Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII) and AI71 have partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to broaden the reach of UAE-developed artificial intelligence models. TII, known for its Falcon series of AI models, collaborates with AI71, a company focused on creating enterprise products. The partnership aims to make these technologies more accessible globally.
The collaboration combines TII’s expertise in large language models, AI71’s proficiency in advanced AI agents, and AWS’s cloud-based services. This integration allows professionals worldwide to access Falcon and other customized AI solutions.
