UAE launches new low-cost AI model, challenging OpenAI and DeepSeek. Meet K2 Think


The technology may be a player in the global AI race.

A new, cheaper artificial intelligence (AI) model has entered the technology race, this time from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday unveiled the release of a low-cost reasoning model that it hopes will rival DeepSeek and OpenAI. 

In January, the AI bubble got a shot of air after China-based research lab DeepSeek said it had been closely catching up to the achievements of the United States’s OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, using a fraction of its budget and energy. 

The UAE’s model, called K2 Think, is smaller in terms of parameters, or the configuration variables of a machine learning model which control how it processes data and makes predictions, compared to its AI competitors, including DeepSeek. However, the researchers behind it say its performance is on par with OpenAI and DeepSeek’s reasoning models.

Israel backs away from West Bank annexation plan after UAE warning – WaPo

A public warning from the United Arab Emirates prompted the Israeli government to drop a planned discussion on annexing the West Bank, the Washington Post has reported. A senior UAE diplomat reportedly told Israeli media earlier this week that such a move would be a “red line” that would block Israel’s path to regional integration.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to discuss the issue at a major government meeting on Friday, according to local media. On Wednesday, UAE special envoy Lana Nusseibeh told the Times of Israel that annexation would “foreclose the idea of regional integration.”

“For every Arab capital you talk to, the idea of regional integration is still a possibility, but annexation to satisfy some of the radical extremist elements in Israel is going to take that off the table,” she stated.

The UAE was the first Arab nation to normalize relations with Israel in over a quarter century under the Abraham Accords brokered by President Donald Trump during his first term in office.

The public warning from Abu Dhabi “came as a surprise,” an Israeli official told the Post, calling the situation “very unusual.”

On Thursday, the issue of annexation was removed from the Israeli ministerial meeting agenda, according to the newspaper.

Washington has not taken a stance on the issue so far. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described potential annexation as “not a final thing” earlier this week, adding that he was “not going to opine on that.”

The West Bank returned to the spotlight earlier this year after a group of Israeli ministers urged that the territory be formally annexed. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claimed control could be asserted at any moment.

Israel seized the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and has been actively building settlements there – which is widely regarded as illegal by the international community. It was close to annexation in 2020 but dropped the idea in exchange for normalizing relations with the UAE and Bahrain.

He said, “Now tell me about the Hour." He replied, “The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the one who is asking." He said, “Then tell me about its signs." He replied, “That a maid-servant should beget her mistress, and that you should see barefooted, naked, poor men and shepherds exalting themselves in buildings." [‘Umar] said: He then went away, and after I had waited for a long time [the Prophet] said to me, “Do you know who the questioner was, ‘Umar?" I replied, “God and His messenger know best." He said, “He was Gabriel who came to you to teach you your religion."
