🌾 Sohr.ai — Santali AI Platform

Sohr.ai (pronounced Sohr-ai, inspired by the Santali harvest festival Sohrai) is an initiative to build a complete AI platform for the Santali language (sat, Ol Chiki).

We focus on models, datasets, and tools that make it easy to build Santali-first applications.

---

🎯 What We Do

• Develop language models for Santali text generation, chat, and understanding.
• Build embedding models for search, retrieval, and recommendations.
• Provide spellcheck, normalization, and translation tools for real-world Santali content.
• (Planned) Release speech models for ASR and TTS.
• Host open datasets and training scripts for transparent, reproducible research.
• Offer a simple API layer and examples so developers can integrate Santali AI quickly.

🌍 Why Santali?

Santali is a major Adivasi language with millions of speakers, but it remains severely underrepresented in modern AI systems.
Our goal is to help make Santali a first-class language in AI by:

• Publishing open models and data.
• Documenting limitations, ethics, and use cases through model and dataset cards.
• Enabling researchers, builders, and communities to collaborate around a shared stack.

📚 What You’ll Find Here

Within the Sohr.ai organization on the Hub:

• Models

  • Base and instruction-tuned Santali language models
  • Embedding models for semantic search
  • Task-specific models (spellcheck, classification, translation)

• Datasets

  • Curated Santali text corpora (Ol Chiki and Roman)
  • Parallel English ↔ Santali resources
  • Domain-specific subsets (education, govt, jobs, culture)

• Spaces

  • Demos for proofreading, translation, and chat
  • Tools showcasing how to use our models via API / SDKs

Each model and dataset includes a detailed model card describing training data, intended use, limitations, and ethical considerations.

🤝 Collaborate With Us

We welcome:

• Contributions of new or cleaned Santali data (with clear licensing).
• Improvements to tokenization, training, and evaluation.
• Demo apps and Spaces built on top of Sohr.ai models.
• Research collaborations around low-resource and Adivasi languages.

If you are interested in contributing, please open an Issue or Discussion on the relevant repository, or contact the maintainer listed in the model/dataset cards.
