⭐️ We're going to launch Grassroots Science, a year-long ambitious, massive-scale, fully open-source initiative aimed at developing multilingual LLMs aligned to diverse and inclusive human preferences in Feb 2025. 🌐 Check our website: grassroots.science/ and be sure to complete the interest form if you'd like to participate. ☄️ This global collaboration was initiated and organized by members of SEACrowd @sealpworkshop, @MasakhaneNLP, @ai4bharat, @RojakNLP, and past collaborators of @BigscienceW, etc. Our mission is to establish an initiative where grassroots can work together in high-profile projects. We are excited to see what we can achieve together! #NLProc #GrassrootsScience Thank you to early initiators who efficiently helped kick off the project! @gentaiscool @yong_zhengxin @ruochenz_ @ljvmiranda @AlhamFikri, including our grassroots community partners @davlanade, @HolyLovenia and @prajdabre1 and all future collaborators!
