Area: Tech (Forming)

Last updated 18 August 2026

Mission

Ansari 4, JaleesBench and evaluation, and post-training open-weight models for AI sovereignty.

Status

Forming. The area is looking for its two co-leads. Until both seats are confirmed it stays listed as forming; nothing else waits on it, and joining now is how the area gets its people.

Workstreams

The projects that were proposed at launch continue inside this area, each with the same charter and the same deliverable it had before:

• Ansari 4 — the next generation of Ansari on the MultiSage expert-panel architecture.
• Islamic Benchmarking — JaleesBench and beyond: the evaluation gate the other workstreams depend on.
• Post-training Frontier Open-Weight Models for AI Sovereignty — post-train frontier open-weight models to hold Islamic values, and release the recipes and weights openly.

Each workstream has its own named owner within the area. The three form the tightest loop in IASER’s work: one trains, one measures, and Ansari 4 is the reference application.

Open seats

Two co-leads, in complementary seats. Neither is confirmed yet.

• Domain lead — owns the substance: what the area is for, and whether what it produces is any good.
• Program lead — runs the machine: meeting cadence, progress notes, recruiting, unblocking.

Seats are filled from the people who put themselves forward. If you can lead, nominate yourself.
