That's interesting. It would be interesting to compare how this will fare against Fanar (Arabic oriented models) [1]. I got access to their API last week but still didn't play with it. I think they did pretty good job with arabic dialects [2]. I don't know if they have any plans to release weights though. There are two models one trained from scratch and the other ia fine turned of Google's Gemma.

Saba vs fanar. I like the names too.
