    Arabic LLMs are often scored on translated Western benchmarks, so their grasp of Arab cultural, religious and social context is never really tested.
  2. AraModernBERT: Transtokenized Initialization and Long-Context Encoder Modeling for Arabic (2026 · 2 citations)
    Modern encoder designs such as ModernBERT have mostly been built and tested for English. Classic Arabic BERT models are still limited to 512 tokens and use absolute positions. The authors port ModernBERT to Arabic as AraModernBERT, a ~149M-parameter encoder that reads up to 8,192 tokens natively. It uses a new Arabic…

It starts from the…
