That’s why we built Flash-KMeans — an IO-aware implementation of exact k-means that rethinks the algorithm around modern GPU bottlenecks.

By attacking the memory bottlenecks directly, Flash-KMeans achieves 30x speedup over cuML and 200x speedup over FAISS — with the same exact algorithm, just engineered for today’s hardware. At the million-scale, Flash-KMeans can complete a k-means iteration in milliseconds.

A classic algorithm — redesigned for modern GPUs.

I’m delighted to share this Medium post, reflecting on a multi-year journey towards building AI and NLP solutions that truly center African languages and communities.

Despite Africa’s extraordinary linguistic diversity—with over 2,000 languages—the continent’s languages have historically remained overlooked by NLP research and industry. My team and our incredible collaborators across Africa and globally set out to change this. In this post, I reflect on five pivotal projects—Towards Afrocentric NLP, AfroLID, SERENGETI, Cheetah, and Toucan—detailing our motivations, the lessons we learned, and the transformative potential these initiatives have for linguistic inclusion, digital equity, and technological empowerment across Africa.

Our goal is clear: ensuring every African language thrives digitally, empowering communities with AI technologies that resonate culturally, socially, and linguistically.

I’d love your thoughts—please read, share, and join us on this journey!
