"AI requires depth, hands-on projects, and integration of fields like cognitive science and ethics," says Prof. V Ramgopal Rao Rao, Vice-Chancellor of Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. Similarly, Chiranjib Sur from Krea University emphasizes the need for "stronger foundational mathematics and computer science knowledge" rather than just focusing on Python libraries. Ritvik G from AIISC adds, "AI courses in India lack real-world applications and practical lab work, focusing instead on traditional topics with minimal innovation." While Amit Sheth of AIISC advocates for dedicated AI degrees beyond CS, others like Chaitanya Athukuri criticize the overlap between AI-ML and CS curricula, calling it a marketing ploy. 📢 The question remains: Should AI be an independent discipline or an evolved part of CS? Read the complete article to know more.

The Battle of LLMs in 2024: Winners and Losers While DeepSeek V3 and other top models like Meta’s Llama 3.1 dominate the open-source scene, several LLMs launched in 2024 failed to gain traction despite lofty promises. Databricks’ DBRX and @Falcon 2 from TII, while boasting innovative features, didn’t manage to capture the interest they aimed for. Snowflake Arctic, Stable LM 2, and Nemotron-4-340B also saw minimal uptake. AI21 Labs’ Jamba and AMD’s OLMo failed to make the expected impact, despite their ambitious capabilities. As Hugging Face statistics reveal, many of these models couldn’t break through, leaving us wondering who will truly lead the way in the LLM race. Read the complete article to know more.
