part of Nepal's northern border and include Mount Everest, the world's
highest peak...

Why This Matters
30 million Nepali speakers. 125+ languages in Nepal. Zero dedicated AI models — until now.
Every global LLM treats Nepali as noise. They confuse it with Hindi. They know nothing about Dashain, dal bhat, or the Malla dynasty. SANU AI is different — trained on real Nepali text from real Nepali sources.
And it cost $0 to build.
