A family of Arabic-centric large language models named Jais 2 has been developed by MBZUAI, Cerebras, and Inception. The models include a 70B parameter version, which is reportedly the largest open Arabic-centric LLM trained from scratch, and an 8B parameter variant. Jais 2 demonstrates strong performance on Arabic benchmarks, including culturally specific tasks like poetry and religion, as well as general tasks like translation and summarization, while also showing competitive English results. The models are released on Hugging Face under a commercially permissive license, with the 70B version available as a chat application. AI
