Typhoon is described on the event page as an open-source initiative developed by SCB 10X’s research and development division to advance Thai-first large language models, datasets, and tools. The project has now expanded into audio with the launch of a Thai audio large language model. Oravee Smithiphol is leading adoption and ecosystem engagement for the initiative. The page highlights her more than ten years of experience in Thailand’s startup community, including time as a co-founder in online media and education and her current role as an Artificial Intelligence product and ecosystem strategist at SCB 10X.
