Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage take a much-needed break from doom-scrolling to celebrate some of the best things technology has ever done.



As befitting a pair of uber geeks, there’s a love letter to the Internet, a passionate defense of spectacles, and Rich’s solo swim in the waters of gaming.



They also dissect their biggest tech disappointments, from the unfulfilled promises of space travel to the stagnation of smartphones. And the need for temperature-regulating clothing!



Lastly, they gaze into their crystal balls (or maybe just their smartphone screens) and give Cyber Santa a wish list that includes talking to animals, 15-minute cities, personalized health care and, of course, Matt as a Battle Bot.

On this episode of Tech Talk, we’re joined by Khalil Nooh, Co-Founder and CEO of Mesolitica, a Malaysian startup at the forefront of developing large language models (LLMs), who have recently built MaLLaM, a generative AI LLM specifically designed to understand and process local linguistic nuances like slangs, colloquialisms, and diverse dialects. The LLM is focused on Bahasa Malaysia and 16 other regional languages which is said to transform industries across the country.



We’ll dive into the technical intricacies behind MaLLaM, which has been trained on nearly 200 billion tokens from 197 datasets of Malay-specific content. Khalil will also discuss how this powerful LLM is already revolutionizing AI applications in customer service, content generation, and data analysis. Plus, we’ll explore the challenges of embedding cultural relevance into AI systems, and Mesolitica’s exciting plans for the future as they continue to enhance MaLLaM.
