boccaccioAI is a 100% Italian LLM with 700M parameters, built entirely from scratch by De Lauretis Tech. No pre-trained weights, no external wrappers, just a custom tokenizer, architecture, and weights trained on Italian text. Think of it as an elementary school child: it might hallucinate details, but its grammar, syntax, and flow are flawlessly Italian. A proof-of-concept proving that sovereign LLMs are possible at scale. Running on on-demand serverless GPUs. Try it now, using italian :D!

the idea of actually training a small model from scratch on just italian is honestly pretty cool, love that the creators are open about where it stumbles

@bedirhantrgk I appreciate that. Transparency is key for this stage, as this is essentially a linguistic proof of concept. Knowing that this custom foundation works gives us the confidence we need to push forward and start scaling the training.
