Draft:Zahanat AI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zahanat AI is Pakistan's first indigenous generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) platform, launched in March 2025 by Mehwish Salman Ali and developed by the Pakistani technology company Data Vault. The platform is designed to provide culturally relevant, multilingual, and sovereign AI solutions tailored to Pakistan's digital and regulatory environment.

Overview

Zahanat AI was built using Meta's LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) architecture and features over 1.5 billion parameters. Developed in six to eight months, it was trained using a domestic multi-GPU infrastructure and was privately funded without external dependencies.[1]

Features

  • Multilingual Support: Supports English and Urdu, with plans to include regional languages like Sindhi, Pashto, and Balochi.[2]
  • Cultural Relevance: Specifically trained on data relevant to Pakistani norms and society.
  • Data Sovereignty: Hosted entirely within Pakistan, ensuring local control and compliance with national privacy policies.
