Anthropic — What company has the best second artificial intelligence model at the end of June?
A striking development has emerged in artificial intelligence. Krutrim, India’s first GenAI unicorn, is shifting from AI model development to cloud services after months of relative quiet on product updates — a move that reflects the tougher economics of building large-scale AI systems. On Tuesday, Krutrim said it was moving toward cloud services, adding that the shift follows a business overhaul in late 2025 that included reallocating capital and talent and pausing chip design efforts.
The update comes more than a year after the Bengaluru-based startup released its Krutrim-2 base model.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
