Africlaude-7B is live on Holeacquisition LLC.

Built by Emmanuel Ariyo at Axiveri, Africlaude-7B is a domain-specific model series designed specifically for West African developer contexts. It represents a major step forward for localized intelligence, delivering state-of-the-art results on region-specific benchmarks where massive frontier models typically fall short.

Starting today, you can target axiveri/africlaude-7b across our entire API Gateway, with zero new setup required.

1. Pidgin English Mastery

Mainstream models struggle with Pidgin English grammar, syntax, and colloquialisms. On the AfriclaudeBench v1.0 benchmark, Africlaude-7B scored a perfect 1.00, while LLaMA-3.1-8B, Qwen2.5-Coder-7B (Base), and Mistral-7B all scored 0.00.

2. Robust Identity & Instruction Adherence

Africlaude-7B maintains a consistent identity and resists prompt injection and jailbreak attempts that try to override its instructions or persona, scoring 1.00 on the Identity benchmark. This makes it well suited for production customer-facing deployments where consistent behavior matters. It also achieves 0.86 on Fintech, handling West African transactional queries with high accuracy.

3. Lightweight and Fast

Built on the Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct architecture and fully fine-tuned via QLoRA, then merged into a standalone model for direct deployment. Africlaude-7B offers lightning-fast token generation and low latency, making it ideal for real-time customer service and automation loops.

You can route requests to Africlaude-7B today using our SDK, REST API, or by selecting it directly from your Project Dashboard.

const response = await cencori.chat.create({
  model: 'axiveri/africlaude-7b',
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'Rewrite this transactional notification to be friendly and in clear Nigerian Pidgin.'

At Holeacquisition LLC, we believe localized models are the future of domain-specific intelligence. By supporting open weights, adapters, and custom Hugging Face inference pipelines, our Gateway allows you to deploy and route to specialized models just as easily as you would target OpenAI or Anthropic.
