GenAI Factory
The GenAI Factory is designed to be a production house for next-generation foundational GenAI models and best training/inference practices that address the technical challenges impeding more impactful deployment and widespread adoption in the Kingdom and the world. These models will be leveraged to drive impact in all four research, development and innovation application areas. The lead of this theme is Professor Peter Richtarik
