@devvarma opines that India must build cost-competitive, resilient cloud alternatives, but stresses AI is inherently global. He advocates sovereign cloud development while staying engaged with the worldwide AI ecosystem. tinyurl.com/mtra48ct

Handles AI models with up to 200 BILLION parameters.
This is incredible..
