It’s not Tuesday, but it’s still a Hanooman’s day. Finally, the SML-powered Hanooman GPT is here!
India now has its own indigenous alternative to OpenAI’s viral ChatGPT model. Hanooman GPT is a series of open-source Indic large language models developed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in partnership with healthcare AI firm Seetha Mahalakshmi Healthcare (SML).
The name ‘Hanooman’ is derived from the Hindu deity Hanuman, known for his strength, devotion, and commitment to the greater good. This reflects the model’s goals of developing powerful AI capabilities for the public benefit while celebrating India’s linguistic and cultural heritage.
While still early, Hanooman represents India’s push to develop indigenous AI models aligned with its linguistic and cultural contexts. Compared to the alternatives, it could allow wider adoption and collaborative advancement of the technology within India.
Also, SML founder Vishnu Vardhan said the company is focused on specific use cases for Hanooman
We don’t want it to be like ChatGPT, which suffers from the ‘I’m God and I know everything’ syndrome. We don’t want to simply replicate its success [but be more than that] – Said
