The NCAI/SDAIA team builds ALLaM in two stages. First, they continue training Llama-2 checkpoints after expanding the tokenizer vocabulary with Arabic tokens. Then they apply what… 2. **[When Benchmarks are Targets: Revealing the Sensitivity of Large Language Model Leaderboards](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alzahrani-2024-benchmarks-targets-revealing-sensitivity-large/)** *(2024 · 74 citations)* The authors, from NCAI (SDAIA, Riyadh), test whether LLM leaderboards built on multiple-choice question (MCQ) benchmarks can be trusted. 3. **[Command R7B Arabic: a small, enterprise-focused, multilingual, and culturally aware Arabic LLM](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alnumay-2025-command-r7b-arabic-small-enterprise/)** *(2025 · 18 citations)* Enterprise-grade Arabic LLMs are hard to build because little digitized Arabic text exists, and English data often fails to carry over because of differences in morphology, syntax and culture. 4. **[AraEval: An Arabic Multi-Task Evaluation Suite for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/althnian-2025-araeval-arabic-multi-task-evaluation/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* Most Arabic LLM evaluation is either translated from English benchmarks or narrowly focused on knowledge questions. ## Co-authors here 12 of 19 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Faisal Abdulrahman Mirza](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/faisal-abdulrahman-mirza/) ×3 - [M Saiful Bari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/m-saiful-bari/) ×3 - [Shaykhah Z.
