C-elo Labs is an AI research organization pioneering high-fidelity language models for underserved African languages. We focus on Kikuyu, Kamba, Luo, and other African languages, building both text chatbots and real-time voice AI systems.

Our team combines expertise in NLP, speech synthesis, and cross-lingual transfer learning to create AI that speaks, listens, and responds in native African languages.

Our research focuses on fine-tuning LLMs for African languages using advanced techniques like QLoRA and synthetic data generation, plus building Speech-to-Speech models with the Mimi neural codec.

We collaborate with initiatives like African Next Voices and Masakhane to create robust datasets and push the boundaries of low-resource language AI.
