core42 announces overhaul of compass platform and chat app

Cloud and AI infrastructure experts Core42 have overhauled their Compass platform for enhanced navigation and easier access while adding a wealth of new features, including a Compass Chat mobile app.

Earlier this year, the company launched a new inferencing platform — Compass Version 2.0 — integrating Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra inference accelerators, allowing users to leverage a suite of pre-optimized Generative AI, Embeddings, Natural Language Processing AI models, Computer Vision, and APIs.

The latest update enables developers to analyze their usage on the platform and also includes a Stable Diffusion text-to-image model for high-quality image generation, typography, and prompt responses to queries.

“The Compass platform is a testament to Core42’s pursuit of excellence and innovation in AI infrastructure. The additions of the revamped Compass platform, as well as the introduction of the Compass Chat mobile app, will redefine how businesses interact with AI and provide even greater flexibility and efficiency in today’s digital era,” announced Raghu Chakravarthi, EVP of Engineering, Core42.

Compass Chat — available on Android and iOS — is designed to boost productivity and integrates with Entra ID to enhance security and streamline onboarding. Meanwhile, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology improves data reliability and accuracy. The app features a unified interface, consolidating work and search histories while enabling a more efficient user experience.

“Compass Chat provides access to leading AI models like GPT-4o and JAIS 30B, ensuring advanced language processing capabilities. It also supports both Arabic and English and offers seamless, synchronized chats across devices, allowing users to maintain productivity at their desks or on the move,” added Chakravarthi.

With the latest update of its Compass platform, Core42 continues to strengthen its product offering and offers yet more proof that the UAE is rapidly becoming a global hub for AI innovation.
