Thank you to everyone who has helped us share Daraja and Babel. We built this for you and we are happy that you are using it. We will continue making it better day by day.

Cancer is the third leading cause of death across Africa. Early detection saves lives but radiologists are stretched thin - some countries have fewer than 1 per million people.
Today I'm releasing MedScan. It classifies brain MRI tumours in seconds. Built from scratch, for the continent that needs it most.
This is just the first model.

Introducing MedScan - our first medical imaging model. MedScan classifies brain MRI scans into glioma, meningioma, pituitary or no tumour with confidence scoring. Built from scratch by @DarajaAI, it’s the first step in building comprehensive AI-assisted diagnostics for Africa.

Ask about health. Ask about your rights. Ask about the weather back home. Ask about anything.
Babel understands. In your language.
Always.

This weekend I shipped internet access to all 15 Babel language models.
A Hausa speaker can ask 'Who won the Champions League?' and get a real answer - in Hausa. Not translated. Native.
Oil prices in Kreol Morisien.
World news in Swahili.
F1 standings in English.

Interesting. Intelligence is multifaceted and at the heart of any type of intelligence is prediction and this is what LLMs do by definition
Pedro Torrijos@Pedro_Torrijos
La gente que sabe *de verdad* de inteligencia artificial lleva diciendo esto desde bastante antes de que los LLMs fuesen populares. De hecho, la gente que sabe *de verdad* de inteligencia artificial afirma que aún faltan entre 50 y 100 años para que cualquier sistema artificial llegue al nivel de inteligencia de un perro. Otra cosa es que simule que es inteligente o que sus capacidades sean sobresalientes, pero eso no es inteligencia.

as someone who works on making LLMs run faster and cheaper every day, i can confidently say the question of whether theyre conscious has exactly zero impact on whether theyre useful. we dont need our inference stack to be conscious, we need it to be correct, fast, and affordable. the consciousness debate is fascinating philosophy but its a distraction from the actual engineering problems that determine whether AI creates value. the gravity formula doesnt need to exert weight to help you build a bridge @Hesamation

Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years. "Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."

Dwarkesh interview is just another proof that those born in the world of GPUs, CPUs, networking, data centers.. can practically eat everyone alive who's a tourist in that world. It's just too nuanced, too rich in history, heartbreak, failures, espionage, and much more. I joined AMD right after college and the first week, I saw my manager bent over an electron microscope trying to reverse engineer the gates from the latest Intel chip - Intel had an IP sharing deal with AMD and they played nice till AMD was behind, but stopped sharing when AMD64 pulled ahead. Apparently the only way we could then understand the IP was looking at NAND and XOR and other etched gates under the electron microscope. Manually. That's how crazy this world is. A defining moment in my career...
