TWO AI has launched the SUTRA for Startups program, an initiative aimed at accelerating startups with access to its multilingual LLM-based services. The program will select 10 startups from India, Korea, Japan, or the Middle East to receive API access to SUTRA and 1 billion tokens for free.
The selected startups will leverage SUTRA's scalable and cost-efficient text-based models to develop solutions targeting global markets. This marks the first round of the SUTRA for Startups program, designed to foster innovation by providing affordable multilingual LLM capabilities to emerging companies.
Eligible startups must have existing LLM-based services and be headquartered in the specified regions. Applications are open until July 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST. Winners will be announced soon after the submission deadline.
TWO will evaluate applicants based on factors such as the establishment date, number of employees, and revenue to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria. Selected startups will be contacted via email or phone to finalize details and provide API access.
Jio backed TWO AI recently announced the launch of SUTRA through its new AI app, ChatSUTRA, available at two.chat.ai. It is now accessible via web and will soon be available on iOS and Android.
The startup raised a $20M seed fund in February 2022 from Jio Platforms and South Korean internet conglomerate Naver. “Jio has been one of our key partners for a long time and has invested in us from the very beginning,” said Pranav Mistry, the founder of TWO, in an exclusive interaction with AIM.
Another product from TWO is Geniya which can browse data from the internet using Google, rivalling Perplexity AI. Mistry said that Geniya is still in public beta and users can try it out, following the official launch soon.
