Tbilisi AI Lab

Open, Georgian-first Generative AI.
We are a non-profit on a mission to build capable, affordable, and open Georgian language models.

Georgian is a low-resource language with ~4M speakers. We believe Georgian speakers deserve their own ChatGPT-like, productivity-boosting AI — built with and for our community.

🔔 What’s new (Oct 2025)

We have open-sourced all our models and datasets — from pretraining corpora to every stage of fine-tuning (instruction/SFT, function-calling, and preference/DPO). Explore everything on our Hugging Face org:

Why we exist

• Language equity: Great AI shouldn’t be limited to high-resource languages.
• Local impact: Better Georgian NLP improves education, services, accessibility, and economic opportunity.
• Open science: We share models, data, and recipes so others can reproduce and build on our work.

Quickstart (12B Instruct)

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, pipeline

model_id = "tbilisi-ai-lab/kona2-12B-Instruct"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")

chat = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tok)
prompt = "გთხოვ, შეაჯამე ეს ტექსტი მოკლედ (ქართული): ქართული ენა უნიკალურია..."
out = chat(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7)
print(out[0]["generated_text"])
