'Mark Zuckerberg will go down...': comments Mukesh Ambani on the Meta Founder

Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries, praised Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, for making the Llama language open source.

“I have great respect for my friend Mark Zuckerberg, he has made Llama open source. Zuckerberg will go down in history for doing this,” Ambani said during a chat with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in Mumbai on October 24.

Llama, which Meta introduced in February 2023, includes a series of autoregressive large language models.

Huang, who heads the global chip company, mentioned that Reliance and Nvidia are joining forces to create artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in India. "This is an excellent opportunity for India to have a large population and a large population of computer engineers. This is such an extraordinary time. I am honoured and privileged to get to partner with you for this," Huang stated to Ambani.

At the Nvidia AI Summit 2024, Huang emphasized Nvidia's commitment to growing its presence in India. "India is very, very dear to the world's computer industry, central to the IT industry, at the centre and core of the IT of just about every single company in the world," he asserted. "Nvidia's ecosystem in India is very rich. 2024 will see 20 times growth in compute capacities in India," Huang added.
