AI is impacting our lives in every area, namely in healthcare.

In January 2026, RTP released news on the gradual adoption of AI across various areas of everyday life, with particular emphasis on healthcare, focusing particularly on medical diagnosis. 

As part of a broader coverage on AI real-world impact, it was featured EUROLLM-22B, which is being developed in the SARDINE Lab. It is a project led by our researcher André Martins, a specialist in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence.

EuroLLM-22B is the most powerful model in the EuroLLM family, following earlier releases at 1.7B and 9B parameters.

André Martins says, "with this parameters, it is one of the biggest open models of Europe."

The model is designed to support all 24 official European Union languages, reinforcing Europe’s commitment to multilingual, open, and sovereign artificial intelligence.

Trained from scratch on the MareNostrum 5 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the model delivers competitive performance, and in some cases, superior performance to global models of similar size on multilingual tasks. By focusing on Europe’s linguistic diversity rather than adapting English-centric systems, EuroLLM-22B sets a new standard for multilingual language models built specifically for European realities.
