Krutrim’s ‘surprising’ reply to users
An X user named Raghav Arora wrote: “Something seems super fishy. KrutrimAI says it was created by OpenAI.”
He even shared a screenshot of him asking the model “Who are you?”, to which the model replied “I am an artificial intelligence created by OpenAI”.
Another X user named Jason Samual also reported seeing similar results. When this user asked a similar question, Ola’s Krutrim AI model replied: “Yes, my large language model is developed by OpenAI…OpenAI created me.”
Some users also started trolling Krutrim and claimed that it was just a “wrapper” around OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This suggested that Krutrim was passing on user questions to ChatGPT, and was sharing the OpenAI-made chatbot’s answers as its own.
Other users also questioned Krutrim’s valuation for which the company has $50 million at a valuation of $1 billion.
What the company has to say
Ola Krutrim acknowledged the responses offered by its AI model and said that the replies were caused by a data leak from an open source dataset on which the model had been trained.
Krutrim’s official X handle wrote: “Thanks for sharing this, it is very helpful and will help improve our product. We investigated the issue and found the root cause to be a data leakage issue from one of the open-source datasets used in our LLM fine-tuning.”
The company quickly fixed the problem as we at TOI-Gadgets now when tried giving the same prompt and Krutrim AI replied that it was built by Ola Krutrim.
