SeekGPT: Blueprint

An open, and ethically grounded Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) foundational model.

Vision:

To establish SeekGPT as a globally recognized, open, and ethically grounded Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) foundational model, driven by India's diverse talent and cultural values, contributing to the advancement of humanity.

Mission:

To democratize AI development and application by:

  • Building a Collaborative Ecosystem: Uniting India's researchers, developers, educators, and industry leaders through open-source initiatives and collaborative platforms.
  • Developing a Robust Foundational Model: Creating a large language model and multimodal AI system that understands and reflects the linguistic and cultural nuances of India, while possessing global applicability.
  • Promoting Ethical and Responsible AI: Integrating ethical guidelines and safety mechanisms into the core of SeekGPT, ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability.
  • Fostering Innovation and Accessibility: Providing accessible tools, resources, and educational programs to empower individuals and organizations to leverage the power of AI for social and economic progress.
  • Encouraging Multilingual Support: Developing a model that has deep understanding of all the official languages of India and the World.

Blueprint for SeekGPT
