OpenLLM-Ro -- Technical Report on Open-source Romanian LLMs
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved almost human-like performance on various tasks. While some LLMs have been trained on multilingual data, most of the training data is in English. Hence, their performance in English greatly exceeds their performance in other languages. This document presents our approach to training and evaluating the first foundational and chat LLM specialized for Romanian.
Key facts. Cited by 7 papers in the map (data through 14 Oct 2026). Builds on 23 of its 31 references that are in the map. First posted on arXiv 13 May 2024.
