Huawei unveils Arabic LLM, new data centre in Egypt as part of revenue diversification strategy

Full Article

Huawei Technologies has introduced an Arabic large language model (LLM) and Egypt's first public cloud service in Cairo to tap into the growing demand for generative artificial intelligence in the region. The Arabic LLM, based on Huawei's Pangu, is a 100 billion parameter model trained with local data to understand the Arab world's culture, history, and customs. With an accuracy rate of 96%, the LLM covers over 20 Arabic-speaking countries and various industries like banking and education.

The launch of the Arabic LLM and cloud service in Egypt aligns with Huawei's strategy to attract overseas industrial clients amidst US sanctions. The company's focus on industrial uses for its AI models, like the Pangu AI model, sets it apart from other firms emphasizing ChatGPT-like services. Huawei's cloud computing business has been a significant growth sector, expanding 21.9% last year to $7.6 billion, showcasing its efforts to diversify revenue streams.
