Large language model
Verdict
India's flagship open-weight MoE (105B total, 10.3B active), trained from scratch in India under the IndiaAI mission. Apache 2.0. Strong Indic-language coverage (22 official languages). AA ~12 — not a global frontier model, but the sovereign default for Indic + DPDP-sensitive work.
“The Indian open-weight model to actually evaluate.”
Shortlist for Hindi/Indic products and any stack that must stay in India.
Training data policy: N/A — open weights. Self-host for full control.
DPDP Act (India): Trained in India. Self-host or use India-region API for DPDP control.
