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.

The three goals featured prominently above the fold are:

> truly open > including data, documentation, training and testing code, and evaluation metrics; including community involvement

> compliant > under EU regulations, OpenEuroLLM will provide a series of transparent and performant LLMs

> diverse > for European languages and other socially and economically interesting ones, preserving linguistic and cultural diversity

The first one seems good, but the second two seem to be pretty beside the point of creating models that compete with the cutting edge of China and the USA.
