The Institute of Foundation Models at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and Inception42 introduced the Jais 3 family on October 15. The announcement describes six models designed for Arabic, ranging from a 0.9-billion-parameter smallest model to a 375-billion-parameter largest model.

The developers say the models support a 512,000-token context window and report comparative results on Arabic tasks. Performance and benchmark findings are developer claims and are not presented as independent evaluations.
