Latin America is advancing in the development of AI with the creation of Latam-GPT, a language model designed to better represent the history, culture, and linguistic diversity of the region. Announced at the Paris AI Action Summit, the project is led by Chile’s Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation (CTCI) and the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (Cenia), with support from experts and institutions across Latin America. This model – which is released as open source – has been developed with 50B parameters and a database, comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-3.5. The development of Latam-GPT has been funded through an investment, with contributions from the Andean Development Corporation and the University of Tarapacá. Collaborating countries include Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, alongside support from institutions in the United States and Spain.
