Bodhan AI opens four Indic-language models

Bodhan AI and AI4Bharat launched four open-weight models for speech recognition, text-to-speech, translation, and OCR, with the speech model covering 27 Indian languages, The Hindu BusinessLine reports. The models use NVIDIA NeMo and are served through TensorRT-LLM and vLLM, giving Indian-language builders a more adaptable starting point than a single hosted chatbot. Treat the release as a localization option to benchmark—not a proven quality winner—alongside the archive’s sovereign-AI cost case.
