The Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence (ISSAI) presents Beynele, a pioneering multilingual text-to-image generation model developed to reflect Kazakhstan’s rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
What is Beynele?
Beynele is a diffusion-based generative AI model that transforms textual prompts into high-quality, visually compelling images. Supporting Kazakh, Russian, and English, it offers a seamless and inclusive experience for a broad spectrum of users. While structurally similar to globally recognized models such as Stable Diffusion, Beynele stands out through its deep integration of Kazakh-specific cultural context.
What Makes Beynele Unique?
Unlike generic models trained on vast, globally-sourced datasets, Beynele has been fine-tuned on carefully curated data that includes:
• Traditional Kazakh ornaments and patterns
• National clothing and cultural motifs
• Landscapes of the Kazakh steppe
• Scenes from everyday life in Kazakhstan
This cultural grounding ensures that the model can generate imagery that is not only accurate but also respectful and authentic, making it the first AI model in Kazakhstan designed to understand and reflect local identity through visuals.
Key Features
• Multilingual Prompting: Supports input in Kazakh, Russian, and English, enhancing accessibility across linguistic communities.
• Cultural Awareness: Captures and represents Kazakhstan-specific themes, from historical traditions to modern-day life.
• Versatile Applications: An ideal tool for educators, researchers, designers, artists, and content creators seeking culturally relevant, AI-generated visuals.
“With Beynele, we’re building technology that doesn’t just generate images — it understands identity,” said Amina Baikenova, IT Product Manager at ISSAI. “This model allows Kazakh-speaking users and creatives to visualize their ideas in a way that feels natural and authentic.”
Beynele is more than a technological achievement — it’s a step forward in creating AI that understands our language, our stories, and our visual world. As the first of its kind in the region, Beynele embodies ISSAI’s commitment to advancing ethical, locally meaningful AI innovation.
