About
Qatar's sovereign Arabic LLM. This 8.7B instruct model, the 'Prime' branch, continually pretrains google/gemma-2-9b on 1T Arabic and English tokens; a separate 7B 'Star' model was trained from scratch. The card claims MSA plus Gulf, Levantine and Egyptian dialects, and alignment with Islamic values and Arab culture.
