Pakistani tech company Data Vault has unveiled the country’s first locally developed generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) platform, named #ZahanatAI, marking a major milestone in Pakistan’s artificial intelligence (#AI) landscape.

Spearheaded by entrepreneur Mehwish Salman Ali, co-founder and CEO of Data Vault and Zahanat AI, the platform promises to address Pakistan’s unique challenges with culturally sensitive and locally relevant solutions.

Zahanat AI is a text-based generative AI model designed to facilitate human-like conversations, answer questions, and assist in a variety of domains. Generative AI systems like Zahanat AI are capable of producing content such as text, images, audio, and video. Similar to other large language models (LLMs) like #ChatGPT, #DeepSeek, and #Meta-AI, it is trained on extensive datasets to understand and generate human-like text.

The Zahanat AI model supports English, Urdu, and regional languages, with plans to expand its linguistic capabilities further.

It is designed to handle a wide range of topics, including healthcare, mathematics, coding, and historical queries.

One of the key differentiators of Zahanat AI is that it is hosted and trained locally within Pakistan, making it uniquely equipped to address issues relevant to the country.
