Latam-GPT: The Free, Open Source, and Collaborative AI of Latin America
WIRED talks to the director of the Chilean National Center for Artificial Intelligence about Latam-GPT, the large-language model that aims to address the region’s specific needs and change the current technological dynamic.
The project, led by the nonprofit Chilean National Center for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA), aims to help the region achieve technological independence by developing an open source AI model trained on Latin American languages and contexts. “This work cannot be undertaken by just one group or one country in Latin America: It is a challenge that requires everyone’s participation,” says Álvaro Soto, director of CENIA, in an interview with WIRED en Español. This information base has enabled the development of a language model with 50 billion parameters, a scale that makes it comparable to GPT-3.5 and gives it a medium to high capacity to perform complex tasks such as reasoning, translation, and associations.
