Building upon IBM’s AI tools and open-source prowess, the goal is to enable Spanish-speaking communities to contribute to strengthening the proposed model for additional use cases. The collaboration will also work to build other Spanish-language models, including smaller models for related dialects like Catalan, Basque, and Galician.
“We will leverage IBM’s deep investments across the entire AI stack, from compute to models, we will enable an open community to drive the full potential of AI technologies,” said IBM’s Darío Gil, senior vice president and director of IBM Research. “Together, we can ensure that AI is used ethically to drive sustainable growth in Spain, and all Spanish speaking countries worldwide.”
