“This [OpenEuroLLM] is really just a broader participation, but more focused on generative LLMs,” Hajič said. “So it’s not starting from zero in terms of data, expertise, tools, and compute experience. We have assembled people who know what they’re doing — we should be able to get up to speed quickly.”
Hajič said that he expects the first version(s) to be released by mid-2026, with the final iteration(s) arriving by the project’s conclusion in 2028. But those goals might still seem lofty when you consider that there isn’t much to poke at yet beyond a bare-bones GitHub profile.
