Meta is partnering with UNESCO to launch the Language Technology Partner Program, aiming to incorporate lesser-known Indigenous languages into Meta AI. The program seeks contributors to provide speech recordings, transcriptions, pre-translated sentences, and written work in target languages. This data will be used to build Meta’s AI systems with the goal of creating systems that can understand and respond to complex human needs, regardless of language or cultural background. Applications to join the program will be open until March 7, 2025.

The government of Nunavut, a territory in northern Canada, has already signed up for the program. Meta also released an open-source machine translation benchmark to evaluate the performance of language translation models. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta planned to end 2025 with "more than 1.3 million GPUs," doubling its current GPU capacity to power edge AI assistants in the company's upcoming Llama 4 model.
