The white-tailed eagle "speaks" 56 languages. Sebastian Kondracki about the new functions of the Polish AI tool

The conversation on the RMF24 news radio began with an explanation of what the name of the new version of Bielik means - 11B v3.1.

Even though this is about artificial intelligence, I will refer to the automotive industry. 11B is a bit of engine capacity. The more these parameters, the better the models are, should be, should be more impressive and effective - said Sebastian Kondracki.

As he pointed out, 11B has 11 billion parameters. In the case of artificial intelligence, this is not a large number. We are a compact model. Large American models have thousands of times more of these parameters - explained the originator of the first Polish LLM.

Sebastian Kondracki emphasized that in its class, in terms of the number of downloads, Bielik is second in Europe. In August, this AI tool was downloaded over a million times.

56 languages

The expert spoke on Radio RMF24 about the most important news from Bielik. These include a larger number of supported languages ​​- this has increased by over 20, to 56. The new languages ​​include: Asian (Chinese, Japanese and Korean), Arabic – and Caucasian languages, e.g. Georgian.

However, as Kondracki pointed out, this does not mean that the model's capabilities will decrease in the case of Polish and other European languages.

These are not the only new things. If someone wants Bielik to just talk and respond with continuous text, that's how he responds. But if we want it to return tables, structured data, it will do it, explained the co-creator of the Polish AI tool.

Sebastian Kondracki also talked about "agent abilities". Bielik can now not only talk better and better, but also run or recommend running various external tools, he said.

How does it work in practice? If we ask about the weather, he can run an external tool that will check it and Bielik will explain it nicely, he explained.

Bielik One, i.e. the decision-making model

The originator of the Polish LLM also spoke about Bielik One on Radio RMF24.

This is a new type of so-called decision models. When we ask them for a decision, they will make it and explain it to us in detail. But sometimes we just want a decision with an indication of the probability and how certain it is. This version of Bielik is used to make simple decisions, classify emails and products, said Sebastian Kondracki.

The expert also talked about the Bielik Summit scheduled for November 26.
