Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, one of Indonesia’s largest telecom operators, and tech startup Goto, are launching a 70-billion parameter large language model and multilingual chat service to serve Indonesia’s giant consumer market.
The development builds on Sahabat-AI, an Indonesian large language model launched in mid-November. Indosat led the Sahabat-AI project, which is part of a drive to preserve local culture and dialects amid a global surge in AI development, currently led by models trained in the U.S. and China.
