[[{“value”:”IndiaAI Foundational Model Proposal

As the country accelerates its efforts to build AI infrastructure, IndiaAI Mission said it has received 506 proposals to build the AI foundational models across three phases.

“Given the overwhelming response and continued interest, the deadline for submission under Phase 3 of the call for proposals was extended, with the revised deadline being April 30,” IndiaAI Mission said on its website.

Given the overwhelming response and continued interest, the mission has decided to extend the deadline for submissions under phase 3 of the call for proposals. The earlier deadline was April 30.

Of the total bids, the Centre received 120 applications in the second round and around 67 proposals were received in the initial round.

The IndiaAI Mission also said that as part of the first phase of approvals, one startup is picked to initiate the development of an indigenous foundational model, while further selections are expected to be announced shortly.

The government engaged in the process of floating a proposal to build an Indian foundational AI model, earlier in January this year, as “foreign” foundational models are trained on western data sets and are not aligned with Indian languages and situations.
