UAE’s G42 Launches Arabic Language AI Model
A team of engineers, scientists, and a semiconductor manufacturer from Silicon Valley worked together to publish sophisticated Arabic language software that can power applications for generative AI.
With 13 billion parameters, the new massive language model known as Jais was created from a large collection of data mixing Arabic and English, some of which came via computer code. There aren’t many large bilingual language models, according to the group of academics and engineers who started the research.
Supercomputers built by Silicon Valley-based Cerebras Systems, which makes chips the size of dinner plates that compete with Nvidia’s potent AI hardware, were used to develop the new language model. Because Nvidia’s processors are in short supply, businesses all around the world are looking for alternatives.
Jais, which takes its name from the highest mountain in the United Arab Emirates, is the result of a partnership between Cerebras, the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, and the AI-focused subsidiary Inception of the G42 technology conglomerate, based in Abu Dhabi.
