With the “Efficient Language Model for On-Device Deployment” (ELMOD-2.7B), Fraunhofer IIS is releasing a compact large language model (LLM) optimized for German, specifically designed for use in resource-constrained environments. Now available on open-source platform Hugging Face, it addresses key challenges such as infrastructure cost, cloud dependency, and data privacy.
Fraunhofer contributes to the AES Technical Committee’s “Perceptual Audio Coders: What To Listen For” tutorial
Classical training material has been reworked into a contemporary tutorial to help everyone involved in audio coding identify coding artifacts.
