all this talk of sovereignity will lead GoI in the wrong direction.

far more important problem is how one establishes conditions for innovation. how one gets one's own Musk over time.

after all we had sovereign tech even in 70s - 'Ambassador' cars for example.

somewhere deep in my blog drafts there is one unfinished essay on how california is probably the most impactful place on earth in recent history (so-cal for soft power hollywood and nor-cal for hard power tech)

and how south india could replicate this combo..
