The minister wrote on X that Altman was willing to collaborate with India on all three.

Vaishnaw posted on X, “Had super cool discussion with @sama on our strategy of creating the entire AI stack – GPUs, model, and apps. Willing to collaborate with India on all three.”

During the meeting with Altman, Vaishnaw while referring to Chandrayaan 3 mission apprised Altman on how India had sent a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost that many other countries did.

“Why can’t we do a model which will be a fraction of the cost that many other countries do? So yes, innovation will bring that cost down,” he asked, commiting to build a lost-cost AI model.
