# Norwegian Large Language Models

Welcome to the emerging collection of large-scale generative language models for the Norwegian language. 
[NorLM](http://norlm.nlpl.eu/) (or, more recently, NORA.LLM) originated as a joint initiative of the projects 
[EOSC-Nordic](https://www.eosc-nordic.eu/) (European Open Science Cloud), [SANT](https://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/english/research/projects/sant/index.html) (Sentiment Analysis for Norwegian), and [HPLT](https://hplt-project.org/) (High-Performance Language Technologies), 
in collaboration with the [AI Laboratory of the National Library of Norway](https://ai.nb.no/) and the [National e-Infrastructure Services](https://www.sigma2.no/), 
coordinated by the [Language Technology Group](https://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/english/research/groups/ltg/) (LTG) at the University of Oslo.

We are working to provide these models and supporting tools for researchers and developers in Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Norwegian language. 
We do so in the hope of facilitating scientific experimentation with and practical applications of state-of-the-art NLP architectures, 
as well as to enable others to develop their own large-scale models, for example for domain- or application-specific tasks, language variants, 
or even other languages than Norwegian.
