Master, a French startup that aims to compete with major American companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, has launched a new model called Master Saba. According to a report by TechCrunch, this model is specifically designed to meet the needs of Arabic-speaking countries. Master Saba is a relatively small model, containing 24 billion parameters, which is smaller compared to other models with more parameters, but what sets it apart is its high performance in processing Arabic content. It's worth noting that reducing parameters can contribute to improved performance and reduced latency, but Saba shows remarkable performance in handling Arabic language, outperforming the previous Master Smol 3 model. In addition to its focus on Arabic language, the model reflects cultural influences from South Asia due to the cultural interaction between the Middle East and South Asia. As a result, Master Saba also achieves excellent performance with some Indian languages. This is not just a technical development, but a strategic move by Master to focus more on the Middle East. It is expected that Master Saba will attract more customers in the region, especially in industries that rely on artificial intelligence to support conversations or generate Arabic content. The model can be used in various applications, such as smart conversations or creating Arabic content that is more compatible with the needs of users in the region. It can also be customized and developed to meet the requirements of companies in sensitive industries such as energy, finance, and healthcare. It's worth noting that Master, despite its European roots, has proven its commitment to providing multi-language support since the launch of its first model, Master 7B. With the launch of Master Saba, the company continues to reinforce this trend, with plans to expand its support for regional languages in the future.
