The Awarri Developer Challenge is a structured program where developers solve real-world problems using N-ATLaS and Awarri's AI infrastructure.


Participants build with Awarri’s frontier models, including the Awa family of models and N-ATLaS, Nigeria’s first open-source, multilingual and multimodal large language model powered by Awarri.


Builders are evaluated on technical execution, problem-solving depth, and real-world relevance, not ideas alone. The challenge is designed to surface serious talent and demonstrate that African-built AI can power globally relevant solutions.

Civic Access

Civic Access

Civic Access

Team Sabi Law built a civic access Al that simplifies Nigerian laws into clear, local languages, helping citizens understand their rights and navigate justice with confidence. Powered by N-ATLaS as a cultural interpreter, it delivers legally accurate, respectful, and authoritative explanations grounded strictly in real Nigerian laws, not assumptions or inventions.

Farm Eyes

Farm Eyes is an Al-powered crop health platform by Afolabi Ajao that helps smallholder farmers detect diseases early and protect yields through voice-first, multilingual guidance. By combining computer vision with N-ATLaS as the intelligence layer, it translates complex diagnoses into clear, culturally relevant advice in local languages, turning raw detection into practical action farmers can trust and use.

N-ATLaS is Nigeria’s first open-source, multilingual and multimodal large language model, powered by Awarri to support language-aware, culturally grounded, and scalable AI solutions.


Developers in the Awarri Developer Challenge leveraged N-ATLaS alongside other Awarri frontier models to ship working products. You can start building with it today.
