Language is at the heart of identity, culture, and communication. Yet, many linguistic communities remain underserved in the AI revolution. That’s why the launch of SHERKALA, an innovative Kazakh Large Language Model (LLM), is a significant step forward. Built through a collaboration between Inception and MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence), SHERKALA is an open-source innovation designed for real-world impact. With the ability to understand Kazakh alongside English, Russian, and Turkish, it’s a step towards making AI more inclusive, scalable, and effective for diverse linguistic communities. By making SHERKALA open-source, the AI community can build on this foundation, ensuring that language is never a barrier to innovation.

Great workplaces are built through trust, innovation, and a shared vision. G42 has secured the 24th spot on the UAE’s Best Workplaces list, reaffirming our commitment to creating an environment where people can do their best work, challenge the status quo, and drive real impact.
