What has happened

3 September 2026 · L4 Models · 428B params · Reported

HUMAIN is owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Its new Arabic model is in research preview, so access is limited rather than general. The announcement says MiniMax, a Chinese laboratory, developed it on top of that lab's own model and trained it further on more than one trillion tokens of Arabic text.
