OpenAI, Meta in talks with Reliance Industries for AI partnerships in India: Report
New Delhi: In a move to expand their Artificial Intelligence (AI) offerings in India, OpenAI and Meta Platforms are reportedly in discussions with Reliance Industries regarding potential partnerships.
According to a report from The Information, cited by Reuters, OpenAI has discussed with employees the possibility of lowering the subscription price for its ChatGPT service, potentially reducing the monthly fee from $20 to a few dollars. However, it remains unclear whether OpenAI has directly discussed such pricing changes with Reliance.
Sources familiar to the matter mentioned that a possibility is being explored involving a relationship between Reliance Jio and OpenAI to distribute ChatGPT.
As part of the discussions, Reliance Industries has reportedly proposed selling OpenAI’s models to its enterprise customers via an Application Programming Interface (API). According to the report, the Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate has expressed interest in hosting and running OpenAI's models locally in India, which would ensure the privacy and security of Indian data.
Additionally, Reliance has discussed running the Meta and OpenAI models in a three-gigawatt data center that the company is planning to build, which it claims will be the largest data center in the world, located in Gujarat’s Jamnagar.
While Meta declined to comment on The Information report, OpenAI and Reliance have not yet responded to requests for comment on the report.
