ATLAS Hosts Session on ‘Building ChatGPT Killer from India’ with Vishnu Ramesh, CEO of Subtl.ai
ATLAS SkillTech University, a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, recently had the privilege of hosting Vishnu Ramesh, the visionary founder and CEO of Subtl.ai. The session titled ‘Building ChatGPT Killer from India’ was a captivating exploration into the world of artificial intelligence, language models and entrepreneurship. This event not only showcased ATLAS’ commitment to fostering entrepreneurship but also provided invaluable insights into how to build a proprietary large language model, the shortcomings of ChatGPT, and the journey of creating an AI-first startup.
Unveiling Subtl.ai: From Concept to Corporate Solution
Vishnu Ramesh commenced the session by sharing the remarkable story of how Subtl.ai came into existence. Surprisingly, the Subtl.ai team embarked on their journey without a clear understanding of the problems their technology would ultimately solve. However, as they delved deeper into their research, they discovered that their model could be a game-changer for large organisations like the State Bank of India (SBI). Subtl.ai aimed to address the pressing issue of information overload faced by employees in such massive enterprises, enabling them to effectively communicate with their vast document repositories. Today, Subtl.ai stands as an example of innovation, predominantly serving the banking and insurance sectors.
The Power of Perseverance: Bagging the SBI Contract
One key takeaway from Vishnu’s presentation was the importance of perseverance in building a startup. Convincing the first client is often a challenging task and the Subtl.ai team’s tenacity paid off when they successfully pitched their solution to SBI, ultimately securing the contract. This achievement underscores the significance of unwavering commitment and belief in one’s vision, even in the face of initial uncertainty.
Building the Dream Team and Cultivating the Right Culture
Another crucial aspect Vishnu emphasised was the significance of assembling the right team and cultivating the right company culture. In the ever-evolving landscape of AI startups, the synergy between team members and the culture they create can make or break a company. Nurturing an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration and adaptability is paramount to long-term success.
Subtl.ai vs. ChatGPT: A Comparative Analysis
The session also delved into the technical aspects of Subtl.ai and its competitive advantage over models like ChatGPT. Vishnu highlighted several key differences:
- Hallucination Rate: ChatGPT has a hallucination rate of 7%, while Subtl.ai boasts a remarkably lower rate of less than 1%. This remarkable accuracy ensures that Subtl.ai provides highly reliable information and responses.
- Privacy: Unlike ChatGPT, Subtl.ai can be deployed privately, offering a greater degree of data security and confidentiality. This feature is particularly vital for businesses that handle sensitive information.
- Personalisation and Proof: Subtl.ai stands out by generating answers with a high degree of personalisation and providing proof to support those answers. This level of customisation is a game-changer for businesses seeking tailored solutions.
- Content Generation vs. Information Interaction: While ChatGPT primarily excels in content generation, Subtl.ai focuses on information interaction, making it the ideal choice for enterprises grappling with data-intensive tasks.
Subscription Models for Success
Vishnu also discussed Subtl.ai’s subscription models, catering to various business needs. The two types, user-based and usage-based subscriptions, offer flexibility and scalability for companies of all sizes. This approach allows businesses to tailor their Subtl.ai usage to their specific requirements, optimising their investment in the platform.
The Advantage of Agility: Why Startups Like Subtl.ai Thrive
In a world dominated by tech giants like Google and Microsoft, Vishnu Ramesh highlighted the inherent advantage that nimble startups like Subtl.ai possess. Smaller companies can adapt quickly, innovating and responding to market demands faster than their larger counterparts. This agility is a key factor in the survival and success of pioneering startups in the tech landscape.
