AI models tested for Arabic
Does it actually work for Saudi, Najdi, Hijazi or Gulf Arabic? Benchmarks rarely say. The community tests these models on real speech and text — and reports back.
Lahjawi
Misraj AI
Cross-dialect Arabic translation system from Misraj in Khobar, fine-tuned from Kuwain-1.5B in two variants: Lahjawi-D2D translates between 15 Arabic dialects and Lahjawi-D2MSA converts any dialect into MSA. The paper names Egyptian, Emirati, Jordanian, Palestinian, Levantine and Maghrebi among the dialects it evaluates but does not enumerate all 15. No weights are published.
Mutarjim
Misraj AI
Compact bidirectional Arabic–English translation model fine-tuned from Kuwain-1.5B; reported state of the art on the Tarjama-25 benchmark, which Misraj also published. Weights are not on Hugging Face — Misraj released the Tarjama-25 dataset and the evaluation code but keeps the model itself behind its Kawn platform.
