Potential Polish equivalent of GPT. Successful cooperation on AI between Gdańsk Tech and OPI

graphic Qra
Gdańsk University of Technology and AI Lab from the National Information Processing Institute (OPI) – National Research Institute developed generative neural language models trained on a terabyte of text data exclusively in Polish. Qra is the first of its kind and the best in modeling Polish language equivalent of open tools like Meta or Mistral AI. Qra understands Polish content better, has an improved comprehension of asked questions and produces coherent texts.

Gdańsk Tech and OPI developed Polish generative models called Qra, trained on data corpus containing texts only in Polish. Initially, the corpus used the total of almost 2TB of raw text data, but as a result of cleaning and deduplication processes, it was reduced almost twice in order to maintain the best quality and unique content. This is the first generative model trained on such a large resource of Polish texts, using great computing power.
