Profile note
The definitive open Greek-language model lab: 49 models on HuggingFace under the tagline 'Building open LLMs for the Greek language and culture'. Licence split matters — Meltemi is Apache-2.0 (fully permissive), while the newer and better Llama-Krikri inherits the Llama 3.1 Community Licence and its restrictions. State clearly in the directory that there is no commercial API and no pricing: this is public research output.
