View Axiveri on HuggingFaceThe Mission
Africa has over 2,000 languages and 1.4 billion people. Most frontier AI is built on Western data, in Western languages, for Western contexts.
Axiveri builds AI that understands African languages, African accents, and African problems — from language models to speech recognition.
Every model is open-source. Research, fine-tuning, and commercial use are welcome.
Open Source First
Every model is freely available on HuggingFace under open licenses.
Africa-Centric
Trained on African language data, accents, and cultural contexts.
Research-Grade
Rigorously benchmarked. We built TruthGuard to evaluate AI — we apply the same standards to our own models.
Community-Driven
Partners, contributors, and supporters are welcome. Axiveri is built in public.
