# Souq — Arabic AI Market Place

> Independently researched Arabic AI models, tools, datasets, APIs and events, with official sources and evidence-backed comparisons.

Souq researches creators and official sources directly; it does not import other platforms' catalogues. English is the default; public pages also support ?lang=ar. Listing a resource does not mean Souq hosts it, sells it, or guarantees commercial rights or data residency. Unknown evidence remains unknown. Playground pilots require registration and usage limits; paid model access is not currently offered. Paid comparison downloads are not model licences.
