Why we publish open Arabic data
Bayanat Labs is a Riyadh-based Arabic data company. We build data, never models, so we never compete with the teams that use our work. We publish small open releases, benchmarks, tools and guides so anyone can test Arabic AI work in the open, check our methods and cite the result.
Bayanat Labs is not affiliated with bayanat.ae (the UAE open-data portal), the former Bayanat AI (now Space42), or the ARBML bayanat library.
