The FMR-Lab is part of national and international projects for the development of large European foundation models. These include OpenGPT-X, TrustLLM and EuroLingua-GPT, in which large foundation models are trained from scratch on the basis of several million GPU hours and several thousand GPUs.  


The distinctive feature of the work at the FMR-Lab is that research questions are derived and defined.
