MILAN : Italian telecoms operator Fastweb said on Monday it plans to build an artificial intelligence large-language model (LLM) which is trained in native Italian to help its corporate and public administration customers develop AI tools.
“A group of generative AI experts will work through deep learning systems to develop an LLM based on large sets of data in the Italian language”, Fastweb said.
Fastweb said it will install a large-scale NVIDIA AI-powered supercomputer in its top data centre in the northern Italian region of Lombardy and also make such technology available to third-parties through its cloud services.
“This new LLM will be a nation-specific platform for the development by Fastweb and third parties of an extensive range of generative AI application”, it added in a statement.
