On September 30, 2025, Valéry Trân Thiên, MA, from the Semantics and Computational Linguistics Team at ISS PAS represented the HIVE AI consortium during the Synerise Cup 2025 – the jubilee national championships for schools and kindergartens in chess. At the Ministry of Digital Affairs of Poland booth, he answered visitors’ questions about artificial intelligence and Polish Large Language Models (PLLuM). Every visitor to the booth could converse with the PLLuM generative model. Testers evaluated the knowledge of the Polish generative model, including its understanding of chess.
In 2024, the Semantics and Computational Linguistics Team of the Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, participated in the PLLuM project (“Responsible development of an open large language model PLLuM [Polish Large Language Universal Model] to support breakthrough technologies in the public and economic sectors, including an open, Polish-language intelligent citizen assistant”), funded by the Ministry of Digital Affairs of Poland. The result of this work is the PLLuM family of generative models in base, chat, instruct, and non-commerce versions.
In 2025, the developed PLLuM models are being further developed and implemented in mObywatel (the Polish digital ID app) and selected offices of state administration within a new project called HIVE AI (“HIVE AI: Development and pilot implementation of large language models in Polish public administration”), funded by the Ministry of Digital Affairs of Poland. Stands/kiosks operated by the Ministry of Digital Affairs at important national and international events are part of a larger promotion of the PLLuM family of Polish generative models.
