Four final-year computer engineering students from Pimpri-Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE) have developed ‘Marathi Bhasha Vishwa’, an innovative AI project aimed at preserving and promoting Marathi. The project features two unique systems, namely ‘Marathi Tiny Stories’ and ‘Sant Sahitya AI’, that marry the power of small language models (SLMs) with the richness of Marathi literature.
