Dara Initiative Technology (DIT) builds open models, offline-first AI and EdTech for communities where connectivity and power are uncertain. We exist because most AI is built for always-online, always-powered environments — and much of the world is not that place.
Our work spans the Open Model Leaderboard and OMSF framework for choosing open models honestly, SomaBox for offline tutoring in schools, the S-SME programme for sustainable SMEs, and the AI Training Hub for hands-on skills. Everything we publish is documented on the blog.
If our mission matches what you are trying to do — a school, a ministry, a business or a funder — get in touch.
