Gloo, a Boulder-based platform serving the faith and flourishing ecosystem, has acquired XRI Global, an AI firm known for developing custom multilingual and low-resource language models, to expand the range of languages supported by its existing tools.
According to a Tuesday announcement, the acquisition will integrate XRI’s engineering capabilities into Gloo AI and Gloo360, strengthening the company’s ability to serve faith-based, health and humanitarian organizations. XRI has developed AI models for more than 30 languages over the past 18 months, focusing on communities often underserved by mainstream technology systems.
“As AI transforms the way the world communicates, billions of people risk being left behind simply because their languages are not represented in today’s frontier models. By combining XRI Global’s world-class engineering with Gloo’s values-aligned approach to AI, we are taking a bold step toward closing that gap within the faith and flourishing ecosystem,” Steele Billings, president of Gloo AI, said in a statement.
