BharatGPT’s Hanooman Coming Soon

“Hanuman is a great example of responsible power. Despite being the most powerful entity, he never used his power for selfish needs,” said Vishnu Vardhan, founder of SML and Vizzhy, in an exclusive interview with AIM. Steering clear of religious interpretations, he elaborated that the inspiration for the model's name emerged during discussions about its ethical framework. It is a reminder of their model's guiding principle: to always work towards the greater good.

The company is looking to release four open-source models in the Hanooman series (1.5 billion, 7 billion, 13 billion, and 40 billion parameters) by the end of this month. “We are quite ready. But we will do a lot of testing,” said Vardhan. He added that users will be able to converse in 11 languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Marathi. “In the future, we plan to extend language support to all 22 official languages of India,” he said.
