A pan-European team of researchers have used a dedicated grant from the EuroHPC supercomputing consortium to create an artificial intelligence model specially designed to perform better in EU languages.
In European languages, the EuroLLM model is on a par with open source rivals created by Google and Meta, [recently released benchmarks say](https://huggingface.co/blog/eurollm-team/eurollm-9b), and the idea is that it will allow EU companies, governments and researchers to create tools that perform better in local tongues.
“It benefits the whole ecosystem,” said Andre Martins, a computer scientist at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, and one of the team that built EuroLLM. “It was the computing grant \[…\] that made everything possible.”
The model is already open for developers…
