Machine Learning Engineers and Scientists (OpenEuroLLM)

⏰ Quick reminder: we're still accepting applications for our ML Scientist / Engineering positions on @openeurollm.bsky.social at the @ellisinsttue.bsky.social ! If you're keen in working on LLMs for European languages and haven’t applied yet, now’s the time!

We’ll be hiring soon—so stay tuned if you're interested in joining us on this journey! 😊

While this is certainly an ambitious goal, it’s one that I deeply believe in. I look forward to collaborating with the community, advancing open science, and helping shape a more transparent, inclusive, and sovereign future for AI in Europe.

I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity to build open and European frontier models and to contribute to the broader European AI ecosystem 🇪🇺 .

I am thrilled to share that I’ve joined the ELLIS Institue Tübingen (@ellisinsttue.bsky.social) to lead a team, together with David Salinas, contributing to OpenEuroLLM (@openeurollm.bsky.social) .

Special thanks to Luca Thale-Bombien for his contributions on new blackboxes and all the community for their feedback 🙏. If you want to know more about the project feel free to join our Discord channel and leave us a star on GitHub 🌟.

Large-scale benchmarking: You can now easily run experiments to benchmark various optimizers either locally or on SLURM. Looking forward to seeing many cool approaches benchmarked in academia on hundreds of blackboxes! 💪

New blackboxes: We integrated recent optimization suits such as TabRepo and HPO-B. We have now more than 4000 different blackboxes available to simulate your HPO Methods 🤯

Major refactor: We did a major overhaul of the library to make it leaner, allowing you to more easily integrate your own optimizer 🧠
