China just released an open-source voice LLM called Habibi (um..nice name haha) that can do 20+ Arabic dialects all in one As someone who did some NLP projects, this is wayyyy harder than it sounds as data is so messy, and Arabic isn’t “one language” in daily life, as dialects can be wildly different. I actually know the professor who made this model too, very clever guy with lots of NLP experience. He already made some models for various Chinese dialects, and i even know someone in Urumqi who made one for Uyghur and minority languages in Xinjiang University. Basically China bossed this area and now they’re making and selling it for other countries. Huge, because it shows people are coming to them as they do do it the best.. not the US
