AMD Silo AI is at the heart of AI developments in Europe, according to the recent news of the OpenEuroLLM project.
I hope AMD can emerge as a leading player in sovereign AI. Already, one of the largest supercomputing resource available to EU academic and governmental organisations is the AMD-powered LUMI supercomputer in Finland, still ranked number 8 in the world (TOP500). For many countries and organisations, LUMI is also the largest AI training resource available. Silo AI has a history of using LUMI to train sovereign AI models.
Remember, Dr. Thomas Zacharia, the former director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, who also oversaw the delivery of Frontier, the first exascale supercomputer, joined AMD last year as senior vice president of strategic technology partnerships and public policy (InsideHPC). With his background, he should be a heavy-weight resource on the executive team when it comes to supercomputing and sovereign AI, I would think.
Open LLMs for transparent AI in Europe
Europe’s leading AI companies and research institutions combine their forces and expertise to develop next-generation open-source language models in an unprecedented collaboration to advance European AI capabilities, the OpenEuroLLM project.
A consortium of 20 leading European research institutions, companies and EuroHPC centres coordinated by Jan Hajic (Charles University, Czechia) and co-led by Peter Sarlin (AMD Silo AI, Finland) will build a family of performant, multilingual, large language foundation models for commercial, industrial and public services. LUMI will be one of the platforms used in the project. The transparent and compliant open-source models will democratize access to high-quality AI technologies and strengthen the ability of European companies to compete on a global market and public organizations to produce impactful public services.
