A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

So if you translate his speech, is he saying India would create a low cost AI model which will fulfil some very basic objectives and not be anywhere near the level of the latest versions of GPT or Deepseek?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
