Language model: OpenEuroLLM aims to make AI in EU more independent and diverse
www.heise.de
A European consortium wants to build an open source family of powerful, multilingual large language models for private and public services.

The European Comission has granted €20 million to STEP, the European consortium that will create the AI model. It will be open source, European regulations-compliant and unlike Deepseek, its dataset will also be open source and will be trained in 35 languages.

    with that little money split between that many institutions, nothing will come of it.

    It’s especially pointless ever since DeepSeek R1 dropped. Now everyone has the recipie to build state of the art models, so it’s only a matter of time until European companies will create one.
