To maintain Europe’s scientific and economic competitiveness now and in the future, we believe it is essential to develop large AI language models from the ground up. Therefore, we did not consider it sufficient to base the models developed in OpenGPT-X solely on “wrappers” of existing models and to limit the scope of our scientific research to models developed by third parties.

As discussed in the following sections, the main challenges in creating competitive European language models are the availability of computational resources and high-quality data.

We believe that collaboration is essential to overcome these challenges and to strengthen the European GenAI landscape. Therefore, OpenGPT-X invites researchers, developers and AI enthusiasts to join and contribute. To support this collaboration, we have set up a dedicated Discord server, providing a space for technical discussions, idea exchange, and direct interaction with the development team. In addition, resources such as research publications and the European LLM Leaderboard provide insight into the performance and technical specifications of our Teuken-7B models. We encourage continued community engagement and collaborative exploration as the project evolves.

A fundamental principle in the development of Teuken-7B-v0.4 was to ensure that it was multilingual by design, specifically considering the diverse linguistic landscape of Europe. By prioritizing the representation of non-English European languages, our goal was to create a model that stands apart from those developed in the US and China.
