Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
LUMI is the compute substrate for a startling share of Europe's open-weight models — Poro, Viking, Poro 2 and Latvia's TildeOpen-30B were all trained there. It matters to this directory not as a model vendor but as the reason small Nordic/Baltic languages have frontier-ish models at all: the European Commission's Large AI Grand Challenge handed Tilde 2 million LUMI GPU-hours, and CSC allocations underwrite the Finnish models. No per-token pricing exists; access is by grant.
