Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that DeepSeek, an AI-powered chatbot, will soon be hosted on Indian servers to address privacy concerns and ensure better control over data.
DeepSeek, which is open-source, will be available on India’s new common compute facility, enabling startups and developers to collaborate and contribute to its growth.
Vaishnaw emphasised that the real value of AI lies in algorithmic efficiency and quality data, with India benefiting from its robust computing facilities and data quality.
The common computing facility will allow diverse ideas to flourish, particularly through collaboration with startups to create more efficient algorithms and better datasets.
Launched in December 2023, DeepSeek has already become the top-downloaded free app in the US.
It is compared to OpenAI’s GPT-4 for its math, coding, and language tasks capabilities, but at a much lower cost. Training DeepSeek cost $6 million, a fraction of the $100 million spent by OpenAI on GPT-4, thanks to the founder’s access to Nvidia A100 chips, which have been banned for export to China.
