Riyadh, August (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 26 أغسطس 2025ء) Available on web, iOS, and Android, HUMAIN Chat is launching first in Saudi Arabia as a national milestone, with regional rollout across the middle East and global expansion to follow soon. Built in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the Arabic-speaking world, HUMAIN Chat represents a defining step in sovereign AI designed for cultural depth, linguistic equity, and global competitiveness.
HUMAIN Chat is built for the more than 400 million Arabic speakers and 2 billion Muslims worldwide who have been underserved by generative AI. For the first time, people can create, learn, and connect in their own language, culture, and context.
Powered by ALLaM 34B, the app closes a historic gap in digital inclusion and enabling linguistic equality. HUMAIN Chat brings culturally intelligent responses grounded in our language, values, heritage and history. Features designed for real-world use include real-time web search for always up-to-date knowledge, Arabic speech input across multiple dialects, seamless bilingual switching between Arabic and English within the same conversation, conversation sharing to enable collaboration and reuse, and full compliance with Saudi PDPL, hosted end-to-end on HUMAIN infrastructure in the Kingdom.
It is more than an app, it is the first release in our HUMAIN IQ portfolio, a new generation of AI model products and solutions where scientific depth meets responsible design.
“The launch of HUMAIN Chat is a point of pride for Saudi Arabia, marking a historic milestone in our mission to build sovereign AI that is both technically advanced and culturally authentic,” said HUMAIN chief executive Tareq Amin.
"We are proving that globally competitive technologies can be rooted in our own language, infrastructure, and values -- built in Saudi Arabia by Saudi talent. This is not the end state, but the beginning of a journey to serve the Kingdom, the Arabic-speaking world, and beyond. The potential is limitless, accelerating innovation and progress across every dimension of commercial and social life,” Amin said.
HUMAIN's ALLaM 34B is not just another model, it is a milestone. ALLaM 34B builds on the previous released models developed by the National Center for AI under the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) national mandate. ALLaM 34B, its most advanced model, has been independently verified by Cohere on MMLU as the world’s most advanced Arabic LLM built in the Arab world and will continue to improve with consumer engagement post launch.
Arabic-first by design, yet 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. The result is unmatched fluency in Arabic and deep alignment with Islamic, Middle Eastern, and cultural nuance.
The team behind ALLaM and HUMAIN Chat embodies Saudi Arabia's new generation of AI leadership. Over 120 AI specialists, including 35 PhD holders, with a 50/50 gender ratio, have built this model from the ground up -- hosted in Saudi Arabia, by Saudis, with global talent alongside them.
ALLaM 34B’s technology is proof that Saudi Arabia is shaping the future of AI on its own terms, with talent, intellectual property (IP), and infrastructure rooted at home, and built for the world.
