Africlaude-7B is on Cencori

Africlaude-7B is live on Cencori.

Built by Emmanuel Ariyo at Axiveri, Africlaude-7B is a domain-specific model series designed specifically for West African developer contexts. It represents a major step forward for localized intelligence, delivering state-of-the-art results on region-specific benchmarks where massive frontier models typically fall short.

Starting today, you can target axiveri/africlaude-7b across our entire API Gateway, with zero new setup required.

What Makes Africlaude-7B Different

1. Pidgin English Mastery

Mainstream models struggle with Pidgin English grammar, syntax, and colloquialisms. On the AfriclaudeBench v1.0 benchmark, Africlaude-7B scored a perfect 1.00, while LLaMA-3.1-8B, Qwen2.5-Coder-7B (Base), and Mistral-7B all scored 0.00.

2. Tailored for Fintech & Identity

For builders in West Africa, processing localized context is a necessity. Africlaude-7B has been specifically fine-tuned on West African identity documents, address parsing structures, and fintech transactional queries. It achieves a 1.00 on Identity and 0.86 on Fintech benchmarks.

3. Lightweight and Fast

Built as a 4-bit QLoRA adapter on the high-performance Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct base model, Africlaude-7B offers lightning-fast token generation and low latency, making it ideal for real-time customer service and automation loops.

Bridging Open-Weight Innovation
