The School of AI, Bangalore Demonstrates India's Frontier-Scale AI Capability with LightningLM, a 120-Billion-Parameter Language Model
Jun 08, 2026
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], June 8: The School of AI, Bangalore has built and pre-trained LightningLM, a 120-billion-parameter large language model, demonstrating that frontier-scale AI models can now be designed, trained, and scaled within India, outside the handful of global labs and well-funded national programs that have so far held this capability. Accompanying it are publicly released models and open research papers on arXiv, introducing original methods typically associated with the world's most advanced AI labs.
