iApp Technology, a Thai AI company, launched OpenThai 2.0 Legal—an open-weight large language model designed specifically for Thai law. Built on NVIDIA Nemotron and available for free download, the model can recall and cite Thai laws and court decisions without explicit legal text in prompts. It outperforms larger competitors like Qwen 35B in Thai civil and commercial law benchmarks and can run on a single GPU with 24GB+ VRAM, enabling organizations to self-host sensitive case data. This release reflects Thailand's broader AI industry boom, with Q1 2026 investment applications up 2.4x to 1.02 trillion baht.
