Overlapping EU projects must compete for limited public compute.
So another mid vintage LLM in two years no one will use. Great.
Europe has the talent, infrastructure and industrial capacity to build advanced AI systems.
We've chosen the EUROPA consortium to build an open-source frontier AI model in all 24 official EU languages↓
Many users reacted negatively to the EU selecting the EUROPA Consortium for an open-source frontier AI model, citing past wasteful spending, lack of infrastructure, and general skepticism about the project's viability.

@Dorialexander > The selected project will receive up to 2.5% of the overall EuroHPC computing capacity for one year
And just took a quick skim, Domyn seems to do "take nemotron, run on "eu enterprise nice data" whatever that means?

You have to imagine Sisyphus happy (from latest blog)

@Dorialexander We're so fucking cooked
Europe launching multiple competing AI projects with overlapping goals which compete with one another for access to limited public compute

@redtachyon Well we supported the one capable team for this, but not meant to be.
@giffmana And optimizing somehow only for MMLU.

@Dorialexander This is the real problem. It's structural. I tell everyone who will listen.
It can't be one shot. If there is nowhere for iteration, nowhere for expertise to accrue and for processes to be refined, then you're never going to compete.

"Come on, EU, when are you going to make real chaton fat"
"We have real chaton fat at home"

@Dorialexander EU is famous for this
in Finland the gov paid 11 million euros to a company to create a chatbot which was then scrapped altogether when the first ChatGPT came out
the bot was created to give advise but it didn't know how to advise people at all
@xlr8harder Europe's Got Talent talent show. Since infrastructure and industrial capacity are nowhere to be seen.
