EU Initiative Boosts Multilingual LLMs and Data Access
The EU has launched an ambitious project to enhance the multilingual capabilities of existing large language models, particularly for EU official languages and beyond. The initiative will ensure easy access to foundational models ready for fine-tuning, expanding evaluation results across multiple languages, including AI safety and alignment with the AI Act and European AI standards. It also aims to increase the number of available training datasets and benchmarks, improve accessibility, and transparently share tools, recipes, and intermediate results from the training process, as well as dataset enrichment and anonymization pipelines. The ultimate goal is to foster an active community of developers and stakeholders across the public and private sectors.
