EXPLAINER | AIKosha: Building block for a made-in-India LLM

Last week, the government launched AIKosha — a national datasets platform. This marks the beginning of the process to make India-specific data across multiple Indian languages easily available to enable startups to build indigenous large language models, explains Jatin Grover

What is AIKosha?

AIKosha is a platform that provides a repository of India-specific anonymous and non-personal datasets, models and use-cases that are key to building large language models (LLMs) and AI applications. The datasets and models are from government institutions such as the Indian Council of Medical Research, Bhashini as well as verified private entities such as AI startups (Sarvam and Ola Krutrim) who have their Indic models listed on the platform.
