Jais 3 brings open Arabic AI models with speech and agent features

MBZUAI’s Institute of Foundation Models and Inception42 released Jais 3 on 15 October 2026. It’s a family of six open Arabic language models, from 900 million to 375 billion parameters, plus Jais Speech, which turns spoken Arabic and its dialects into text. The performance claims come from the developers’ own evaluations, so independent tests will show how well they hold up.
