Technology Innovation Institute (TII)

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) released Falcon-Emirati-7B, a 7B-parameter model specialized for Emirati Arabic and built on Falcon-H1-Arabic. TII claims it scores 84.83% on the Alyah benchmark, ahead of every Arabic and multilingual model it compared against.

TII UAE released QIMMA, an Arabic LLM leaderboard that validates benchmark quality before evaluating models. The validation pipeline, using Qwen3-235B and DeepSeek-V3 plus human review, discarded 3.1% of ArabicMMLU samples and found systematic quality issues across 14 benchmarks.
