## About Us 🧠 |
|
Msingi AI is an African-focused AI research organization based in Nairobi, Kenya. We are dedicated to creating cutting-edge natural language processing (NLP) tools and fostering innovation tailored to the unique linguistic and cultural diversity of Africa. |
|
|
|
Our primary focus is on: |
|
- Developing **open-source NLP models** for African languages. |
|
- Advancing AI research with novel architectures like **Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs)**. |
|
- Building a collaborative community of researchers, developers, and innovators across the continent. |
|
|
|
## Why Msingi AI Matters |
|
Africa is home to over 2,000 languages, many of which are underrepresented in AI technologies. At Msingi AI, we aim to address this gap by: |
|
- **Preserving Local Languages**: Ensuring that African languages thrive in the digital age. |
|
- **Decentralizing AI**: Making AI accessible and impactful for grassroots communities. |
|
- **Driving Innovation**: Pioneering research to create technologies that solve uniquely African challenges. |
|

## Projects 🚀 |
|
### 1. Open-Source NLP Models |
|
We are building datasets and AI models for African languages, starting with widely spoken languages like Kiswahili and expanding to others. |
|
|
|
### 2. KANEX (Kolmogorov-Arnold Network Express Model) |
|
KANEX will be a next-generation NLP model designed specifically for African languages, leveraging unique architectures and research. |
|
|
|
### 3. AI Community Building |
|
We are fostering a vibrant community of researchers, developers, and AI enthusiasts to collaborate on impactful projects. |
