This is no secret: Artificial intelligence manufactured in the United States and China faces the domination, Europe seeks to achieve its solution. With these ambitions, opticarm was born. According to the values of the union from this sophisticated project, open source and multi -linguistic language model is expected to provide alternatives to European companies, industries and administration. But this is nothing new, as Openolum was first launched on June 26, 2023.
Support to European Commission
If the project is talking about it today, the reason is that Openolum has just received the label of the “Strategic Technologies for Europe” (Step), which is a distinction given by the European Commission. This is the first for digital Europe for a financing project, and has access to additional funds with this identity. The project also collected 20 European players from the technical sector, research and high performance calculations infrastructure (Euro HPC). He is a pilot through Charles University (Czech Republic) by Professor John Haji č and Sileo A (Finland) co -founder Peter Sarlen. On the French, Lightton and Alliance for Language Technologies are among the partners.
A gondola head for digital autonomy
The purpose is to design transparent linguistic models according to European facts. Their open source character will allow companies and the administration to personalize them according to their needs, while ensuring strict respect for the opening and transparency principles. In fact, unlike the dominant solutions that are created outside Europe, Openurum is focusing on a multi -linguistic view of the European Union’s official languages. This project is also based on communities like Lyon and Open ML as well as dedicated strategic advice (Open Strategic Partnership Board). The move is certainly a wider dynamic where Europe wants to restrict its dependence to US and Chinese companies’ solutions.
In competition with giants with great sources
However, Openolum must deal with its US or Chinese rivals less than the budget. In fact, to date with a total budget of 37.4 million euros, which includes 20.6 million from the European program, Openolum faces $ 500 billion or a Meta Investment Star Gate project, which in 2025 in AI in AI Billion dollars should reach. It seems that the astronomical quantity, the European project’s budget is very heavy. Fortunately, the recent success of DPCAC, which claims to train its latest models at a much lower price than the open AI model, can restore a little hope. Even if DiPsic is suspected of not being completely transparent on these data …
