The world’s first bilingual LLM dedicated to climate intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) model trained on massive amounts of text data to learn patterns, grammar, context, and semantics of language.
These models use techniques from the field of natural language processing (NLP) to process and generate text in a way that can simulate human-like conversation and understanding.
LLMs hold the potential to significantly impact society and industries by bridging the gap between humans and machines.
Through cutting-edge research and partnerships, MBZUAI is pioneering LLMs that are efficient, effective, and accurate. In addition, our faculty are working on foundation models for biology and climate change, over different data modalities.

JAIS CLIMATE
Jais Climate is the world’s first bilingual large language model dedicated to climate and sustainability. Developed through a partnership between MBZUAI and Core42, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi-based technology holding group G42, it caters to government decision-makers, business leaders, students, and families, making climate data accessible to more than 274 million Arabic and 1.4 billion English speakers worldwide. Jais Climate is fine-tuned with 1.4 million climate-related instructions to provide detailed information about the UAE’s environmental policies, as well as the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP28 UAE.
JAIS
Jais is the highest quality open-source Arabic large language model in the world. Homegrown in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, Jais caters for over 400-million Arabic speaking individuals. Jais outperforms existing Arabic models by a sizable margin and is very competitive with English models of similar size, despite being trained on significantly less English data. Jais was developed by Inception, a G42 company, in partnership with Cerebras and MBZUAI. MBZUAI led the training and the evaluation of the model, which played an instrumental role in enhancing the model's capabilities and benchmarking it against the existing alternatives.

Vicuna
Vicuna is an open-source chatbot that not only delivers exceptional performance but also comes at a significantly reduced environmental footprint. With a training cost of just $300 USD and a tiny energy consumption compared to its counterparts, Vicuna exemplifies the power of innovation in creating sustainable solutions. The model is highly competitive with ChatGPT and Google’s Bard scoring around 90% on subjective language assessments and making it the strongest known, publicly available chatbot alternative. Vicuna is the outcome of a global collaboration between researchers from MBZUAI, UC Berkeley, CMU, Stanford, and UC San Diego who came together to address the unsustainable costs associated with chatbots.
