Amid the rising tech development, the biggest chip producer Nvidia has announced its partnership with Bharat1 AI Research & Innovation City to set up a large-scale AI Superpark in Bengaluru. The company is planning to expand its base over the country by using the Superpark to bring in around 25,000 researchers and engineers to create a global solution for AI planning.
The announcement came amid the big tech giants like Google, OpenAI announcing their plans to invest in India after the AI Impact Summit which took place in New Delhi focusing on infrastructure development in India.
70-acre AI innovation hub
Nvidia will be focusing on launching their first AI Superpark in Bengaluru in a 500,000 square foot campus that is already in stream and operational. The facility will act as the core of the 70-acre AI innovation district which is expected to scale up over time.
The broader AI City is designed to host more than 25,000 AI researchers and engineers working across startups, product firms, applied research labs and enterprise innovation teams.
End-to-end ecosystem
The purpose of the Superpark will be an end-to-end AI ecosystem offering access to up scale performance computing, connections to global enterprise and long-term investment. Nvidia says it will provide access to its accelerated computing stack, AI software platforms and technical expertise, enabling startups to train, test and deploy advanced AI models at scale.
The already existing startups in the Superpark will also be eligible for the Nvidia Inception program. It will provide them growth and guidance at an early stage of the development.
The program also links promising startups with venture capital firms through the Inception VC Alliance, and gives them access to Nvidia’s larger network for developers and businesses.
The evolving AI hub is being described as the digital-physical innovation district who is projected to generate nearly one exabyte of 4D data annually for frontier AI research.
