Ukrainian Is the Fastest-Growing Language in AI Models
English continues to dominate large language models by a wide margin. However, Ukrainian has seen the fastest growth in representation, according to analysts at AI World, a platform that tracks global artificial intelligence development.
- Over the past year, Ukrainian recorded the highest percentage growth among all languages analyzed. The number of AI models supporting the Ukrainian language increased from 762 to 1,700, a 122% year-on-year jump — the largest growth rate in the dataset.
- Ukrainian is followed by Swedish, Arabic, Turkish, and Chinese in terms of year-on-year growth.
- English remains the most widely used language overall, followed by Chinese, French, Spanish, and German.
- While these languages still account for the largest share of AI models, their growth rates are significantly lower than those of several emerging languages.
The data suggests that momentum in AI development is shifting toward languages that were previously underrepresented, pointing to a more diverse and multilingual open-source AI ecosystem.
