LLM-jp: A Cross-organizational Project for the Research and Development of Fully Open Japanese LLMs
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
This paper introduces LLM-jp, a cross-organizational project for the research and development of Japanese large language models (LLMs). LLM-jp aims to develop open-source and strong Japanese LLMs, and as of this writing, more than 1,500 participants from academia and industry are working together for this purpose. This paper presents the background of the establishment of LLM-jp, summaries of its activities, and technical reports on the LLMs developed by LLM-jp.
