Reviewed identity, roles, model listings, pricing and evidence for LumiOpen.
Dataset compiled 2026-08-27 · evidence over inference
Reviewed identity
- Headquarters scope
- EU headquarters
- Headquarters record
- Turku / Helsinki
- Legal entity
- no separate legal entity; a collaboration between the TurkuNLP group (University of Turku), SiloGen / Silo AI (now AMD Silo AI), HPLT and CSC – IT Center for Science
- Ownership
- public research + industry. Silo AI was acquired by AMD (US) in 2024 for USD 665M, so the industrial partner is now a subsidiary of a US company — a genuine sovereignty asterisk on this entry.

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
Proof that the EuroHPC compute-grant model actually produces models. Poro and Viking were trained end-to-end on LUMI with CSC-provided allocations and HPLT data, and established the low-resource co-training recipe now reused across the European stack. The people involved (Peter Sarlin, TurkuNLP) are also central to OpenEuroLLM. Sovereignty caveat: since AMD's 2024 acquisition of Silo AI the main industrial partner is US-owned.
