Bangalore Running Event

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], June 8: The School of AI, Bangalore, has built and pre-trained LightningLM, a 120-billion-parameter large language model, demonstrating that frontier-scale AI models can now be designed, trained, and scaled within India, outside the handful of global labs and well-funded national programs that have so far held this capability. Accompanying it are publicly released models and open research papers on arXiv, introducing original methods typically associated with the world’s most advanced AI labs. This is fundamentally a systems and engineering milestone, and the distinction matters: the lasting achievement is not the model but the pipeline that produced it.…
