> A series of foundation models for transparent AI in Europe

From https://openeurollm.eu/launch-press-release (3 Feb 2025):
> "The models will be developed within Europe's robust regulatory framework...
Not a surprising stance if the project is funded by the people who are responsible for said regulatory framework
I think the intent of highlighting that sentence ('The models will be developed within Europe's robust regulatory framework') was to draw attention to the fact that the sponsors will not move fast nor achieve anything of note. To put it more sarcastically, with sponsors like that, who needs others throwing down roadblocks!
To make the regulation even more effective of course
I think they've yet to train let alone release any models. This is just a press release about the effort
Starting by misleading? Nice start!
The title should be “effort to train model” or plans, not saying “series”! Series without having even one?
Looks like they started work Feb 1 and haven't made anything yet.
Probably waiting on the editor to find reviewers. So far the editor couldn’t find reviewers with experience in making an open LLM.
