Nigeria's government is collaborating with the start-up Awarri to develop a large language model (LLM) that supports five low-resource languages and accented English. This initiative aims to enhance the representation of Nigerian languages in global AI systems, which is crucial for the continent's digital transformation. The focus on LLMs is seen as a pathway to socio-economic growth across various sectors, including agriculture and energy.
The deployment of LLMs requires significant computational resources and expertise, which may be limited in Africa. Cloud computing and containerization technologies, such as Kubernetes, are essential for facilitating LLM development and deployment. Emphasizing values like transparency and collaboration in LLM development can lead to more effective AI solutions that benefit the entire region.
