EuroLLM-9B
Apache-2.0 open 9B model covering all 24 EU official languages plus 11 more.
About
A European research consortium (Unbabel, Instituto Superior Técnico, Edinburgh, and others) built EuroLLM-9B specifically because mainstream open models underserve European languages. It covers all 24 official EU languages plus 11 more, ships base and instruct variants under Apache 2.0, and the team also open-released its EuroFilter data-curation pipeline.
It is a 2024-era 9B model, so it won't match 2025 frontier models on reasoning or code — its value is multilingual coverage and full research transparency, not raw capability.
