PM launches ILMU, Malaysia's first home-grown multimodal AI
Fully developed, owned and operated in Malaysia, it is built by YTL AI Labs, in partnership with Universiti Malaya. 12 Aug 2025 08:43pm Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim delivers his keynote address at the official launch of the ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit 2025 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, today. - Photo by Bernama KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim launched Malaysia's home-grown multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model, 'ILMU', during the inaugural ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit 2025 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) today. ILMU is Malaysia's own multimodal large language model (LLM), trained on local language and data to understand our culture, context and daily realities. Fully developed, owned and operated in Malaysia, it is built by YTL AI Labs, in partnership with Universiti Malaya (UM). ILMU keeps data local and gives the nation strategic control over its AI future, ensuring we lead with intelligence rooted in our own values and voice. The name ILMU stands for Intelek Luhur Malaysia Untukmu, reflecting the model's core values of 'Intelek', for context-aware intelligence; 'Luhur', for ethical foundations rooted in Malaysian values; 'Malaysia', for cultural and linguistic fluency; and 'Untukmu', because it is built to serve all Malaysians. ASEAN Secretary-General Dr Kao Kim Hourn and Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo were also present at the launch. Meanwhile, Gobind, in a statement, applauded the establishment of ILMU, a groundbreaking Malaysian innovation by YTL AI Labs that reflects the national vision for a future driven by technology, inclusivity, and cultural relevance. "Built by Malaysians for Malaysians, ILMU showcases our ability to create world-class AI infrastructure while preserving our linguistic and cultural identity. "This is more than just technology; it is a step towards empowering our people, our businesses, and our nation in the digital era,' he said. YTL Power International Bhd managing director Datuk Seri Yeoh Seok Hong said ILMU represents YTL's commitment to innovation, rooted in Malaysia's diverse cultural and intellectual heritage. YTL AI Labs said ILMU performed on par with state-of-the-art models like GPT-4o and Llama 3.1. It said ILMU achieved the highest score among all frontier models in Bahasa Melayu language understanding (MalayMMLU - a test of multi-domain knowledge in Malay), demonstrating stronger performance on real-world prompts. ILMUchat (the AI Chatbot) for consumers will be available for early access on Malaysia Day, Sept 16, 2025. The public is welcome to register their interest at - BERNAMA

Perseids meteor shower to peak tonight, with an estimated 100 meteors in an hour, says MYSA
KUALA LUMPUR: The Perseids meteor shower is expected to peak late on Tuesday (Aug 12) night till early Wednesday (Aug 13) morning, offering a potential 100 meteors appearing in the night sky within an hour, the Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) said. The agency said that the annual phenomenon, which occurs between July and August, can be viewed by the naked eye without requiring a telescope if observers are in a dark area free of light poluttion. "For Malaysian observers, the shower might not be so clear with the presence of the moon in its waning gibbous phase that can result in brighter night skies and reduce the number of meteors seen," the agency posted on its Facebook account on Tuesday. MYSA also shared several steps to follow, including choosing an open dark area, adapting the eyes to the darkness for 15 to 20 minutes and not to focus on the Perseus constellation because meteors can appear from many directions. Named after the constellation Perseus, the Perseid meteor shower phenomenon occurs when the Earth crosses the orbital path of Comet Swift-Tuttle, which has an estimated nucleus diameter of 26 kilometers, and takes 133 years to complete an orbit around the Sun. According to MYSA, as the comet orbits the Sun, the dust released due to the sublimation process will eventually scatter and form a path filled with the remnants of the comet. "This remnant will eventually enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up, forming a long glowing streak,' said MYSA, adding that the comet, which last approached Earth in 1992, is expected to approach again in 2126. - Bernama

Perseids meteor shower peaks tonight with 100 meteors per hour
KUALA LUMPUR: The Perseids meteor shower will reach its peak intensity late tonight into early tomorrow morning, with up to 100 meteors potentially visible per hour. The Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) confirmed the annual celestial event, which occurs between July and August, can be observed without telescopes in areas free from light pollution. However, MYSA noted that visibility in Malaysia may be affected by the bright waning gibbous moon, which could reduce the number of visible meteors. The agency advised stargazers to select open, dark locations and allow their eyes 15 to 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness for optimal viewing. Unlike typical stargazing, observers should avoid focusing solely on the Perseus constellation as meteors may appear from various directions across the sky. The Perseids occur when Earth passes through debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle, which has a 26-kilometre-wide nucleus and orbits the Sun every 133 years. MYSA explained that comet particles entering Earth's atmosphere burn up, creating the characteristic glowing streaks across the night sky. The comet last approached Earth in 1992 and is expected to make its next close pass in 2126. – Bernama
