Summary
EthioLLM is a family of multilingual language models (XLM-RoBERTa and mT5 based) for five Ethiopian languages: Amharic, Ge'ez, Afaan Oromoo, Somali and Tigrinya, plus English. The large variant EthioLLM-l-70K is a fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa-Large used for masked language modeling and downstream tasks like classification, NER and sentiment. It was released by the EthioNLP collective alongside the Ethiobenchmark evaluation suite.
Nigeria's first government-backed multilingual LLM (Sep 2025): a Llama-3 8B fine-tuned on 400M+ tokens across 4 Nigerian languages. Produced by NCAIR/NITDA and Awarri.
