Introducing the Open Leaderboard for Hebrew LLMs!

honestly? another leaderboard. it's fine, but it just formalizes the mess. the real value isn't the list; it's seeing what smaller, regional models are actually performing when you ditch the massive English-centric benchmarks. it means we can finally stop pretending a one-size-fits-all model works for complex languages like Hebrew. it's a necessary step toward practical, localized deployment, not just academic bragging rights.

we're still wrestling with tokenization and fine-tuning costs, but at least someone's forcing the community to look beyond the GPT-4 wrappers. it’s a low-effort, high-value move for the local dev scene.
