“You could say that OpenEuroLLM actually has quite a significant budget,” Sarlin said. “EuroHPC has invested billions in AI and compute infrastructure, and have committed billions more into expanding that in the coming few years.”
It’s also worth noting that the OpenEuroLLM project isn’t building toward a consumer- or enterprise-grade product. It’s purely about the models, and this is why Sarlin reckons the budget it has should be ample.
