Now you have an alternative to the super popular but unfortunately not so transparent (you have no idea how it was trained, what data was used, is it safe …) base LLMs such as Qwen 2.5 or 3, to build your own reasoning or general purpose LLMs through post-train, SFT, RL, etc. It is 360-open and reproducible.

A big win for the UAE in its quest to be a global AI leader: the U.S. is authorizing the export of advanced Nvidia AI chips to @G42ai . I spoke with Acting Group Chief Global Affairs Officer, @TalalAlKaissi , who said the UAE has "competitive advantages that make it a center of gravity where we can attract these big companies."
