In collaboration with the Bharat GPT Consortium, Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare unveiled the Hanooman series of large language models (LLMs) in February 2024. These AI models, ranging from 1.5 billion to 40 billion parameters, have been trained on 22 Indian languages and possess multimodal learning capabilities, including text-to-text, text-to-video, speech synthesis, and speech recognition. The alpha version, launched on May 10, 2024, supports 98 international languages, including 12 Indian languages, and offers functionalities such as tutoring, coding, and conversation.
The Hanooman series represents a significant advancement in India’s AI landscape, providing versatile tools that cater to diverse linguistic and functional needs. By making these models open-source, the initiative encourages collaboration and innovation within the AI community. The Hanooman series is poised to impact various sectors, including education, healthcare, and technology, by offering AI solutions that are culturally and linguistically relevant to the Indian context.
These developments highlight India’s growing contributions to global technological advancements, showcasing innovations across materials science, defense technology, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.
