Cassava Technologies has partnered with Vambo AI, an African start-up, to accelerate the development and rolling out of AI solutions that address the continent's unique linguistic, cultural, and economic landscapes.
The partnership, which was formed through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to see Vambo AI leveraging Cassava's secure, high-performance AI Factory, which is equipped with NVIDIA GPU-based supercomputers, to accelerate the creation and distribution of African-trained language models and related AI systems, according to Cassava Technologies.
Vambo AI said the initiative is critical since it establishes a standard for AI solutions in Africa and marks a continental milestone.
Additionally, the partnership revolves around a collection of open-source large language models designed specifically for African languages and contexts.
It is also intended to empower developers, researchers, and enterprises to build inclusive, culturally intelligent AI application.
“Cassava is pleased to partner with Vambo AI, an African start-up making an incredible contribution to the continent’s AI ecosystem. Our advanced compute power and AI capabilities, combined with Vambo AI’s goal of enabling the first Africa-native large language model series, reflect both organisations’ commitment to Africa’s digital advancement, and to positioning the continent as a key contributor to global AI innovation,” said Ahmed El Beheiry, CEO of Cassava Intelligence.
