Facciamolo con fondi pubblici un modello davvero completamente Open, dai dati
di apprendimento, al codice, ai pesi del modello, ai test di valutazione.
Noi ci vorremmo provare, rispondendo a questa call:
https://aiboost-project.eu/
utilizzando in parte il codice OS di OLMo di AI2, con cui siamo in contatto.
