His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, has endorsed the launch of K2 Think, described as the world’s most advanced open-source reasoning model. Developed by the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based technology group G42, the model is set for release this week.
Reasoning models are widely recognised as the next great frontier of artificial intelligence (AI). K2 Think represents a major leap in AI, moving beyond recognition and content generation to reasoning and the ability to apply human-like logic, solve complex problems and make critical decisions.
The announcement coincided with the birth anniversary of the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a recognition of his pivotal role in driving technology, science, and innovation in the nation.
His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council praised the achievement as a testament to the UAE’s innovation-driven vision.
