Introducing the Open Arabic LLM Leaderboard

Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworksllm

What changed

This initiative is particularly significant given that it directly serves over 380 million Arabic speakers worldwide. In line with contributing towards this ever-growing field, we introduce AlGhafa, a new multiple-choice evaluation benchmark for Arabic LLMs. We use a collection of publicly available datasets, as well as a newly introduced HandMade dataset consisting of 8 billion tokens.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
