LUCIE: A truly Open Source generative AI for Europe


A look back at the speech given by our AI Program Director Andrzej Neugebauer at the AlpOSS event.

The full speech can be found here  

Today, generative AI is shaping our daily lives, but it is mainly being developed in the United States and China. Europe needs to be a player in this revolution, not just a consumer.

At LINAGORA, we have taken up this challenge with LUCIE, our truly Open Source LLM model:

  • Total transparency: accessible and documented training data
  • European sovereignty: a model designed for French and European languages
  • Efficiency and sobriety: just 7 billion parameters, optimised drive to reduce carbon footprint
  • Committed community: more than 1,000 researchers and engineers working with OpenLLM

     

We want to prove that a compact, specialised model can be an alternative to the American and Chinese giants. With the right fine-tuning and precise use cases, small models can be more efficient and more ethical!
