AI is happening. The future is updating.Fanar-1-9B-Instruct
**Fanar-1-9B-Instruct** is a powerful Arabic-English LLM developed by Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development. It is the instruction-tuned version of Fanar-1-9B. We continually pretrain the `google/gemma-2-9b` model on 1T Arabic and English tokens. We pay particular attention to the richness of the Arabic language by supporting Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and a diverse set of Arabic dialects, including Gulf, Levantine, and Egyptian. Fanar models, through meticulous curation of the pretraining and instruction-tuning data, are aligned with Islamic values and Arab cultures. **Fanar-1-9B-Instruct** is a core component of the Fanar GenAI platform that offers a suite of capabilities including image generation, video and image understanding, deep thinking, advanced text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic-speech-recognition (ASR), attribution and fact-checking, Islamic RAG, among several other features. We have published a comprehensive report with all the details regarding our Fanar GenAI platform. We also provide an API to our models and the GenAI platform (request access here).
