Academic laboratory In the United Arab Emirates today it has launched a model and agent of artificial intelligence, two large language models (LLM) and a new research center in the Silicon Valley, when the country increases investments in this field.
Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) from ZAA revealed the world model AI called the PAN, which can be used to build physically realistic simulations for testing and improving the activities of AI agents.
Eric Xing, president and professor of MBZUAI and the leading AI researcher, today revealed models and laboratory at the Mountain View Museum in California. In recent years, ZAA has made large investments in artificial intelligence under the leadership of Sheikh Tahnound Bin Zayed Al Nahyana, a well -known nation of national security advisor and younger brother Mohamed Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Xing claims that the new ZAA center in Sunnyvale, California will help the nation to use the most concentrated source of knowledge and talent of AI. “We create paths to exchange knowledge with leading institutions and access to the talent pool, which understands how to scale research in relation to real applications,” said Xing in the advertisement.
MBZUAI has also revealed today “Pan-agent, an experimental agent AI trained to perform the tasks of reasoning in the Mr. World. MBZAUI model claims that AI researchers will be able to utilize you to test agents in simulated scenarios in the real world, including self-propelled cars on virtual roads.
The demonstration at today’s event showed that the pan is used to simulate self -propelled cars moving on busy roads, drones flying through unknown spaces and robots operating in home environments.
Many AI researchers believe that “world models”, like the Lord, will be crucial for building more advanced AI systems, including virtual assistants and robots capable of working in unknown environments. At the beginning of this week, the main AI Google, Demis Hassabis, emphasized the importance of world modeling for AI’s plans for his company.
In addition to the modern world model, MBZUAI has announced two modern immense language models (LLM) at today’s event. K2, a 65-million parameter model optimized in terms of reasoning tasks, has been trained on 80 A100 systems using the DGX NVIDIA cloud, developed using 35 percent less calculation using 35 percent than Lama 2 Meta in the same size. Mbzuai also revealed Jais, who, he says, is the most advanced Arab language in the world.
President Donald Trump went to the Middle East this month to broker contracts with the participation of American companies and Saudi Arabia, Zea and Qatar.
Offers with the participation of American technological giants, including NVIDIA, AMD, AWS and Qualcomm, can aid drive a boom for the fallen industry of the region AI, providing key AI systems and the capacity of the data center. Agreements are also strategically vital for the US government because they promise to expand American technological influences against China’s key rivals.
Trump said in Abu Dhabi this month that several unnamed American companies would cooperate with ZAA to build the largest AI data center cluster outside America. The contract will include a system designed to prevent chip or computing energy used by China.
