Yotta co-founder and CEO Sunil Gupta, in an interview with Jatin Grover, said the company's AI platform services on top of GPUs will be driven by the India market and help reduce its dependency on a few global clients. He expects India's GPU capacity to increase to 100,000 over the next few years. Excerpts:
Where does Yotta stand in terms of compute infra for the Indian market?
About a year back, GPUs (graphic processing units) in India were very few and they were not good enough for AI training or inferencing purposes, but only for gaming and content creation. From that point of view, Yotta took a good bet on the future. We have not only been able to serve India's GPU and AI market, but also grow the market. Startups would not have thought of training a 10 billion parameter model in India, which they are doing now just because Yotta has been able to give them, let's say 1,000 GPUs just for two weeks which otherwise would have cost them millions of dollars. With 16,000 GPUs, which Yotta placed the order for, it is possibly the ninth or tenth largest cluster in the world, barring GPUs procured by the big tech companies.
India accounts for 25% of Yotta's capacity. Do you see the share growing?
