Mar 4, 2025
TurboML, a San Francisco-based machine learning platform, plans to invest $12 million in developing an AI foundational model for Indian languages.

TurboML, a real-time machine learning platform based in San Francisco, has announced plans to invest $12 million in developing an AI foundational model specifically for Indian languages. The initiative aims to bring together AI researchers of Indian origin from around the world to collaborate on this project.

Siddharth Bhatia, co-founder of TurboML, revealed that discussions have already taken place with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India. The team has also met with MeitY Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to outline their plans. The project is expected to be completed within eight months, with the investment cost accounting for the current commercial rate for GPU usage, which could be reduced under the MeitY subsidy scheme.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
