In a major win for Arabic-first innovation, UAE-based language tech company Tarjama has unveiled Pronoia V2 — a next-gen large language model (LLM) that’s not just fast and efficient, but leaves global AI giants in the dust when it comes to Arabic language tasks.
Founded by Moroccan-born Nour Al Hassan, Tarjama has been at the forefront of Arabic language solutions since 2008. With Pronoia V2, the team is doubling down on its mission to bring world-class, culturally relevant AI to enterprises across the MENA region.
Pronoia is Beating the Best — In Arabic
When it comes to Arabic, most mainstream models fall short. But Pronoia V2 flips the script:
- ✅ 76.8% average across Arabic benchmarks
- ✅ Outperforms GPT-4o (58.05%), DeepSeek 70B (53.6%), and Cohere 7B (55.3%)
- ✅ Scores 92.4% on MT ARC Easy & 83.4% on MT Openbook QA
That’s up to 23% better performance than top global models — a bold statement from a regional player with deep local roots and technical precision.
“Arabic has been underserved by AI for too long,” said Nour Al Hassan, CEO of Tarjama. “Pronoia changes that. It’s not just smarter—it’s faster, more secure, and incredibly cost-effective.”
Designed for Real Business Impact
Pronoia isn’t just a fancy model—it’s built for the enterprise:
- ✔️ High-quality Arabic translations
- ✔️ Multilingual customer support
- ✔️ Contract review & legal automation
- ✔️ Regional content generation
- ✔️ Instant document processing
By running efficiently on just one GPU, Pronoia offers a low-cost, high-impact solution for businesses that want to streamline Arabic content workflows.
“We’ve seen businesses struggle with Arabic content,” says Al Hassan. “Pronoia turns what used to take hours into tasks that finish in minutes.”
Enterprise-Ready from Day One
This isn’t a lab experiment—it’s a deployable product with real-world traction:
- ✅ Enterprise-grade encryption
- ✅ On-premise or cloud deployment
- ✅ Custom model training
- ✅ API access for seamless integration
With 7B and 14B parameter versions already available, and even larger models in the works, Pronoia V2 supports Arabic and English across text, audio, and structured data. It’s already redefining enterprise workflows in legal, medical, and government sectors.
Built Smart, Not Just Big
What makes Pronoia different? It’s not about the biggest model—it’s about the smartest architecture.
“Size doesn’t always mean strength,” said Iyad Ahmad, CTO of Tarjama. “We’ve shown that precision training beats brute force.”
This thoughtful approach gives Tarjama a huge edge in performance and efficiency—something even Silicon Valley is watching closely.
What’s Next? Pronoia Vv32
Tarjama isn’t stopping here. The team is already working on Pronoia Vv32, aiming for:
- 80%+ average across Arabic benchmarks
- 94+ COMET score for translation quality
This would set a new gold standard for Arabic AI — built entirely in the region, for the region.
Why This Matters for MENA
For too long, Arabic-speaking markets have relied on western-built models with patchy Arabic support. With Pronoia, MENA now has its own world-class solution — built with cultural fluency, linguistic depth, and enterprise-grade tech.
Tarjama’s Pronoia V2 isn’t just a leap forward in AI — it’s a statement: Arabic deserves better, and we’re building it ourselves.
Pronoia is available now via API, on-cloud, or on-prem.
