OpenAI and Meta Compete for AI Partnership with India’s Reliance Industries

Both tech giants are in ongoing talks to leverage Reliance’s telecom network and planned data center for AI expansion in India.

OpenAI and Meta are separately pursuing partnerships with Reliance Industries to strengthen their AI presence in India.
OpenAI is exploring the use of Reliance’s Jio network to distribute AI solutions, including ChatGPT.
Meta is reportedly interested in hosting its Llama models locally and collaborating on AI business initiatives with Reliance.
Reliance’s planned data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, is a key focus for both companies, offering significant infrastructure opportunities.
These potential partnerships aim to address Indian government concerns over foreign AI dominance and bolster relations with local consumers and businesses.
