AI rulez in Poland! The New Polish Open Language Model and AI Technologies.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs announced the launch of PLLuM today. This is another large, open language model, after Bielik.AI, which can be seen as a rival to projects such as the American ChatGPT or the Chinese DeepSeek. Experts emphasize that this is a breakthrough moment, because we are joining a small group of AI leaders who already have more than one such AI model.

There is no doubt that the debut of PLLuM is a signal that Poland is joining the ongoing AI race, as well as proof that it can use the potential of incredibly talented engineers, not only to power big tech projects, but also to create its own advanced technologies. According to experts, the next model after Bielik LLM will drive implementations in companies.

Of course, both technologies require a lot of improvement. What counts is they are already working.

Wow, the Staff, thank you for completing my thread name. But, if you are already on it, it might be also useful to add and other (or a similar one) at the end, cos we will probably talk about other AI technologies apart from language ones over these years when the forum is functioning. :):):)

Coming back to both Polish technologies. Their creators do not view each other as competition.

Two Polish AI models
Bielik.AI is a grassroots initiative of AI fans and experts gathered around the SpeakLeash/Spichlerz project. PLLuM, on the other hand, is a model created by the government and a consortium of research institutions, including NASK and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Importantly, their work is not perceived by the creators of Bielik as competition at all. "What a beautiful day for Polish AI! We are glad that the Polish artificial intelligence ecosystem is becoming richer. Bielik.AI welcomes PLLuM to the family of Polish language models," wrote Jędrzej Paulus, Bielik's brand manager, on LinkedIn.

For those who don`t know Polish, Bielik is a common name for the white eagle species.

E.g, PLLuM uses 8 to 70 billion parameters while other like Chatetc up to 200 billion.

BTW, this name is very clever. You probably associate it with English fruit word but it also has its Polish meaning. What exactly???

It is therefore useful and wise to acquaint oneself with the teaching of the Holy See on the matter in question...

Is he a Butlerian? Because AI really makes me think that Butler was on to something....

Read and see for yourself.

I like it that the Vatiacn document quotes Ecclesiasticus/Sirach near the beginning. "Ancient wisdom" is often nonsense however the book written by Yeshua Ben Sirach is not.
