The Intelligence Layer
Nigeria is crowdsourcing the data for its own large language model.
A national model is only as good as the data a nation is willing to build for it.
Nigeria is building an AI that speaks its languages.
In April 2024 Awarri, working with Nigeria's NITDA, launched LangEasy - a phone app that crowdsources voice and text so the country's first national LLM is trained on five Nigerian languages plus accented English.
The insight: if the data does not exist, build it with the people who need the model.
Awarri is the intelligence layer, built from the ground up.
