Inception, a company that develops advanced AI models backed by G42, has launched JAIS 70B, a large language model (LLM) specially tailored for Arabic natural language processing (NLP).

The 70-billion parameter model was created to enhance the integration of generative AI across sectors, including content creation, customer service, and data analytics.

The new model offers open-source bilingual AI capabilities in Arabic and English. The technology was developed through rigorous training and fine-tuning of 370 billion tokens, including the largest Arabic dataset ever used in an open-source foundational model, with around 330 billion Arabic tokens.

Along with JAIS 70B, Inception has also announced the launch of 20 AI models ranging from 590 million to 70 billion parameters. The new tools are capable of addressing the needs of small-scale applications as well as complex enterprise solutions.

The AI models have been fine-tuned for chat applications using 1.6 trillion tokens in Arabic and English. Dr. Andrew Jackson, Inception’s CEO, highlighted the company’s passion for preserving Arabic language and heritage while democratizing AI access:

“Releasing JAIS 70B and this new family of models reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest-quality AI foundation model for Arabic-speaking nations,” he noted.

After launching JAIS-13B and JAIS-13B-chat in August 2023, Inception introduced JAIS-30B and JAIS-30B-chat, with a focus on Arabic-centric models. JAIS 70B and JAIS 70B-chat have both demonstrated superior performance in English and Arabic benchmarks compared to the earlier models.

Neha Sengupta, Principal Applied Scientist at Inception, explained that JAIS variants were trained from scratch and outperformed others that were adapted from existing models. Inception also used Llama2 to enhance efficiency, reduce computational complexity and lessen environmental impact when developing JAIS 70B.

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
