Mr. Kasima Tharnpipitchai, Head of AI Strategy at SCB 10X, a
subsidiary of SCBX Group, stated: "We are pleased that Typhoon is
now a part of Samba-1, making it available to SambaNova’s customers
around the world. The power and scalability of Samba-1 is now
enhanced with Typhoon, a series of Thai Large Language Models
(LLMs).”
Typhoon-1.5X has been recently launched, offering significant
advancements in Thai NLP and AI. Available in 8B and 70B sizes, it
is optimized for the Thai language and performs comparably to top
models like ChatGPT and GPT-4. Built on Llama3, it features
enhanced training and alignment techniques, including improved
human alignment in instruct models.
Typhoon is now available in open beta, offering two models. The
Pre-trained Model focuses on Thai language proficiency, covering
vocabulary, context, cultural nuances, and global knowledge. This
model is open source and freely available for download, promoting
competitiveness in Thailand’s AI industry. The Instruction-tuned
Model builds on this foundation, enabling tasks such as
translations, summaries, and question answering, and is accessible
through an API service.
Mr. Kaweewut Temphuwapat, Head of R&D and Innovation Lab,
SCBX noted: "Large language models have emerged as powerful tools,
and Typhoon has the potential to truly lead the Thai AI landscape.
It addresses the language gap in models primarily trained in
English by overcoming resource limitations associated with the Thai
language. By integrating Typhoon into Samba-1, we believe AI
developers will have an enhanced experience, advancing AI
innovations and strengthening Thailand's AI industry."
"Samba-1 offers the most advanced models from open source, which
ensures that we always have access to the world's best and fastest
AI models," said Rodrigo Liang, Co-Founder and CEO of SambaNova
Systems. "The addition of Typhoon fits into this strategy; we’re
pleased to incorporate its capabilities into this world-leading
model."
“AI developers across industries including banking and financial
services, now have a new platform to accelerate their AI journey,”
said Marshall Choy, SVP Product, SambaNova Systems. “The
integration of Typhoon LLMs into the Samba-1 Composition of Experts
delivers highest inference performance with less infrastructure and
cost than ever before.”
SambaNova's unique Composition of Experts architecture
aggregates multiple expert models and improves performance and
accuracy by selecting the best expert for each application. Typhoon
runs optimally on SambaNova's SN40L chip with its 3-tier Dataflow
memory architecture.
About Typhoon Thai LLM
"Typhoon" is a series of open source Large Language Models
tailored for the Thai language, rivaling the capabilities of the
GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models in Thai contexts. Its effectiveness has
been assessed against benchmarks derived from Thai language exams
akin to high school standards and other standardized assessments in
Thailand. "Typhoon" addresses the language gap prevalent in models
predominantly trained in English, rectifying the scarcity of
resources for the Thai language.
Interested developers can download the Typhoon models under open
source licenses free of charge today. Find out more at
