ELLIOT: Multimodal AI project, funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe), featuring the question "Why is ELLIOT good for Europe and the world?". The image promotes open, versatile Artificial Intelligence, multimodal Foundation Models, and their application in areas such as climate, autonomous driving, and media.
ELLIOT is building the next generation of open, versatile Foundation Models for Europe.
We'll create smarter AI that understands video, text, and many other data types, with a real-world impact in climate, driving, media and more!
Thank you to our 30 partners across Europe!
