- For
- Arabic-speaking operators of local language models
- Worth noticing
- The benchmark interface says it marks missing measurements as “not measured” instead of inventing a result.
Field notes
The glossary is described as searchable and able to understand dialect, while the tokenizer tool compares Arabic text across six tokenizers. The benchmark section says results come from real devices and include a receipt; the homepage also labels the project v0.1. Its figures are said to live in reusable JSON files under an MIT license.
