On June 9, the pretraining for the first OpenEuroLLM model started during the project’s team meeting at AI Sweden’s office in Stockholm. In this episode, Jan Hajic, co-coordinator of the OpenEuroLLM project, and Jonas Lindh, Head of Research, NLU at AI Sweden, join the podcast to discuss what’s next for European LLMs, why open models are important for European sovereignty, and how to get there.
