- 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.
Core42, a G42 company and AI enablement solutions provider, has announced 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 customisation 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 localised solutions, opening new market opportunities, and facilitating multi-lingual driven innovation for developers.
Efficient processing
Tailored for the Arabic language’s intricacies, JAIS 30B Chat 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.
“This next step in our collaboration with Microsoft signifies a pivotal moment in our commitment to equitable access to cutting-edge AI technologies. By taking advantage of Microsoft Azure to expand the reach of JAIS, we empower individuals and organizations worldwide to leverage AI for diverse applications, ultimately driving positive societal impact and advancing the frontier of artificial intelligence for all,” Talal Al Kaissi, Chief Product & Global Partnerships Officer at Core42, said.
“Our goal is to offer the most diverse and comprehensive model catalogue, and JAIS 30B Chat is another addition to our Model-as-a-Service offering on Azure AI for developers to expand their reach and uphold our commitment to offer more model options. That’s why we welcome Core42’s Arabic-centric state-of-the-art JAIS model to Azure,” said Ali Dalloul, Vice President, Azure AI Customer Experience Engineering at Microsoft Corp.
