To date, Sahabat AI has developed a range of model families, including:

It supports Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, and English, making it a significant advancement in AI for the Indonesian linguistic landscape.

This multilingual model supports Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, and English.

Sahabat-AI is integrated into GoTo’s Dira AI voice assistant, allowing users to access both Gojek and GoPay payment services with voice commands in native languages and dialects.
