These may involve adapting Pronoia or incorporating additional AI models beyond the core platform to meet highly specialised use cases. This flexible model allows organisations across industries to tap into cutting-edge Arabic AI—whether through plug-and-play tools, enterprise integration, or fully tailored deployments. Autonomous Intelligence for Enterprise at Scale Several Fortune 500 companies are testing in production environments after participating in pilot programmes, according to company officials. The technology builds on a massive dataset compiled over 16 years, giving it contextual understanding that generic models lack when processing Arabic content. The company offers flexible deployment options, including cloud-based, on-premises, and API access. "What makes this significant is the autonomous capability," said AI Product lead, Andrii Klyiman, who orchestrated the launch. "Previous Arabic AI solutions required extensive human oversight. This represents a notable advancement in how enterprises can handle Arabic content at scale."

Tarjama launches Arabic.AI based on model that outperforms GPT-4o in Arabic
RIYADH: In a market saturated with English-first large language models, Tarjama is flipping the narrative. The UAE-based technology company today launched its platform, based on the Pronoia V2 Arabic-first large language model that it claims has outscored industry leaders ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Cohere on key Arabic benchmarks. Designed to process Arabic with near-human understanding, Pronoia touts itself as a tool for a range of uses including legal analysis, translation and proposal writing. 'It was a big surprise for us that this small model for specific niche tasks, can be better than (ChatGPT) 4o,' Andrii Klyman, senior AI product manager at Tarjama, told Arab News at a recent event in Riyadh. Founder Nour Al-Hassan in a statement: 'For too long, Arabic has remained an afterthought in the global AI landscape, 'We've built something fundamentally different—an autonomous system that actually understands the nuances of Arabic across multiple dialects and contexts.' In testing, Pronoia V2 achieved an average score of 76.8 percent across Arabic language benchmarks, outperforming GPT-4o by more than 18 percentage points. While the model can handle multilingual text, its strength lies in high-context Arabic. Tarjama has already developed several applications on top of it, including a spell-checker, legal contract analyzer, and its most recent interface, — a tool for business users. In one live demo, the system restructured an Arabic contract and highlighted risks based on local law. In another, a user uploaded a PowerPoint file, and the system not only translated the slides but reversed their direction — adapting layout and language simultaneously. A third version, Pronoia V3, is now in testing. Tarjama says it will deliver even stronger performance across Arabic dialects and achieve a COMET score above 94 — a key benchmark for translation quality. Tarjama's push to dominate Arabic AI is both technical and cultural. For years, the Arabic language has been underserved by leading AI tools, which often fail to understand its grammar, dialects, or even its script direction. Pronoia, by contrast, was purpose-built to fill that gap.
