2025 marks the year when India plans to enter the international competition in Artificial Intelligence, as reported by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw during the Utkarsh Odisha Conclave, where he was present. He announced that they will unveil a generative AI model at that time.
As reported by The Economic Times of India, the nation has procured approximately 18,693 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), among which are 12,896 Nvidia H100s. Furthermore, it is aiming for $20 billion in foreign investment towards data centers within the next three years.
The minister outlined a schedule for the development of an indigenous AI model specialized in generating content, designed to cater to India’s diverse languages and cultures.
“We believe that there are at least six major developers who can develop AI models in the next six to eight months on the outer limit, and four to six months on a more optimistic estimate.”
Vaishnaw made his announcement following the unveiling of DeepSeek R1 – an open-source AI model that matches the performance of top models from OpenAI at a significantly lower training cost.
The AI race heats up
The debut of DeepSeek R1 challenged several traditional beliefs regarding artificial intelligence, one being the notion that scaling is a strictly linear progression requiring massive computational resources.
Following the disclosure of DeepSeek, the Trump administration is contemplating stricter regulations on exporting advanced AI processors manufactured by top AI chip manufacturer, Nvidia.
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed some recent developments regarding Nvidia’s AI sales to China. The U.S. government has imposed three significant restrictions:
1. In 2022, they enforced an embargo on the H100 AI processor exports.
2. Furthermore, in 2023, they implemented a ban on semiconductor component sales.
These export controls are noteworthy considerations for those of us who have interests tied to both the U.S. and Chinese tech markets.
AI chips modified to perform below standard in accordance with initial U.S. export controls on AI hardware sales to China, such as Nvidia’s A800 and H800, were additionally prohibited under the broadened sanctions.
President Donald Trump has pledged to turn the United States into a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and maintain its preeminence in semiconductors and advanced computing technologies.
The current U.S. President has unveiled “Project Stargate”, an ambitious undertaking worth half a trillion dollars. This project is spearheaded by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, with the aim of constructing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure within the United States.
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed concerns about stricter regulations for U.S. firms potentially affecting our global competitiveness. The argument is that such controls could diminish U.S. dominance in AI technology, as agile and smaller competitors step into the fray.
