A language model built for the public good
In brief
- In late summer 2025, a publicly developed large language model (LLM) will be released — co-created by researchers at EPFL, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS).
- This LLM will be fully open: This openness is designed to support broad adoption and foster innovation across science, society, and industry.
- A defining feature of the model is its multilingual fluency in over 1,000 languages.
More open models are good! Granite needs a competitor.
I do hope they try an 'exotic' architecture. It doesn't have to be novel; another bitnet or Jamba/Falcon hybrid model would be sick. Is there anywhere I can submit suggestions, heh.
