Language technology company Tilde has released an open AI framework designed for all European languages.

The model, named 'TildeOpen', was developed with the support of the European Commission and trained on the Lumi supercomputer in Finland.

According to Tilde's head Artūrs Vasi?evskis, the project addresses a key gap in US-based AI systems, which often underperform for smaller European languages such as Latvian. By focusing on European linguistic diversity, the framework aims to provide better accessibility across the continent.

Vasi?evskis also suggested that Latvia has the potential to become an exporter of AI solutions. However, he acknowledged that development is at an early stage and that current applications remain relatively simple. The framework and user guidelines are freely accessible online.
