LUCIE: winner of the France 2030 programme ... 20 minutes

They talk about us... 20 Minutes France

As you know, LUCIE, the 100% open source LLM developed with the OpenLLM France community and based exclusively on transparent data, has been the subject of lively debate in recent weeks, but is also benefiting from frank and massive support from those in the Tech community who know what is involved in the development and deployment of AI technology.

The media are also echoing these exchanges, and each time LINAGORA has the opportunity to reiterate the history, the challenges and, above all, the future of LUCIE.

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us since Saturday 25 January and helped us in this much-needed exercise in communication and education. You are wonderful...

• Unlike tech giants such as ChatGPT, Lucie, which ‘has no economic ambitions’, promises transparency over the data used to train it, explained Mr Maudet. This will make it possible, for example, to ensure that answers are based on verified scientific data;
• This [...] start-up does not prevent Lucie's promoters from hoping to put Lucie back online soon, after having developed it further, to offer everyone ‘a model of language of general interest’;
