Headquarters evidence

Occiglot is an ongoing research collective for open-source language models for and by Europe. We are not an official research project but an informal community of motivated individuals.

Occiglot's own About page states it is an informal community of individuals rather than an official project or legal entity. A headquarters is structurally not applicable to such a collective, so the consortium/collective scope is used rather than an unknown-HQ verdict. No country or city is asserted.

Evidence boundaries

Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. 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 grassroots counterpart to the funded consortia: an open, membership-free European research collective (DFKI, hessian.AI, TU Darmstadt, KU Leuven, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and individual contributors) aiming at coherent language modelling across all 24 official EU languages plus regional languages. Named from 'Occident'. Its 2024 EU5 models were the first credible open multi-EU-language 7B family. Momentum since 2024 has been modest relative to the funded consortia; treat as a community/talent layer rather than a frontier producer. Cross-reference the DACH segment — its institutiona…
