Research Saturday Week 7: AfroBench

​This Saturday, join us for a session on AfroBench, the first comprehensive benchmark evaluating large language models across African languages. We will explore how LLMs perform on 64 African languages, 15 NLP tasks, and 22 datasets, highlight the major performance gaps compared to high-resource languages, and discuss what these findings mean for building more inclusive and effective AI for Africa.
