Frequently asked questions

Are these the only Arabic models that exist?

No. This is a starting shortlist of Arabic-first or Arabic-strong options we verified with live official pages. Multilingual APIs also support Arabic; we may add more later.

Can we use open weights commercially?

It depends on each model’s licence (for example Apache 2.0 vs non-commercial terms). Check the Hugging Face card and vendor policy.

Will Fritill host or fine-tune these for us?

We can help with evaluation, architecture and implementation through a paid engagement. Use the conversation CTA or Strategy Session — we do not quote prices on this page.
