Agri LLM Dhenu 1.0 on pilot to seed a new AI revolution

Four-year-old agricultural AI startup Kissan AI’s founder Pratik Desai last month unveiled Dhenu 1.0, a seven billion parameter large language model for agriculture.

Named after Kamadhenu, a divine bovine-goddess described in Hinduism as the mother of all cows, the model is trained on high-quality conversational datasets, specially focused on Indian agriculture practices. Dhenu is an agricultural LLM specifically designed to help Indian farmers with agriculture-related questions.
