OpenAire: LLMs4Europe Launches: Europe Builds Its Own Fine-Tuned Large Language Models for Key Sectors
From OpenAire:
Europe is taking control of its digital future. With the launch of LLMs4Europe, a major new project funded by the Digital Europe Programme and coordinated by ALT-EDIC, over 70 partners from across the continent have joined forces to build open, trustworthy, and multilingual Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored to European needs.
The goal? To create domain-specific LLMs for five strategic sectors: Energy, Telecommunications, Tourism, Public Services, and Science.
The Science Pilot, coordinated by CrossLang, brings together OpenAIRE, Athena Research Center, CNRS, CNR, and BSC among others to create LLM-based tools for researchers and policymakers. These models will support multilingual literature discovery, evidence synthesis, and automated policy briefs in areas such as life sciences and social sciences.
