Indus is a civilizational initiative tailored for India to empower all Indic languages originating from The Indus Valley Civilization. The project's dual objectives are to construct a language model deeply rooted in Indian culture and, secondly, to excel in prevailing benchmarks. It is our endeavor to create a foundation model for Indian languages that model that will enable and simplify communication across the country and preserve our languages and dialects. In the first phase, we will create the LLM for Hindi and 37+ dialects and then move ahead in a phased manner to cover other languages and dialects.

Potential Benefits

Farmer’s Network

A digital buddy for over 140 million farmers that will provide the required information on loans, pesticides, and more.

JAM Stack Connect for India

A solution stack architecture designed to make the web faster, easier to scale, and more secure.

Education Enablement

Where we aid children and enable them to understand various related subjects better.

Industry Foundation Models

Verticalized foundation models are created for specific industries like media, telecom, and healthcare.

Dialect Preservation

We help preserve dialects that are spoken by many but are not digitized.

Rural Finance

A rural kiosk can decipher speech in local dialects to solve different financing problems. In the absence of India’s foundation model, this would increase the OPEX for many companies.

Mobile Conversational Systems

Mobile conversational systems will be embedded in different equipment to make it more interactive and conversational in local dialects.

Public Healthcare Infrastructure

Ensuring ethical and useful information is made available transparently in the local dialect.

What We Offer

Open-Source Model for India and the World

The model has been launched for beta testing within Tech Mahindra with 539 million parameters and 10 billion pure Hindi + dialect tokens. Our model will be launched for open source in February 2024.

Text Generation to Chat Model Integration

The model in the first phase will be a decoder only to generate text, and the next phase will include RLHF to convert it into a chat model.

Voice Capability Enablement

The last phase will provide voice to the model.
