During Data Science Conference 2023 in Belgrade on Thursday, 23 November, it was announced that Real AI won the ISCRA project. Real AI is chosen to construct Europe’s first-ever Human-Centered LLM on the world’s 4th largest AI Computer Cluster ‘LEONARDO’.  

LEONARDO – the World’s 4the Largest AI Cluster
The Leonardo supercomputer, situated on the CINECA data center in Bologna, is a high-performance computing powerhouse. It’s built across the Atos BullSequana XH2000 computer system, incorporating nearly 14,000 Nvidia Ampere GPUs. Leonardo ranks because the fourth fastest supercomputer on the planet and second in Europe as of its inauguration in November 2022. This technical prowess positions Leonardo as an important asset for advancing AI applications across Europe​​.

REAL AI’s unique opportunity-
– Tarry Singh, CEO of Real AI B.V. 

Real AI will construct the primary Human-Centered LLM (large language model) by allocating substantial computing power from Leonardo, to significantly speed up the event of a LLM from scratch. This ambitious project positions Real AI on the forefront of AI development, committed to environmental stewardship and technological innovation. 

Project HOMINIS:
Human-centered Open-source Model for Intelligent, Neutral and Inclusive Systems. Project HOMINIS goals to revolutionize AI by creating ethical, bias-free AI systems using open, inspectable datasets. Addressing toxicity in web-scale datasets, it proposes sustainable alternatives to AI foundation models, reducing environmental impact. The project’s 4 primary goals include: 1) Compiling high-value, diverse datasets from various sources, including scientific papers and knowledge bases, while eliminating biased content; 2) Conducting extensive ablation studies on transformer models and exploring alternative architectures; 3) Optimizing the inspiration model using advanced techniques, resulting in a preliminary release for community collaboration; 4) Implementing instruction tuning for ethical alignment, culminating in the ultimate release of a responsibly trained AI model. Moreover, HOMINIS seeks to scale back energy consumption using revolutionary methods like Flash Attention and routing, enhancing data processing efficiency, and improving model interference and knowledge integration.

Real AI’s partnership with UNINA AND NVIDIA:
UNINA, The University of Naples Federico II, has a notable record in significant initiatives. For instance, the primary Apple iOS Developer Academy in 2016, the Cisco Digital. Transformation Lab in 2018 and most recently (along with Real AI) is founding member of Europe’s first Human Centered AI Masters. 

NVIDIA is the world’s largest AI company, having transformed the GPU into a strong computing brain that intersects with virtual reality, high-performance computing, and AI.
