Lhasa, March 17 (Xinhua) — DeepZang, a large-scale language model for the Tibetan language, was unveiled Sunday in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region (XAR).

This language model is the first of its kind in the country.

Developed by local company CHOKNOR, the platform supports intelligent interaction in Tibetan, Chinese, and English and offers a variety of features, including AI-powered dialogue, real-time translation, and speech-to-text transcription.

According to the company's founder, Tanzen Norbu, the model has now accumulated nearly 70 million recordings from standardized parallel corpora and more than 30,500 hours of audio recordings covering the three main dialects of the Tibetan language.

DeepZang is the first Tibetan-language model in the country to receive national registration of generative AI algorithms and models, filling the technological gap in this field and helping to promote high-quality AI development in Tibetan.

According to the developer, just an hour after the app's launch, the number of users who downloaded it increased by several thousand.

“The launch of DeepZang means that minority languages now have their own voice in the age of artificial intelligence,” said Tanzen Norbu. -0-
