Litmus7 Doubles Down on Generative AI with New Innovation Hub
Kochi (Kerala) [India], August 13: In a bold move to solidify its role in the next wave of technological transformation, Litmus7 has officially announced its foray into generative AI, coupled with the opening of a brand-new AI Innovation Office in Trivandrum, India.
This expansion marks a pivotal moment for Litmus7, as it sets its sights on building advanced generative models, AI-first products, and scalable tools aimed at reshaping how businesses and consumers interact with information, content, and automation.
Neural Intelligence as a Strategic Bet
"Neural Intelligence is our grand vision where humans can teach their AI by simply interacting with it and the next generation AI system learns from experiences without the need for a curated dataset," said Venu Gopalakrishnan, Founder and CEO Litmus7. "We're investing in the people, the infrastructure, and the space to build AI that's not only powerful, but practical and human-centered."
The company has already begun developing digital companions powered by Neural Intelligence with applications ranging from workflow optimization to knowledge management.
Initial prototypes are being tested across customer service, marketing, product design, and engineering -- with plans to roll out AGI-enhanced features across its entire suite in 2026.
A New Office with a New Mission
The newly launched office -- located in Trivandrum, India -- will serve as the physical home of the company's growing AI team. Designed as a cross-functional space for scientists, engineers, designers, researchers, and product thinkers, the office blends high-tech labs with collaborative design studios. "This is more than just square footage," said Shiju Saseendaran, Head of AI Research, Litmus7."It's a signal of where we're headed -- toward next generation AI development, deeper research partnerships, and a global talent strategy that's rooted in curiosity, responsibility, and experimentation."
The space will also host workshops, hackathons, and AI speaker series to foster collaboration with local universities, startups, and research institutions.

OpenAI aims to stay ahead of rivals with new GPT-5 technology
Agencies ChatGPT is getting another upgrade. On Thursday, OpenAI unveiled a new flagship AI model, GPT-5, and began sharing the technology with the hundreds of millions of people who use ChatGPT, the company's online chatbot. During a briefing with journalists, OpenAI executives called GPT-5 a "major upgrade" over the systems that previously powered ChatGPT, saying the new technology was faster, more accurate and less likely to "hallucinate," or make stuff up. "It feels significantly better in obvious ways and in subtle ways," OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, said. "GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic -- a Ph.D.-level expert." Since launching the artificial intelligence boom in late 2022 with the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI has consistently improved the technology that underpins its chatbot. This began with the release of the company's GPT-4 technology in the spring of 2023 and continued through a series of AI models that could listen, look and talk and approximate the way people reason through complex problems. OpenAI's many rivals, including Google, Meta, the startup Anthropic and China's DeepSeek, have released similar technologies. This is the first time that OpenAI has used a so-called reasoning model to power the free version of ChatGPT. Unlike the previous technologies, a reasoning model can spend time "thinking" through complex problems before settling on an answer. "For most people on ChatGPT, this is their first introduction to reasoning," said Nick Turley, the OpenAI vice president who oversees ChatGPT. "It just knows when to 'think.'" OpenAI said that the technology "feels more human" than previous models and that it allowed even novices to build simple software apps from short text prompts. One OpenAI engineer asked the system to generate an online app that could help people learn French, and it created an app in minutes. Altman called the system a "significant step" along the path to the ultimate goal of the company and its rivals: artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a machine that can do anything the human brain can do. But he also acknowledged that it lacked many of the key ingredients needed to build such a machine. Many experts say there is no clear path to developing AGI. Earlier this week, OpenAI said it was "open sourcing" two other AI models that can power online chatbots, freely sharing the technology with researchers and business across the globe. Since unveiling ChatGPT three years ago, the company has mostly kept its technology under wraps. If people use these open-source models, OpenAI hopes they will also pay for its more powerful products. In addition to offering a free chatbot via the internet, OpenAI sells access to a more powerful chatbot for $20 a month and sells a wide range of AI technologies to businesses and independent software developers. The company is not yet profitable. It plans to raise $40 billion this year and is on a pace to pull in revenues of $20 billion by year's end. The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement of news content related to AI systems. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims.

Sam Altman says ‘25-year-olds in Mumbai or Bengaluru have never had more power,' shares bold vision for the future on Nikhil Kamath's podcast
From Code to Companies, AI Levels the Playing Field A Future Built on Ideas, Not Just Resources Why Family and Community Still Matter When Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath asked Sam Altman to imagine the life of a 25-year-old in Mumbai or Bengaluru, the OpenAI chief did not hesitate. For Altman, this is not just a good time to be starting out — it may be the best moment in on Kamath's WTF podcast, Altman painted an optimistic picture of what artificial intelligence means for young Indians entering the workforce. 'I think this is probably the most exciting time to be starting out one's career, maybe ever,' he said, according to the show's believes today's 25-year-old can achieve what once took decades of experience or large teams. Whether in programming, media creation, or entrepreneurship, tools like OpenAI's latest GPT-5 can act as a co-founder, strategist, and operations team rolled into one.'You could use GPT-5 to help you write the software for a product, handle customer support, draft marketing plans, even review legal documents,' he explained. 'All of these things that once required a lot of expertise, you now have AI to help you do.'For India specifically, Altman sees huge potential. 'If there is one large society in the world that seems most enthusiastic to transform with AI right now, it's India,' he told Kamath, praising the entrepreneurial energy and rapid adoption of AI-driven tools. He added that Indian user feedback has already shaped OpenAI's stressed that the AI era is an 'open canvas,' where constraints are fewer than ever before and creativity becomes the main differentiator. For young founders, that means the ability to launch ambitious projects with minimal resources. For those seeking jobs, it opens pathways into industries like science, software development, and emerging media, where AI accelerates what individuals can conversation took a personal turn when Kamath asked Altman about parenthood. Describing it as 'the coolest, most amazing, most emotionally overwhelming experience,' Altman said starting a family has been more fulfilling than he also shared a broader societal view: in a post-AGI world, family and community should regain importance. 'It's a problem for society that those things have been in retreat,' he said, expressing hope that with more abundance and time, people will turn back to what makes them message to a hypothetical 25-year-old in Mumbai or Bengaluru was clear: the world is in a rare moment where technology amplifies individual capability to unprecedented levels. With AI as a partner, opportunities are no longer limited by geography or resources — they're limited only by the boldness of one's ideas.

AI-generated wealth could be the future, predicts OpenAI's Sam Altman: 'As society gets richer...'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes artificial general intelligence (AGI) could dramatically change the way global wealth is created and shared. In a conversation with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath on the People by WTF podcast, Altman outlined a future where technology-driven abundance could lead to unprecedented economic redistribution. He suggested models such as sovereign wealth funds , universal basic income, and even new experimental currencies as ways to ensure society benefits from AI's output. Independence Day 2025 Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji gave India its own currency Swadeshi 2.0: India is no longer just a market, it's a maker Altman emphasised that as technological progress makes societies richer, mechanisms for sharing that wealth are likely to expand. He described his Worldcoin initiative as an attempt to uniquely identify humans in a privacy-protective way, ensuring people remain distinct in an AI-powered economy. Rethinking Capitalism and Interest Rates Discussing the long-term effects of AGI, Altman envisioned scenarios where interest rates could fall into negative territory, potentially around –2%, reflecting a world with an abundance of resources. He also speculated on the potential for short-lived economic anomalies before reaching a new equilibrium. Such a transitional period, he said, could see humanity take on massive projects, from advanced infrastructure to civilisation-scale engineering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo Kamath questioned whether AGI could create extreme corporate concentration, with one company controlling much of the global economy. Altman dismissed this as unlikely, comparing AI's adoption to the transistor — a breakthrough that became widely distributed across industries. Still, he noted that if such dominance did emerge, societal pressure would likely push back. Social Shifts in an AI-Driven World Altman expressed hope that greater abundance would allow people to refocus on family and community, which he feels have been eroded in recent decades. While Kamath observed that human desires are often shaped by competition and status, Altman agreed that people will continue to find new ambitions even in a post-scarcity world. The OpenAI chief also acknowledged uncertainty about AGI's exact economic effects, describing the outlook as both promising and unpredictable. While deflation could be a long-term trend, he warned that the transition might be unusual, with periods where capital and computing resources are especially valuable. India's Role in the AI Future Altman praised India's rapid embrace of AI, calling it the company's second-largest market and potentially its largest in the near future. He sees the country not only as a major consumer of AI but also as a future hub for developing globally competitive AI tools and platforms. The discussion reflected Altman's broader view that AGI will not only transform technology but also reshape economics, work, and society.
