LapaLLM and MamayLM — advanced LLMs trained for Ukrainian 🇺🇦

UNLP recommends: When building AI for Ukrainian, choose models that capture both the language and the culture behind it!

🔥 Why use Ukrainian-centric LLMs? Both LapaLLM and MamayLM offer:
👉Cost-efficiency
👉Cultural and linguistic alignment
👉Strong performance across a broad range of tasks

Haven’t tested the models yet? Check out our call for papers for inspiration 😉

🇺🇦 One shared task. Three domains.

The shared task data comes from places where “close enough” isn’t enough:
⚽ 1st domain — where rules decide outcomes
💊 2nd domain — where the smallest error can cost you life
🤫 3rd domain? secret for now!
