They talk about us... franceinfo franceinfo
Since Saturday evening, LUCIE, the entirely Opensource LLM developed jointly with the OpenLLM France community and based 100% on transparent data, has found itself at the heart of fierce criticism and controversy, but is also benefiting from strong and massive support from those in the Tech community who know what is involved in the development and deployment of AI technology.
The media also echo these exchanges, and each time LINAGORA has the opportunity to explain the history, the challenges and, above all, the future of LUCIE.
THANK YOU to everyone who has given us their support since Saturday 25 January and helped us in this much-needed exercise in communication and education. You are wonderful... LUCIE
Selected excerpts:
- ‘For sociologist Yann Ferguson, this French AI is ‘less powerful than ChatGPT’, but its target audience is ‘committed, benevolent and qualitative’ people who support the ‘100% open source’ AI approach and are ‘committed to transparency’..
- ‘For Anis Ayari, artificial intelligence engineer and creator of the Defend Intelligence YouTube channel. ‘We must continue to want to create an open source French sovereign AI.’
- ‘LINAGORA has participated in research work with OpenLLM-France in complete independence. There was no order from the State, no call for tenders, and the French Ministry of Education never envisaged using Lucie as such. Linagora was, however, instructed to adapt its AI to education-related use cases, as part of its funding under the France 2030 investment plan, deployed by the Ministry of the Economy to enable France to catch up industrially.’
