boccaccioAI - 100% Italian LLM
A 100% Italian 700M LLM built entirely from scratch.
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!
Hi Product Hunt!
I’m Lorenzo, founder of De Lauretis Tech, and today we’re incredibly excited to share boccaccioAI with you.
Most LLMs today are fine-tuned versions of English-centric models. We wanted to see if we could build a truly independent, sovereign Italian LLM completely from scratch, and we did.
What makes boccaccioAI unique:
- 100% Custom: Custom tokenizer, custom architecture, and custom weights trained from a random initialization purely on Italian data. No third-party pre-training.
- 700M Parameters: It's small, lightweight, and runs on serverless GPUs (which spin up on-demand; expect a ~20s cold start on your first prompt!).
- The "Elementary School" Phase: Since it's small, it will hallucinate facts (it's still learning about the world!), but pay attention to its flawless Italian grammar, natural syntax, and flow. The foundation is solid.
What’s next?
This 700M model is our proof of concept. We are already preparing the training pipeline for a 7B parameter model to bring true factual knowledge, reasoning, and depth to Italian AI.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions. Give it a spin and let us know what you think of the generation quality! Obviously, you will have to write in Italian 😄
