Shape the future of language technology
We work with native speakers, linguists and researchers to create the data, benchmarks and models that low-resource languages need. Partners make this work possible.
The gap we are closing
The vast majority of AI systems are built for just a handful of high-resource languages. Millions of people speak languages that have little to no presence in AI datasets, models, or research. This isn't a limitation—it's a choice that we can change.
CLRLC closes this gap through community-led data collection, culturally grounded benchmarks, and inclusive models that work for African and other low-resource languages. We partner with native speakers, linguists, and researchers who understand their languages and cultures best.
