DA — Guinea's AI

DA is a fine-tuned 0.6B language model that speaks Soussou (Susu), a West African language spoken by ~3 million people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissau.

What is DA?

DA is the first AI model that natively speaks Soussou. Not through translation APIs — the language lives in the weights.
