RIYADH: The new Saudi-made Arabic artificial intelligence large language model launched by PIF-back Humain represents a “transformative leap” for the technology, the firm’s deputy CEO has told Arab News.
Yasser Al-Onaizan, also Humain’s president for data and AI models, told Arab News how the ALLAM 34B large language model was built on the largest known Arab language dataset.
The ALLAM chat is Humain’s first application in its AI suite and is powered by an Arabic model called ALLAM 34B. It is built in Saudi Arabia by Saudis and was launched at an event in Riyadh on Tuesday.
“We are confident that Saudi Arabia is taking all the necessary steps to become a global AI powerhouse, and Humain is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation. Our vision aligns strategically with the Kingdom’s ambitious national strategy, where we’re not just participants, but we are actively shaping the future of AI,” Al-Onaizan said.
ALLAM was independently ranked as the world’s most advanced Arabic-first AI model. While powering Arabic chat for customers, the model also has applications for enterprise, government services and financial systems.
