India’s IndiaAI Mission announces the release of three indigenous AI foundation models: Soket’s EKA-1 and ZenteiQ’s Dhīr 2B and Dhīr 5B, as reported by both outlets. The coverage frames the update as new model availability from Indian developers associated with the mission.
Business Line adds context from the government, saying the development was enabled by access to subsidised national AI compute infrastructure and support for ancillary research expenses. Swarajya emphasises the mission launch and highlights the “three indigenous AI models” alongside the company releases, focusing more on the product names and players. Across both reports, the common thread is that the mission is associated with bringing these models to market, with the government’s enabling support described in the Business Line coverage.
