Mr. Kasima Tharnpipitchai, Head of AI Strategy at SCB 10X, stated that “Typhoon” was developed to address the limitations of general large language models, which often lack a deep understanding of Thai context and culture. By training on vast amounts of Thai language data and fine-tuning for cultural nuances, “Typhoon” achieves performance comparable to leading models like ChatGPT and GPT-4.
