Episode 162: The future is here: DGT’s Large Language Model project

DGT Radio — Radio Lingvistika

What is a Large Language Model (LLM)? A neural network? A supercomputer? How and why is DG Translation building a new multilingual LLM?

Cristian Brasoveanu and Bhavani Bhaskar, from the AI team in DGT, explain it all in simple terms. They walk us through DGT’s LLM project, describing its unique assets: high quality linguistic data, checked by language experts, running on state-of-the-art supercomputers. They also explain how these supercomputers age and rejuvenate, and give their (rather optimistic) vision of the environmental impact of AI.
