From the EuroLLM-9B page on hugginface; >You need to agree to share your contact information to access this model Is this common? I've never seen it on the site before, and it isn't on the smaller model. What are they collecting this information for?

Reviewer (Scientific Expert) for the EU (since 2009) here. The probability of getting a Horizon Europe grant allegedly (not official stats) is about 8.5% according to some friends, which may seem low. You need to write 70 pages following a Word template and the key goal is to cover answers to a large number of questions. Each proposal gets various grades across a range of dimensions, which get added up and if you obt…
Can you confirm (or not) the mandatory female co-founder? I could swear I read it. Or could it be another EU fund?

Including the nasty political side-show that is Ulster Scots - literally only brought in as a chilling effect 'whataboutism' to diminish support when Irish speakers ask for language rights in Northern Ireland. https://www.reddit.com/r/northernireland/comments/1fivtob/no...
This completely ignores the history of published writing in Ulster Scots going back centuries.

All the models from all the big providers (even the Chinese models!) support all of these languages already. The big win for accessibility has already been won...3 years ago.
I asked a Finnish person how good an answer about the language example from ChatGPT was. It turned out to be a hallucination, a confidently sounding nonsense. The quality of internet trained models degrade very fast with language material size
1. It's a nice start, but the EU has to scale to Manhattan Project levels in order to properly compete with the US and China. 2. A credible scale effort for EU own silicon for AI Compute, wouldn't hurt either. 3. And this can only be achieved by vertical integration to combat fragmentation.
> It's a nice start, but the EU has to scale to Manhattan Project levels in order to properly compete with the US and China. Yep, the US-government sponsored, open-weight LLM is miles ahead of EuroLLM

My German teacher always claimed that Swiss German and German German (Hochdeutsch) were so different that she needed subtitles to understand it, and she didn't understand why they weren't considered separate languages.
They are in fact considered separate languages.
The dialects are a whole other thing though.

Not sure which Tunisians are claiming this but they'd definitely need a lot more than minimum effort. Maltese split off from Arabic around 1k years ago. The two languages sound pretty different, and are written with different alphabets.
As an Algerian, I can confirm that Maltese is surprisingly easy to understand. I was genuinely shocked the first time I heard it because the similarities are so obvious. Many Arabic dialects are also written using the Latin alphabet, especially online and on social media, so the different writing systems aren’t really a barrier at all.

> When you talk to most EU business owners, even in tech, the limiting factor isn't regulations. I have a tech startup in Estonia and I agree. To me the biggest limiting factor is lack of funding.
Yep, VCs don't exist here. Plus the absurd starting costs, it's like what, 20k to set up a GmbH?
