Leave India as soon as possible...
No meaningful AI work is being done in India. Either my Quality or Quantity. Not enough jobs in India. I guess time to leave for the USA.
Lately I am feeling the same thing. These days AI work is mostly building apps on top of existing models from Huggingface or OpenAI/Gemini, at my workplace I haven’t seen anyone train a Deep Learning model from scratch in last 6 months. All that people are doing these days is finetuning, it feels as if we are at the mercy of American tech companies.
AI is a very time and hardware intensive field in which we Indians lack both of them. Access to cheap hardware is essential, using GPU over cloud reduces the cost but it is still not affordable for researchers and students (I know that students & teachers get certain free compute if they prove they are still in University but it is limited to few universities and application to get free compute is subjected to high scrutiny, so not really helpful).
Not true at all.
What's happening is there has been a lot of push for GenAI everyone wants to evaluate openAI or Gemini or ImageGen for their use cases. So everyone is spending time.
However moment I had to use these for production, I just had to go for our old approach.
But chatbots however, look
- none of them are making money (not chatgpt, but the ones companies are g building as wrappers). Everyone wants to experiment. That's why they are experimenting that's all...
- For conversation, yes they are no doubt the only reliable choice, so even if you find a way to mint money/create impact via chatbots, you will handle conversations via gpt4/3.5 but still build all the routers, intents etc in traditional way. Using chatgpt for these will only be your POC stage. They form a baseline accuracy. I built simpler but effective models than gpt for smaller subtasks
Guess what the same companies ask you to implement self -attention and cross attention using Pytorch or numpy in the interview. What a load of bs.
Please do share on how to apply and get jobs abroad.I work as Ai engineer.I need to run away or else my family will get me married.I am 26 yr old.
My skills revolve around computer vision and gen ai.
Tell them you're gay. Simple.
Lol😂
Is this true?
Yes for most of the companies this is the case
not at all for my circle
Hey,
Why do you feel so?
We have FMT as well right? I mean I know impact is fucked but FK is trying on LLMs etc
Besides, moving to US is not gonna happen unless you go for MS which is a massive loss.
what you mean meaningful? what is current work you are doing?
This makes no sense. There are no opportunities outside these days
India's AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with growing research, startups, and government initiatives. While the US might offer certain advantages, don't underestimate India's potential. Consider exploring diverse opportunities within India before deciding to leave.
