ABU DHABI – Core42, a G42 company and full-spectrum AI enablement solutions provider, is excited to announce the availability of its latest Arabic Large Language Model (LLM), JAIS 30B Chat, on Microsoft Azure. Announced by Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, at the kick-off of Microsoft Build 2024, this collaboration aims to simplify access to cutting-edge AI, enabling deployment across diverse industries.
JAIS available through Microsoft Azure AI’s Model-as-a-Service offering, provides pre-trained model and infrastructure allowing customization to build with Core42’s models to meet diverse needs and specifications. The integration bridges the gap in generative AI accessibility for the world’s 422 million Arabic speakers, enabling use-cases such as connecting to end-users with localized solutions, opening new market opportunities, and facilitating multi-lingual driven innovation for developers.
JAIS 30B Chat sets new industry standards with its unparalleled generative AI capabilities, excelling in cross lingual conversations, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), summarization, content generation, and reasoning. Tailored for the Arabic language’s intricacies, it fosters inclusivity and addresses critical technology gaps for Arabic speakers. JAIS 30B Chat is trained on a total of 1.63 trillion tokens, which includes a substantial contribution of 475 billion Arabic tokens, complemented by English tokens and code. With this code-augmented bilingual training dataset, JAIS 30B Chat enhances logical reasoning abilities in both languages, positioning it as the premier Arabic LLM for high-quality output and complex downstream tasks. JAIS 30B Chat enables more efficient processing over larger volumes of Arabic text compared to most other English LLMs.
