Welcome to the Babel project - we aim to build open multilingual LLMs that serve as many users as possible to make #LLMs4Everyone 🌏.

The current version of Babel covers the top 25 languages by number of speakers, supports over 90% of the global population, and includes many languages neglected by other open or close multilingual LLMs.

Quick links

• Models are available in multiple variants: Babel-9B (base, chat), Babel-83B (base, chat)
• Paper: Babel: Open Multilingual Large Language Models Serving Over 90% of Global Speakers (#1 Paper of the day!)
