A new version of Italy's response to
ChatGPT, Minerva, was presented at Rome's La Sapienza University
Tuesday.
The new AI system is called Minerva7B, where 7B stands for 7
billion parameters, more than double the previous one.
It has been designed by a team led by Roberto Navigli of the
Natural Language Processing of Sapienza.
Accessible to all at https://minerva-llm.org , Minerva7B is a
project developed by the Sapienza Nlp research group within the
Future Artificial Intelligence Research, the project that
implements the national strategy on artificial intelligence
thanks to EU-financed National Recovery and Resilience Plan
(NRRP) funds, and in collaboration with the high-tech Cineca
company which made the Leonardo supercomputer available.
"Today we present the first pre-trained model in Italian style
ChatGpt, therefore a linguistic model, which is called Minerva
7B", said Navigli.
"It is a model that is also trained to respond to questions and
instructions, commands and it is particularly interesting
because we have done important work on the security of the
model, the so-called safety, that is, the ability of the model
to avoid and respond to questions that could lead to the
generation of unwanted or malicious content".
