ViGPT, tailored for the local community, is described as a "Vietnamese version of ChatGPT for end-users."

It features an extensive knowledge base capable of content creation, information retrieval, and answering general queries, with a focus on Vietnam's unique legal, historical, and cultural landscapes.

"ViGPT encompasses over 600GB of refined Vietnamese data, covering a wide array of fields," the company said, highlighting its comprehensive approach to local data incorporation.

VinBigdata is already deploying this technology in products like a legal virtual assistant for state agencies and the forthcoming AI-integrated ViVi assistant in VinFast electric vehicles.

The company plans to integrate ViGPT into various sectors, including transportation, banking, finance, and insurance, enhancing the speed and simplicity of information processing for users.

VinBigdata's Science director, Prof Vu Ha Van said,"Launching ViGPT is a testament to Vietnam's capacity to not only master but also safeguard technological advancements, especially in data security and national intellectual property. It's a step towards reducing dependency on international products and improving the accuracy and authenticity of information reflective of Vietnamese heritage."
