Amazing AI models are coming out of India. Yet the cost of running them is going to be huge. But I believe India can lead the world in locally run AI and give the cheapest AI access to our people - exactly like we did with cheap data that unlocked so much growth... ...By tapping the Himalayas as the base for AI clusters. Here's a simple idea I'm proposing for an AI data center: AI centers up in the Himalayas, may be in secure & stabilized tunnels, naturally cooled using pipes of ice cold air and frigid river water, powered by hydroelectric downstream. The entire Himalayan belt from Kashmir, Ladhak (potential for solar too), Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar can be used for these AI centers. Of course… this is just a rough idea to think about and try take it forward. There are many practical challenges. But I believe India can overcome them and lead the world in great but cheap and sustainable AI. Or I got a hunch China will definitely do it in the Himalayas.

Paradox: If you see a baby located 90 light-years from Earth, right now it would be a 90-year-old, but you see it in your present, as a baby. While the light takes time to reach you, the baby grows and ages. When you look at the universe, you are always looking at the past.
