Snapshot

The Languages team at Google Deepmind India is driven by a mission to make AI more linguistically inclusive. We push the boundaries of multilingual and multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs). Our work also encompasses modularity and composition, aiming to make LLMs more responsible and culturally aware. Furthermore, we prioritize methods for high quality data curation and representative evaluation to ensure that our advancements are inclusive and reflective of diverse linguistic contexts and user needs. In addition to fundamental research, we apply our research advances in critical product launches in Google, touching the lives of hundreds of millions of users, and we are looking forward to doing more!
