On March 20, 2025, Pakistani tech firm Data Vault unveiled ‘Zahanat AI,’ the nation’s first indigenous generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) platform. This text-based AI model facilitates human-like conversations, answers queries, and assists across various domains.
A distinctive feature of Zahanat AI is its local hosting and training, tailored to Pakistani culture and regional challenges. It supports multiple languages, including English, Urdu, and local dialects, with plans for further linguistic expansion.
Privately funded and built on Meta’s Large Language Model Architecture (LLaMA) with 1.5 billion parameters, Zahanat AI represents a significant advancement in Pakistan’s AI landscape.
