I get messages from people saying they’re jealous of online personalities who seem to have it all.
Please stop. We don’t. No one does.
Don’t let curated posts trick you into resenting your real, beautiful life. Even if their life is perfect, God has blessed you in so many ways.
🚀 Exciting News! We're thrilled to introduce Nigeria's first pretrained "foundational" language model, SabiYarn-125M, with 125 million parameters! 🎉
Try it out here:

🔗 [Hugging Face Download](https://t.co/8SeGEuGCjZ)
Pretrained on approximately 29GB of cleaned data with a multi-task learning objective using causal language modeling, SabiYarn-125M performs in:
- 🌐 Text Generation
- 🌍 Translation (including inter-language translation)
- 😊 Sentiment Classification
- 📚 Topic Classification
- 📰 Text Summarization
- 🖊 Headline Generation
- Question Generation (majorly in english)
- 🔤 Text Diacritization
It performs (especially in the Nigerian languages) on although slightly worse:
- 📜 Simple Instruction Prompting
- Basic Question answering
- 🧹 Text Cleaning
Model did not perform on:
- Coding and Basic Reasoning tasks
Supporting multiple Nigerian languages: English, Yoruba, Hausa, Pidgin, Igbo, Efik, Urhobo, Fulah, and Fulfulde.
With a maximum token length of 1024! Model has not been finetuned in anyway.
Model Evaluation (mostly human): Ongoing to enhance capabilities further.

With this work, we aim to collaborate with key stakeholders and others to build more intelligent, robust, and culturally aware AI models and systems for the African AI community and Nigeria as a whole. Together, we can enhance communication across all Nigerian dialects.

Hey guys, so due to popular demand, I present to you (drumroll… 🥁🥁) the bible verse bits (DARK EDITION). For everyone who mentioned it, please know that I saw it and took note even though I did not respond 🫶✨
These are the first 40. I’ll update over time 🙏
