The Arab
Intelligence Manifesto

"Our mission to build dedicated AI infrastructure for the Middle East. Sovereign data, native alignment, and engineering rigor."

01 / The Challenge

The Tokenization Tax

Global models are punished for speaking Arabic. Standard tokenizers (like cl100k_base) fragment Arabic words into 2-3x more tokens than English equivalents. This is not just an efficiency loss; it is a direct tax on inference costs and context window capacity. We are paying more to compute less.

Cultural Flattening

Current RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) pipelines are staffed by contractors who may speak the language but do not share the lived experience. The result is a model that speaks "Translated English"—grammatically correct, but culturally hollow. It fails to capture the wit of Egyptian street slang, the formality of Gulf business protocols, or the poetic nuance of Levantine literature.

02 / The Solution

Dataflare is an engineering lab focused on the complex problems of Arabic AI. We are building the full stack, from the silicon up to the prompt.

Sovereign Data PipelineWe do not scrape. We license and curate high-fidelity corpora from local publishing houses, legal firms, and media archives. This ensures our models are trained on the "Best of the-Arab-World," not the noise of the internet.
Native AlignmentOur alignment data is generated by domain experts—lawyers, doctors, and linguists—who are native to the dialect they are teaching. We align for values, not just grammar.

03 / The Engineers

Built by Builders

Dataflare is not a consultancy. It is a skunkworks lab staffed by career engineers. Our team comprises veterans from the world's leading distributed systems, cybersecurity, and NLP firms. We have spent decades optimizing kernels, securing networks, and architecting data pipelines at the exabyte scale. We are now applying that engineering rigor to the single most important problem of our generation: Arab Intelligence.
