An AI model developed by Ras Al Khaimah-based Falcons AI has surpassed 50.8 million downloads in the past 28 days on Hugging Face, making it the sixth most downloaded model out of over 1,400 hosted on the platform. The Fine-Tuned Vision Transformer (ViT) classifies NSFW images and was trained on 80,000 curated images with a learning rate of 5e-5 and batch size of 16. It is available under an Apache 2.0 licence.

By comparison, Deepseek recorded 3.7 million downloads in the same period, meaning Falcons AI achieved 12-13 times more downloads despite Deepseek's massive global publicity. The surge underscores community trust and growing global demand for AI-powered content moderation tools across corporate governance, media publishing, and regulatory domains.

Headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah, Falcons AI provides AI solutions for businesses and governments, focusing on automation, efficiency, and decision-making support. The success highlights the UAE's strategic investment in its AI ecosystem, with R&D labs, commercial ventures, and independent experts making a global impact alongside releases from MBZUAI and TII.
