GPU access: Govt may chip in with Nvidia deal

India is considering a deal with Nvidia to source graphics processing units (GPUs) for its ₹10,000 crore Artificial Intelligence Mission. The plan, in its early stage, aims to offer subsidised GPUs to local startups, researchers, and academic institutions. This move is driven by the global need for AI compute infrastructure and the significant cost and scarcity of GPUs. Two possible options for providing AI compute infrastructure are being considered: a rent-and-sublet model or a marketplace model with incentives. Currently, Indian companies are looking abroad for compute infrastructure due to the lack of GPUs domestically.

Stanford researchers challenge OpenAI, others on AI transparency in new report

Stanford University researchers have released a report called "The Foundation Model Transparency Index," which examined major AI models from companies including OpenAI, Google, and Meta. The report found that the models lacked transparency and called for increased disclosure of data and labor practices. The Transparency Index graded 10 popular foundation models on indicators such as training data, labor practices, and compute usage. All models received scores deemed as "unimpressive," with Meta's Llama 2 language model receiving the highest score and Amazon's Titan model receiving the lowest. The researchers hope the report will encourage companies to improve transparency and provide guidance for potential AI regulation.
