Latam-GPT: The Free, Open Source, and Collaborative AI of Latin America
Latam-gpt is new Great language model is developed in and for Latin America. The project, led by the Nonprofit Silese National Center for artificial intelligence (Cenia) to help the technological independence by developing an open source of Latin-American languages and contexts.
“This work cannot be undertaken by only one country in Latin America: it is a challenge that requires a challenge of everyone,” says álvaro Sotor, director of Cenia, in an interview with Wired and Español. “Latam-gpt is a project that seeks to make an open, and, equivalent AI model in the lanes of various countries, with a interesting, with governments that are interested in the project.”
The project is out for his collaborative mind. “We do not seek to compete with Openai, Deepsek, or Google. We want to secure a model, as the cultural requirements, such as the history of the region, and unique cultural aspects,” explains Soto.
Thanks to 33 strategic collaborations in Latin America and the Caribbean America and the Caribbean accumulated the project of data that is text for more than eight terabyten the equipment of millions of books. This information Base has enabled the development of a Language Model with 50 Billion to GPTAs in the COMPARABLE TO GIVIZ TO HIGH CAPACITY TO PAKE SUCH AS Reasoning, translation, and associations.
Latam-GPT is trained on a regional database compiling information from 20 Latin American countries and Spain, with an impressive total 2,645.500 documents. The division of data indicates a major concentration in the region, with Brazil, with Documents with 685,000, Colombia by 220,000, and Argentina with 210,000 documents. The figures reflect the size of these marks, their digital development, and availability of structured content.
“In the first, we are launching a language model. We expect his performance in the general tasks to be, but if we asks for our region to be his knowledge,” explains Soto.
The first model is the starting point for developing a family of more advanced technologies in the future, including image and video, and for the sciles of the larger models. “While this is an open project, we want to use the other institutions to use. A group in Colombie can be able to generate for the other areas or agriculture, culture, and others,” explains the Cenia Director.
