LRZ AI Team Develops 10B Language Model

Bavarian, German and English – in one large language model: To enable AI to understand Bavarian, the LRZ developed and trained an own language model.

Do-you want to translate “Hock di hera, samma mera”* into German or English? Now there’s Llama-GENBA-10B. The trilingual language model is based on Meta’s Large Language Model (LLM) Llama, version 3.1-8B, and was trained by researchers at LRZ and Cerebras Systems with 10 billion parameters using a dataset of 164 billion tokens…

Photonic computer for AI use cases at LRZ

At LRZ in Garching, a photonic computer for AI use cases was put into operation in an HPC environment for the first time worldwide. The Native Processing Server (NPS) from German start-up Q.ANT uses light instead of electrons for computing and therefore does not require energy-intensive cooling. Through parallel processing at different wavelengths, the technology promises high computing power combined with high energy-efficiency…
