OpenAI and Meta Platforms are reportedly in separate discussions with India’s Reliance Industries to explore potential partnerships aimed at expanding their artificial intelligence (AI) offerings in the country.
One proposal under consideration involves a collaboration between Reliance Jio, Reliance’s telecommunications arm, and OpenAI to distribute ChatGPT services. This partnership could entail reducing the ChatGPT subscription fee from $20 to a more affordable rate for the Indian market. Additionally, Reliance is contemplating selling OpenAI’s models to its enterprise clients through application programming interfaces (APIs) and hosting these models locally to ensure customer data remains within India. This local hosting could leverage Reliance’s planned three-gigawatt data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, which is projected to be one of the largest globally.
