Summary
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.
SabiYarn-125M is a 125M-parameter decoder-only foundation model pretrained on Nigerian-language text, the first in the SabiYarn series. It supports English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and Nigerian Pidgin plus Fulfulde, Efik and Urhobo, with fine-tuned variants for translation, NER, sentiment and diacritization. It was built by Aletheia.ai Research Lab and presented at the AfricaNLP 2025 workshop.
