Sam Altman walks back comments he made in 2023 about India's ability to make AI models that can compete with OpenAI, saying that training frontier models will continue to be expensive but the cost of a given unit of intelligence is falling by 10x per year https://t.co/RIuFCyWsVK
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, clarified that his previous comments regarding India's capabilities in developing large language models (LLMs) were misinterpreted. In 2023, Altman had described the situation as 'hopeless' for India to compete in creating foundational AI models. However, he stated that these remarks were taken out of context and emphasized that New Delhi should aspire to be a technology leader. Altman acknowledged that while training frontier models remains costly, the price of intelligence is decreasing significantly, with costs falling by 10 times per year. He also suggested making OpenAI models more affordable for developers in India and called for the introduction of India-specific pricing.
