Research & development
Lubito Labs.
Researching multilingual language intelligence, model adaptation, evaluation, and responsible AI deployment for African contexts.
Flagship initiative
Lubito-1: Somali-English model research.
Our proposed first research milestone is to compare open-weight multilingual models, curate legally usable Somali-English data, run controlled adaptation experiments, and publish measured findings.
Success will be judged against held-out evaluation tasks covering fluency, instruction following, factual reliability, and safety—not by training completion alone.
