The Chatunga Story and What Actually Happened.
I am reliably informed that this CIO guy in the picture below works for ZACC and is behind the arrest yaChatunga. The issue has nothing to do with cars. The guy was drunk akatanga kuitira weti mu sitting garden area Bells and his friends were chilling in. Bells then asked kuti what are you doing kwakuti hapana zvamondiita achi onererwa ne girlfriend from Masvingo. Kwakurohwa mbama kwakubva abudisa pfuti pointing at Bells. Akarohwa ne security yemukomana. Apa palodge yacho he was with the girl friend zvemjolo. His name is Lloyd Mupanduki and was booked in Room 11 Brompton Lodge.

🚨 Introducing 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔
Today, we are releasing 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔, a new multilingual AI model built for African languages.
𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔 is a 1.5 billion parameter language model trained from scratch for 12 African languages, with its own tokenizer designed for Africa.
$40,000 worth of GPUs
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔: the largest African language model ever trained from scratch, at 1.5 billion parameters. Not a fine tune, this was trained from the ground up for Africa. 🌍
Trained on 12 African languages, it beats models from Google, Meta, Alibaba and HuggingFace on African language modelling and translation while being up to 8x smaller.
𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔 doesn't belong to us. The weights are open and free to use commercially, so researchers can build on a base that doesn't treat African languages as an afterthought.
Weights in the comments.
Thanks to @UNDP, @AIHub4SD and CINECA for the GPUs and the support. None of this happens without them.

Congratulations to @StandardBankZA on the official launch of its Cross-border Interbank Payment System (#CIPS), making it the 1st African bank to join CIPS as a direct participant!

I’ll never understand how a very certain group of people can cheer for anything that tries to harm South Africa, yet still choose to live here.
