The implementation of the latest generation large language models (LLM) would not be possible without supercomputers. That’s why major AI players from OpenAI to Google and Meta are competing to build massive GPU-based supercomputers to enable larger and better language and multimodal models.
LUMI, the fastest supercomputer in Europe and one of the world’s leading research instruments, is now available to Finnish companies, regardless of whether your company is big or small! Come and learn how your company can also get access to world-class resources.
We will explain what needs to be considered when working with a supercomputer and how you can get access to them. In addition, we will guide you on how you can support LUMI. At the same time, you will learn about the available funding models and how you can test the system’s suitability for free before making an investment decision.
The Accelerator Innovations with Natural Language Processing seminar will be held on January 25, 2024, from 09:00 to 11:30 in Keilaniemi, Espoo. The event can also be attended via remote connection.
