"Abu Dhabi-based tech company G42 has partnered with U.S.-based chipmaker Cerebras to deploy 8 exaflops of computing power via a new supercomputer system in India, the companies said on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. The system will be hosted in India and follow local data residency, security, and compliance rules. The project aims to provide computing resources for AI applications to educational institutions, government entities, and small and medium enterprises."
""Deploying this system in India marks a significant step forward in the country's computational capacity and sovereign AI initiatives. It will accelerate training and inference for large-scale models, enabling researchers and developers to build AI tailored to India's needs," said Andy Hock, chief strategy officer at Cerebras. The India AI Impact Summit this week saw several AI infrastructure initiatives being launched by both Indian giants and international firms."
G42 and Cerebras are collaborating to deploy an 8-exaflop supercomputer system hosted in India under local data residency, security, and compliance rules. The infrastructure will provide compute resources for AI training and inference to educational institutions, government entities, and small and medium enterprises. Abu Dhabi's MBZUAI and India's C-DAC are participating in the project, and MBZUAI and G42 previously released the Nanda 87B Hindi-English large language model. The initiative is intended to bolster India’s sovereign AI capacity and accelerate development of large-scale models tailored to local needs amid broader national data-center and compute investments.
