On Amazon Bedrock, CelcomDigi will develop and implement Bahasa Melayu language algorithms with Amazon’s Bedrock Large Language Models (LLM) named Amazon Titan and Anthropic Claude, that has deep learning algorithms that can process natural languages, into solutions such as a chatbots to communicate with its linguistically and culturally diverse customer base. CelcomDigi and AWS will also explore deploying personalised generative AI use cases for Malaysian businesses across industries and consumers.

value to our customers and Malaysian enterprises across industries. We look forward to working closely with AWS as part of our aspiration to build the nation’s digital ecosystem,” said Datuk Idham Nawawi, CEO at CelcomDigi.
“CelcomDigi’s collaboration with AWS is a great example of how telcos can enhance end-to-end operational efficiency and redefine the user experience for both employees and customers with the power of generative AI technology,” said Pete Murray, Country Manager, Malaysia at AWS. “With AWS, CelcomDigi can drive new use cases at scale with AI-optimized infrastructure and the flexibility to choose fit-for-purpose foundational models through Amazon Bedrock.
