  • @NatkhatNoble
    Another one of very underrated Indian AI startups is Yatter which is making a huge leap in education and making powers of AI more accessible over on WhatsApp.
  • @babumosai549
    And the worst part is that we don't even respect our own inventions. I'm quite certain that most of us don't even know about these AIs. First, we should show respect for our Indian products and make use of them. ā¤šŸ‡®šŸ‡³
  • @archanaarun5802
    Fantastic video and such a positive one! feel proud about my country!! šŸ‡®šŸ‡³šŸŽ‰ one word that repeats in all of these Ai start ups is ā€œBengaluruā€ ą²Øą²®ą³ą²® ą²¬ą³†ą²‚ą²—ą²³ą³‚ą²°ą³ šŸ˜šŸ˜
  • @Vikasptl07
    Sam was very direct in answering to that question (typical techie) and was responding to building foundational models within 10mn (limited budget). He knows the works and money goes behind the foundational models and world knows gpt 3 iteration but no one has clues on how the gtp was working in its initial stages of iteration and efforts/money they have spent to make it this accurate. Nowadays sadly our people get offended without understanding the context , i think majority of indian audience is better suited for politically correct people than straight forward ones.
  • @justmrkhan
    Damn, these startups came up with so good ideas. Even though some were similar to the ones provided in the US, but this is a great foot forward.
  • @VeMe777

  • Yes we need all startup stories which are based on AI so that we can also get some idea to start our own Startup
  • @Aerrow62
    I just think people misunderstood altman. He clarified that he meant it's hopeless to compete with open ai with 10 million. But his second statement is very interesting : "and it's your job to try anyways". I think he was saying that as a ceo he has to discourage competition and as a researcher he is telling you to try it even if its hopeless.
  • @munirajpachappan
    Love your videos bro ! Being bangalorean was not aware of so many AI startups in my town šŸ˜‚
