The point is that norway willl have its own LLM. And will not have dependencies to another state or private company. The goal is not to be the best model. But to have a model that include more Norwegian data then other LLM and that it's not screwed against other sources.
But what does that give you? If the model is far less capable? What will it do for you with that Norwegian data, that a better model could not do with better search or context?
A model has many dimensions. You can't have them on one scale from good to bad. The model will most likely be poor at coding. But will give better answers about Norwegian cultur. I assume the tone of voice will be (by default) much closer to how Norwegians talk and write then what we current see from model from the US. They seem to be a bit to much.. Norwegian people are a bit more down to earth
Other better models cant use the training data this model have...
