Localized LLM “CaiGunn” Boosts Enterprise Service Efficiency by 30%; APMIC Joins Forces with Ecosystem Partners for Global Expansion
According to P&S Intelligence, the global market for natural language understanding was valued at $18.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $80.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27.2%. The North American market is expected to be a significant driver of this demand. Recognizing the growing need for AI technologies, particularly natural language understanding, APMIC foresees a trend of enterprises deploying LLMs on-premises. To meet this demand, APMIC has partnered with Dell, HPE, and NVIDIA to integrate its AI server with the “CaiGunn” model, creating a robust ecosystem for AI deployment.
As a member of NVIDIA’s Inception program, APMIC showcased “CaiGunn” at NVIDIA GTC 2024, making it one of only two Taiwanese startups selected to participate in the Startup Pitches. As a leader in natural language understanding, APMIC, backed by NVIDIA and its extensive global network, is expanding into the U.S. market to help enterprises worldwide build their own large language models.
“CaiGunn” named after the Taiwanese Hokkien word for “chat,” is a localized large language model and platform framework developed by APMIC’s team in Taiwan. It enables employees to create intelligent, contextually relevant AI solutions simply by uploading existing documents, websites, or data—without the need for programming. “CaiGunn” has been adopted by over 800 organizations across various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and retail. Notable clients include Google, Taipei City Government, and CTBC Bank, with implementations demonstrating a 30% improvement in service efficiency.
In 2023, “CaiGunn” made history as the only Taiwanese model ranked among the top 100 on Hugging Face. This year, APMIC introduced “CaiGunn-TAME”, a cutting-edge traditional Chinese LLM tailored for Taiwanese users. Powered by NVIDIA’s NIMs and enhanced by CaiGunn’s C-RAG, this model offers rapid scaling and a deeper understanding of Taiwanese language and culture.
APMIC secured $1 million in Pre-A funding in March this year and plans to launch a new fundraising round in September. These funds will be used to further expand its overseas market, strengthen the development of its LLMs, attract top talent, and scale its operations.
