Built in Saudi Arabia, tailor-made for the Arabic-speaking world, HUMAIN Chat represents a defining step in AI designed for cultural depth, linguistic equity, and global competitiveness.
Features designed for real-world use include real-time web search for always up-to-date knowledge, Arabic speech input across multiple dialects, and seamless bilingual switching between Arabic and English within the same conversation.
Arabic-first by design, but still fully bilingual in English, ALLaM 34B is trained on one of the largest Arabic datasets ever assembled, then refined with input from over 600 domain experts and 250 evaluators. Completely in line with the values of the modern Islamic world, the AI chatbot is perfectly trained to answer questions with Middle Eastern, Islamic, and cultural nuance.
The new launch is a call to action for every citizen to use it, test it, and help shape it into the world’s leading Arabic AI. This is a collective effort to deliver the best Arabic-first AI solution for the entire region, and soon, the world.
The company will enable capabilities to develop and deliver AI solutions locally, regionally, and globally. The AI powerhouse aspires to both enhance human capabilities and support the unlocking of new possibilities through the digital economy.
