Pak-LLM is a sovereign large language model platform built specifically for Pakistan. It provides an AI assistant optimized for Urdu and regional scripts, with on-premise infrastructure to keep data within Pakistani borders.

Question 2

How does Pak-LLM handle Urdu text?

Accepted Answer

Pak-LLM uses a custom tokenizer built for Nastaliq and Naskh scripts, reducing the character-segmentation overhead found in generic Western LLMs by up to 95% in internal benchmarks. This means faster responses and lower compute cost per Urdu query.
