|
| **Unkad** — Somali for *creation from nothing*. It shares a root with *unug*, the cell: |
| large things assembled from small units, contribution by contribution. |
|
|
| We are a non-profit AI research laboratory in **Mogadishu, Somalia**, building the Somali |
| language into the age of AI: |
|
|
| - **[Qor Af-Soomaali](https://qor.unkad.com)** — our community platform where Somali |
| speakers write, translate, and validate text across sectors and dialects (Maxaa tiri |
| and Maay). Peer-validated, linguist-verified, released openly. |
| - **Safety & alignment research** — benchmarks, refusal evaluations, and red-teaming |
| methodology for Somali and other low-resource languages, shared with the broader |
| alignment community. |
|
|
| Everything we release here is **CC BY-SA 4.0**, with contributors credited exactly as |
| they consented to be. The corpus belongs to the Somali-speaking world. |
