Start of the European AI language model project Open GPT-X

🚀 Exciting News! The European AI language model project, Open GPT-X, led by Fraunhofer IAIS and IIS, is set to revolutionize language technology with a focus on data protection and European language diversity. 🌍💬🔐 With key partners like TU Dresden's ZIH and 15 million euros in funding, this project is one to watch in the AI landscape! #AI #LanguageModel #OpenGPTX 🤖📚

  • The Open GPT-X project, led by Fraunhofer IAIS and IIS, aims to develop a European AI language model focusing on data protection and European language diversity.
  • The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action with around 15 million euros.
  • Key partners include TU Dresden's ZIH, Forschungszentrum Jülich, DFKI, Aleph Alpha, and others working on different aspects of the AI model development.
  • ZIH's role involves providing high-performance computing resources, improving model performance, and enhancing data management within the project.
  • Large AI language models like GPT-3 and Wu Dao 2.0 leverage massive datasets for tasks like text generation and customer support, raising concerns about data protection and language integration.
  • OpenAI's GPT-3, with over 175 billion parameters, set a new benchmark in language modeling but offers limited access through an interface.
  • The European Open GPT-X project aims to ensure digital sovereignty and market independence for Europe in the AI language technology domain.
