CP Gurnani, the former CEO of Tech Mahindra, has successfully met a challenge issued by Sam Altman of OpenAI. Speaking at the fifth annual MachineCon GCC Summit in Bangalore last week, Gurnani revealed that his team developed a large-language model (LLM) in just five months for under $5 million. This project, which Gurnani announced as “Project Indus,” can communicate in approximately 40 different local languages and dialects (via Newsweek).
