Zoho making smaller AI models with up to 20 billion parameters: CEO Sridhar Vembu

Hindustan Times  

Software-as-a-Service giant Zoho is developing smaller artificial intelligence models, founder-CEO Sridhar Vembu revealed on Saturday, adding that this is because the company found that smaller AI models, and not the large ones, are better for specific domain problems. Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu “We are working on models that are based on 7 billion to 20 billion parameters…we are not doing the 500 parameter models as of now. We also want to have our very own graphics processing units infrastructure as that is cheaper in the long term,” Vembu said at CNBC TV18-Moneycontrol's Global AI Conclave. Additionally, earlier this year, in June, Zoho announced a new project: its own large language model, similar to OpenAI's GPT and Google's PaLM 2 models, with the project being overseen by Vembu himself, while the research and development team is working on it.
