Project purpose

A consortium of 20 leading European research institutions, companies and EuroHPC centres will build a family of performant, multilingual, large language foundation models for commercial, industrial and public services.

Expected outcome

The transparent and compliant open-source models will democratize access to high-quality AI technologies and strengthen the ability of European companies to compete on a global market and public organizations to produce impactful public services.
