Amália: Portuguese Chatgpt has almost the first ready version but only for federations investigators – computers

The guarantee was submitted yesterday in a statement issued by the Ministry of Youth, Modernization and the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, which is the protection of the project that Prime Minister announced on Websummit on November 11. Amália is one of the symbolic initiatives The national artificial intelligence schedule that will not be presented this month anymore Because the government is in the administration After the confidence movement progresses, the SAPO TEK source said.

Doubts arose over the ability to achieve the goal of presenting the Portuguese LLM until the end of the first quarter, as expected, and now The government confirms that “the first version of Amália will be completed at the end of March.”It also indicates that “the initial version will serve as a training and development base for subsequent versions – the basic version and the multimedia version.”

The statement says: “The works developed by the investigation centers are taking place within the project plan that was released in RCM No. 201/2024, and the first version of Amália (Beta version) will be completed by the end of March.”

S. Amália – A summary of the automatic multimedia assistant with artificial intelligence – This is the first model of the Portuguese language in Portugal. It is often presented as a Portuguese chat with the goals of being Sovereignty project for Portuguese languageTo be available to all open and free, so that they can use it to fulfill their projects.

According to joint information, “Beta version has the ability to receive and explain the textures of the text and respond to acquired knowledge, and not after a specialized knowledge yet“The version that will be available this month is primary and must be a training and development base for both subsequent versions – the basic version and the multimedia version.

In a statement, the government indicates that “at this stage, the experimental version will be available to investigators in the investigation centers that are part of the union.”

The project financing is guaranteed by investing 5.5 million euros, funded by PR, for a period of 18 months. In the initiative evaluation, it is defined that the first experimental version is issued in the first quarter of 2025, as it develops at the end of the third quarter to a basic version, and by the end of the first semester of 2026, the multimedia version will be available.

In a statement, The guardianship ministries remember that Ama – the Administrative Update Agency and the FCT Foundation – Science and Technology are entities that lead the project implementation. The first is “responsible for managing the initiative and ensuring the conditions necessary for the future deployment of LLM for all potential public and private users”, while FCT “is responsible for coordination, with research centers, and training and developing this training in this training and development.”

These two entities will guarantee, after 18 months of the project, the infrastructure and mechanisms necessary for the establishment and availability of Amalia for the entire societyEmphasizing that it will be available in the open source, for free.

The statement says: “The government is also repeated that these are the only entities participating in the Amália development project, and therefore there is no participation in private entities,” the statement says.

It was also released at the time of the launch of Amália, His training and technical development is responsible for “Consortium led by Nova Linz Research Centers at the New Lisbon University and the Institute of Wireless Communications, and it integrates Técnico, and will merge other national research centers with a recognized feature in artificial intelligence.”“The same source says.

It is also noteworthy that “in order to make the model as strong as possible and allow the benefit of synergy with the knowledge developed by other research centers and the start of the Amalia training process with specific areas data (such as the media, science and education), FCT has concluded a contract with Lisituto Superior Técnico, as well Gate“. Below is a value of 4.6 million euros and an implementation period of 476 days, which corresponds to about 15 months.

“This project is implemented in the expression with national research centers, such as Nova Links, IT, IT-IID, INESC-TEC, CISUC and Galegoritmi, which includes researchers in addition to the Borira Interior University and Ivora University,” he adds.

S. The development of artificial intelligence projects is accompaniedINESC President and Al -Kamil Professor at the Lisbon University Institute, who has Goreti Marreiros, President of the Portuguese Society for Artificial Intelligence and the Main Institute of Engineering in Porto; Daniela Braga, which represents the Accelerat.ai Federation, fills the agenda under the recovery and flexibility plan; The Paulo Dimas, the responsible artificial intelligence center, is filling the agenda under the recovery and flexibility plan.

The committee aims to “ensure best practices for developing large language models, compliance with moral and safety principles and advice on the potential application of the model in the various activities sectors.”
