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

The strongest model lab in the segment and arguably the most consequential in the Balkans: it produces the national Bulgarian LLM (BgGPT) AND the leading Ukrainian one (MamayLM), plus robotics VLAs — and co-leads the EUR 90M BRAIN++ AI Factory. Founded by Prof. Martin Vechev with ETH Zurich/EPFL partnership. Crucial licence caveat: everything is Gemma-derived, so weights are 'open' but carry Google's Gemma Terms of Use, not Apache/MIT. There is NO commercial API and no price list — access is free weights plus a free hosted chat.
