About Jamba Large 1.7

Jamba Large 1.7 is a proprietary LLM from AI21 Labs. It operates exclusively in the text modality. The model supports a context window of 256000 tokens.

Because it is closed-source, access occurs through AI21's hosted services rather than local deployment. This design enables reliable scaling for enterprise workloads. Typical usage includes long-document summarization and multi-turn dialogue that spans many pages of content.
