> A series of foundation models for transparent AI in Europe Am I the only one who doesn't see any link to any model? Too many words, no actual outcome.

Looks like they started work Feb 1 and haven't made anything yet.

Probably waiting on the editor to find reviewers. So far the editor couldn’t find reviewers with experience in making an open LLM.

But can I run it on Gaia-X? This really reads like a parody. Press release, “a consortium of 20 research institutions”, “awarded the STEP (Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform) seal”. Lots of grandiose self-congratulations. All with nothing to run, download or try of course.

It’s par for the course for this union. It’s just comical given the very recent political events.

Europe is moving at the speed of bureaucracy. It's slow, but inexorable.

And honestly, people don't _want_ the European bureaucracy to move fast. Case in point: the USA.

》under EU regulations, OpenEuroLLM will provide a series of transparent and performant LLMs What EU relulations? It is a moving target, and nobody knows what exactly apply. It would be nice to provide list of regulations with references. And some testing suite or checklist, to verify AI use actually fits regulations. Right now, if I integrate spellchecker into my app, I have no idea if I am breaking any AI EU regulat…

Don't worry, I would be immensely impressed if they even finish a pretraining run for a competitive model. Let alone get to the stage of doing any kind of fine tuning for any kind of purpose.

Well, perhaps they could take Deepseek, feed it with all EU directives, ask on each if it's related to AI (or whatever) and spill out results.

It could be even nice idea for startup. All data are publicly available...

They also had some search engine announced with similar name like "openeurosearch" or something close to that. That project too seems dormant lately. They just announce things and then the train leaves the station.

That was just an Ecosia rebrand, not an official EU thing: https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-j...
