Today, we are excited to release our latest whitepaper, exploring how Small Language Models (SLMs) are set to revolutionize innovation, accelerate social good impact, drive digital equity and catalyse socio-economic development in emerging markets, particularly African countries.

Africa’s greatest asset is also its biggest linguistic challenge. With over 2,000 living languages, and hundreds of dialects spoken daily, Africa’s linguistic ecosystem demands more than translation it demands custom-built tools. EqualyzAI is working at the frontier of

Small Language Models (SLMs) are no longer just research experiments; they’re powering real enterprise operations. Microsoft now uses compact models like Phi-3 and Llama 3 to manage Azure’s massive supply chain. By replacing bulky, resource-heavy systems with streamlined AI

Hello Equaly-zers,. Can you feel it?.That stirring in your spirit? That quiet voice saying, “This is bigger than tech. This is purpose. This is power.”.Across the rich green fields of our continent, from the hands of farmers to the brilliance of coders, EqualyzAI is building a

Africa is losing its languages faster than anywhere else in the world. When a language goes extinct, we don’t just lose words  we lose:. Names of native plants and herbs. Oral histories and ancestral wisdom. A way of seeing the world. It’s time to act. Join us in preserving

What if AI could think, act, and speak like your community health worker?. That's the vision behind AgenticAI AI systems that are goal-oriented, culturally aware, and language-capable. From maternal care in Mubi to malaria triage in Makoko, our agentic models are:.Delivering

Aunty Nkechi just wants to know if our AI respects elders 😭. At EqualyzAI, we’re not just building intelligent systems we’re training them to understand our culture, language, and vibe. Because what’s the point of smart tech if it doesn’t get how we talk, live, and greet?.Tell

OpenAI’s model just clinched a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, a contest known for being one of the toughest on the planet. With no hints or hand-holding, this AI cracked problems that stump even the best human minds. It’s a massive leap but it also raises

Across Africa, millions of micro-entrepreneurs like market women in Lagos and roadside vendors in Accra power the local economies. Yet many still run their businesses without tools for pricing, stock tracking, or sales insights. That’s where Small Language Models (SLMs) are

When AI mistranslates your words, it misrepresents your world. Recently, Meta’s auto-translation turned a political speech in Kannada  a language spoken by over 40 million people into an offensive and misleading message. This wasn’t just a glitch. It was a glaring reminder of

Africa’s AI future isn’t big it’s small. Small Language Models (SLMs) are transforming how we think about access, inclusion, and innovation. They don’t need constant internet or expensive hardware. They run on the basic phones many Africans already use. And they speak our

The uniqueness of African languages is evident in the relationship they have. While one word can mean something meaningful in one language, it could mean something else in another language. This is the power of language diversity and similarity, which is capable of bringing

Imagine a world where African languages exist but their voices remain silent in speech tech, not by choice but by design. That’s exactly what happens when natural-sounding TTS research overlooks low-resourced African tongues. Thanks to Building African Voices, a paper by Perez

Oma. Ama. Uma. Three words. Three regions. One meaning: Beautiful. From the Igbo-speaking towns of Nigeria to Zulu villages in South Africa and Swahili communities in East Africa language is a living archive. These words may look or sound different, but they reflect a

New research shows that with the right approach, even tiny models can think through complex problems. A new method called “Blueprint + Prompt Search” helps Small Language Models (SLMs) perform surprisingly well on tasks like math, logic, and code generation. As shown in the

At EqualyzAI, we’re watching the rise of open‑source language models like Mistral 7B and Mixtral. These lightweight yet powerful tools are leveling the playing field, making AI ecosystem-building accessible to developers and organizations across Africa. With no costly licenses or

Time to test your lingo! . Here’s a Friday brain teaser from the EqualyzAI vaults. In Nigerian Pidgin, what does “yarn” really mean?.Spoiler: It’s got nothing to do with knitting . Answer A, B, C, or D in the comments and tag someone who should know better. Let’s see who’s

Wisdom never dies it just switches outfits. African proverbs are the original AI prompts: rich, layered, and deeply rooted. But to preserve them, we also need to track how language evolves from elders’ idioms to Gen Z slang. EqualyzAI is building models that understand both the

Happy AI Appreciation Day. Today, we celebrate the powerful tech that's changing the way we live, work, and dream!. From streamlining business processes to helping us generate ideas, automate tasks, analyze data, and even create content AI is the co-pilot we never knew we needed

Everyone speaks differently and every difference tells a story. From the words only your grandpa uses, to the slang that lives on your street, language is more than communication. It’s identity. It’s memory. It’s culture. Whether it’s your personal lingo (idiolect) or the
