01
Baseline models
Evaluate candidate multilingual models on Somali and English tasks before committing to training.
Lubito Models
Language models built around African-language needs.
Our model strategy begins with rigorous evaluation and adaptation of suitable open-weight models, with longer-term research into original foundation-model development.
Model roadmap
Start with evidence. Build toward original models.

Future foundation models
Explore original pretraining only when data, compute, talent, and funding support a defensible research program.
Lubito-1 is a proposed research initiative. No proprietary pretrained model, public API, or released model weights are represented as currently available.
