The company, founded by a former Google engineer, is building an A.I. system known as a large language model that is based on African languages. But Qhala has no nearby computing power and rents from data centers outside Africa. Employees cram their work into the morning, when most American programmers are sleeping, so there is less traffic and faster speeds to transfer data across the world.<!----><!--]--><!----><\/p>\n<p><!----><!--]--><!--]--><!----><!--]--><!--[--><!----><!--[--><!--[!--><!----><\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\"><!--[--><!---->\u201cProximity is essential,\u201d said Shikoh Gitau, 44, Qhala\u2019s founder.<!----><!--]--><!----><\/p>\n<p><!----><!--]--><!--]--><!----><!--]--><!--[--><!----><!--[--><!--[!--><!----><\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\"><!--[--><!---->\u201cIf you don\u2019t have the resources for compute to process the data and to build your A.I. models, then you can\u2019t go anywhere,\u201d said Kate Kallot, a former Nvidia executive and the founder of Amini, another A.I. start-up in Kenya.<!----><!--]--><!----><\/p>\n<p><!----><!--]--><!--]--><!----><!--]--><!--[--><!----><!----><\/p>\n<figure class=\"g-wrapper  svelte-dk6paf g-needs-margin-block\" aria-label=\"image\"><!--[!--><!--]--> <!--[!--><!--]--> <!----> <!--[--><\/p>\n<div class=\"g-block g-block-margin svelte-rhgw2n g-margin-inline\">\n<div class=\"g-block-width g-max-width-wide svelte-rhgw2n\"><!----><!----><!----> <!----><!--[--><\/p>\n<div class=\"g-wrapper_meta g-text-align-left svelte-v3m00m\"><!--[--><\/p>\n<p class=\"g-caption svelte-v3m00m\"><!--[!--><!--]--><!--[--><!---->Kate Kallot, founder of Amini, an A.I. start-up, at the company\u2019s office in Nairobi, Kenya.<!----><!--]--><\/p>\n<p><!--]--> <!--[!--><!--]--> <!--[!--><!--]--> <!--[--><\/p>\n<p class=\"g-credit svelte-v3m00m\"><!---->Natalia Jidovanu for The New York Times<!----><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<p><!--]--><!----> <!----><!----><!----><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--]--><!----><\/figure>\n<p><!----><!----><!--]--><!--[--><!----><!--[--><!--[!--><!----><\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\"><!--[--><!---->In the United States, by contrast, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta and OpenAI have pledged to spend more than $300 billion this year, much of it on A.I. infrastructure.
