Austrian Academy releases Apollo, an advanced large language model for Ancient Greek
The Austrian Academy of Science, with French AI lab Mistral and Sail Reply, has released Apollo, a large language model trained on roughly 600 million historical Ancient Greek words from manuscripts, papyri, and inscriptions; it will be offered free to academics via a chatbot to help identify relevant fragments and suggest plausible restorations of damaged texts. The model proposes multiple word options for scholars to choose from to avoid automatic alterations of the historical record.
