Most NLP and language-based Gen AI solutions are currently based on the English language, which has far reaching economic and societal consequences such as cultural preservation, data equity and diversity impacts. Awarri is developing Nigeria's first and largest Large Language Model (LLM) based on both text and audio datasets to support the local creator and developer ecosystem.

10% of lifetime (2h45m a day) of the next generation will be spent in virtual worlds. The value and meaning of data & representation becomes very tangible.
In partnership with leading researchers, we are investigating an avatar system that allows users to work directly with artists and creators, giving them control over their identity, representation, appearance and personal data in virtual worlds - for a fairer and more equitable world.
