Nvidia

There is a rise in the share prices of Nvidia, the company making AI chips. The growth of AI has escalated the demand for GPU chips. Big Tech vie with each other to buy as many GPU chips as possible. Nvidia chips are being bought by the companies in Saudi Arabia and UAE. Chinese companies such as Tencent and Alibaba stand at the door of Nvidia. It shows the great demand for AI chips.

The demand will rise further because of the chatbots and other tools.

RIL and Tata Group entered into separate pacts with Nvidia to develop advanced AI applications in India. The tie-up is for creating AI infrastructure in the country and to develop foundation LLM for generative AI solutions as well as for training and skilling the workforce.

Nvidia will provide Jio end-to-end AI supercomputer technologies, including CPU and GPU, networking, AI operating systems and frameworks — all this to build most advanced AI models. Jio will manage and maintain AI cloud infrastructure and oversee customer engagement and access.

To the Tata Group, Nvidia will provide its expertise in upskilling 6 lac TCS employees in AI. It will collaborate with Tata Communications and Tata Motors to build AI infrastructure and build AI across design and style for vehicles.

Jio will create super centres to provide catalytic growth.

Nvidia will provide access to the most advanced Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip. Nvidia will also provide access to DG Cloud, an AI Supercomputing service in the cloud.

As India has scale, data and talent, given the most advanced infrastructure, it can build its own LLMs that power generative AI applications made in India. To handle computational demands, RIL will create 2000 MW of AI-ready computing capacity, across both cloud and edge locations.

AI will be accessible to researchers, startups and enterprises across India.

Nvidia has operations in Bangalore since 2004. These have been set up almost two decades ago. There are four engineering development centres — Gurugram, Hyderabad, Pune and Bangalore. Nvidia has almost 4000 employees in India. In addition, it has 3.2 lac India-based developers.
