Azim Premji's PremjiInvest, an Indian family office, announced it would be investing USD 10B into artificial intelligence companies. It would also be fine-tuning its proprietary AI investment tools, a senior executive at the firm revealed.
According to TK Kurien, managing partner and chief investment officer, PremjiInvest started developing AI tools three years ago and hired 14 AI engineers.
Among its over 140 total investments, Cohesity Inc., Holistic AI, Ikigai, and Pixis are AI startups. Kurien was reported to plan to allow open-source developers to access some of its AI tools.

For 2024, the family office predicts the waning of single model dominance, RLAIF can be as good as RLHF, LLM observability will be a huge challenge in the coming years, and models trained on multiple modalities outperform those trained on a single modality.
