KUCHING: Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg envisions the state developing its own Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA), which will consolidate local data and be shared globally.

Proposing the Artificial Intelligence (AI) model as “DeepSar”, he said he was inspired by the success of Chinese engineer Liang Wenfeng, who founded DeepSeek, an AI model capable of rivalling those developed in the United States.
