Key Benefits of Core42’s Open-Weight Deployment:

• Enterprise-scale performance – Run the fastest, most demanding workloads at global scale, enabling advanced automation, decision-making, and real-time AI experiences.
• Sovereign-ready scalability – Deploy high-performance AI in-country with full sovereign controls, supporting secure operations in regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance, and national security.
• Optimized for committed environments – Deliver fast, scalable AI in-country with sovereign controls for organizations operating under committed infrastructure agreements, ensuring predictable cost and performance.
• Cost-efficient agentic AI – Run agentic workloads at the lowest possible cost while maintaining in-country deployment and sovereign controls, making advanced AI accessible to cost-sensitive use cases.

Available now through Compass API, these models let organizations run and adapt AI locally or in the cloud, with full transparency, fine-tuning, and sovereign deployment options. Customers can align performance, cost, and compliance to their needs.

This release marks a pivotal move toward enterprise AI autonomy. With open-weight access, businesses can shape AI to their unique needs and unlock new possibilities for innovation at scale.

This announcement builds on G42’s recent milestones, including the unveiling of a 5GW US-UAE AI campus and the launch of the 1GW Stargate UAE facility as Phase 1 of the project, as well as a $1.5 billion investment from Microsoft in 2024, reinforcing the UAE’s role as a global AI hub.
