HuggingFace, IISc partner to supercharge model building on India’s diverse languages

I don't buy the hype about supercharging model building, but the diversity aspect is real. Training models on India's diverse languages isn't just academic fluff; it's about building models that actually work for the majority of the population, not just English speakers. The challenge is data scarcity and infrastructure cost, but if you can crack that, you unlock massive market potential.
