- ALLaM: Large Language Models for Arabic and English (2024 · 113 citations)
The paper addresses the lack of strong Arabic LLMs. Frontier models are mostly English-centric, and Arabic pretraining data is scarce. The NCAI/SDAIA team builds ALLaM in two stages. First, they continue training Llama-2 checkpoints after expanding the tokenizer vocabulary with Arabic tokens. Then they apply what… - Command R7B Arabic: a small, enterprise-focused, multilingual, and culturally aware Arabic LLM (2025 · 18 citations)
Enterprise-grade Arabic LLMs are hard to build because little digitized Arabic text exists, and English data often fails to carry over because of differences in morphology, syntax and culture. - AraEval: An Arabic Multi-Task Evaluation Suite for Large Language Models (2025 · 1 citation)
Most Arabic LLM evaluation is either translated from English benchmarks or narrowly focused on knowledge questions.
