Jamba 1.6

AI21 LabsOpen WeightsPending Human Review

Jamba 1.6 is an AI21 language-model release. The 1.6 update improves enterprise question answering, retrieval grounding, multilingual instruction following, and long-context quality. It is available through AI21 Studio and downloadable private deployments. The provider changelog explicitly records March 6 even though the containing update is dated March 22. Long context does not guarantee complete retrieval or factual correctness, and deployed throughput depends on hardware, precision, and prompt length.
