Introduction to Silo’s New AI Model

In a bold move that shakes up the AI landscape, the Finnish company Silo has unveiled its latest creation – the Poro language model. This European AI language model marks a significant shift in the generative AI domain, traditionally dominated by Silicon Valley giants like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta. Poro, meaning ‘reindeer’ in Finnish, embodies a fusion of linguistic diversity, showcasing Europe’s potential in the realm of AI.

The Rise of European AI in the Global Tech Scene

For long, the AI industry has been a playground for Big Tech companies with massive resources. However, Silo’s Poro model represents a new era where Europe’s tech capabilities are brought to the forefront. The model, developed in collaboration with the University of Turku, stands out not just for its technological prowess but also for its strategic significance in the global AI race.

Poro: A Multilingual Model Challenging Silicon Valley

Poro is unique in its approach to language processing. Trained on both Finnish and English texts, it serves as a proof of concept that high-performance, multilingual AI models are feasible. “You’re able to generate code in Finnish even though the model has not seen any Finnish code,” explains Peter Sarlin, co-founder and CEO of Silo. This innovative approach allows Poro to interpret and respond in Finnish, leveraging its cross-trained English data.

The Importance of Diverse Language Data

Central to Poro’s development is the wealth of language data available in Europe. The High Performance Language Technologies (HPLT) project, an EU-funded initiative, has accumulated 7 petabytes of language data across 80 languages. This extensive database gives European models like Poro a significant edge, especially in less commonly used languages where online data is scarce.

Cross-Training: Bilingual Skills in AI

Poro’s ability to work with multiple languages simultaneously is a testament to the effectiveness of cross-training techniques in AI. This method enables the model to learn how different languages relate, enhancing its linguistic flexibility. Silo’s commitment to open-source these techniques promises to accelerate AI development across all European languages.

The Role of EU-Funded Supercomputer LUMI

A key component of Poro’s training involved LUMI, the EU-funded supercomputer. Despite using AMD chips, which are often considered less efficient for AI purposes, Sarlin notes that his team has successfully adapted software for optimal AI training. This development not only boosts Poro’s capabilities but also signifies Europe’s growing independence in technological infrastructure.

Future Prospects for European AI Models

Looking ahead, Silo’s Poro model sets a precedent for European innovation in AI. The focus on multilingualism and the utilization of EU-funded resources like LUMI highlight the potential for Europe to carve out its niche in the AI industry. By leveraging these unique strengths, European AI can compete globally, offering alternatives to the models developed by US-based Big Tech companies.
