Jais Chat

Jais Chat is an Arabic-focused generative AI assistant built around the Jais family of large language models. It is designed from the ground up to understand Arabic language, culture, values, expressions, and regional linguistic differences rather than treating Arabic as a secondary translation language. The current Jais Chat website highlights a 70-billion-parameter Arabic-first model and provides access through the web as well as iOS and Android apps. jaischat.ai

Users can ask questions, explain Arabic phrases and proverbs, simplify complex text, generate and rewrite content, summarize information, brainstorm ideas, and work across Arabic and English. Jais is particularly useful for Arabic speakers because of its focus on cultural understanding and Arabic linguistic nuances. jaischat.ai

The wider Jais family continues to evolve. Jais 3, released in October 2026 by MBZUAI’s Institute of Foundation Models and Inception42, introduces six open language models ranging from 900 million to 375 billion parameters, a 512,000-token context window, stronger reasoning and tool use, and support for Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects ranging from Gulf Arabic to North African Arabic. Jais Speech also supports speech recognition across dialects from 19 Arab countries and can handle code-switching between Arabic, English, and French. MBZUAI
