The article is about Kyutai, a French AI lab with an objective to compete with chatgpt and others with full open source (research papers, models, and training data).

They are aiming to also include the capability to use sound, image, etc... (according to this article (French) https://www.clubic.com/actualite-509350-intelligence-artificielle-xavier-niel-free-et-l-ancien-pdg-de-google-lancent-kyutai-un-concurrent-europeen-a-openai.html )

The post article also talks about some French context.

It seems like their goal is not to train new LLMs, but to actually do scientific research. Large language models are such a tiny part of the whole machine learning and AI field that it's ridiculous the amount of attention they get from mass media. But people do like their stupid chatbots.
