Description
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), together with its Austrian Archaeological Institute, partnered with Mistral and services partner Reply to build Apollo, described as the first advanced large language model for Ancient Greek. Apollo is trained on a specialized corpus of 600 million words of historical Greek text plus tens of thousands of published inscriptions and papyri, helping researchers reconstruct damaged texts and identify thematic connections across collections. The OeAW reports Apollo turns work that once took years into hours, addressing over one million unread Greek papyri worldwide, with future phases planned for semantic search and handwritten inscription decipherment.
