>Moonshot 1: GPT-4 Parity (2027)
>Objective: 100B parameter model matching GPT-4 benchmarks, proving European technical viability
This feels like a joke... Parity with a 2024 model in 2027? The Chinese didn't wait, they just did it.
The timeline for #1 LLM is also so far into the future that it is entirely plausible that by 2031, nobody uses transformer based LLMs as we know them today anymore. For reference: The attention paper is only 8 years old. Some wild new architecture could come out in that time that makes catching up meaningless.
Note the EU-Moonshot project is based on own silicon / compute sovereignty.
GPT4 parity on a own silicon trained indigenous model is just an early goal.
Indeed, the ultimate goal is EU LLM supremacy - which means under democratic control.
