"While the rest of the world is racing to build ever-growing LLMs based on a bigger-is-better approach, we believe the next leap forward in AI will come from making models smaller, local, and human-centric. The future of AI won't be won by size, but by decentralised models that anyone can run on their own devices,"
"Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm backgroud is as an award-winning artist, technologist and AI founder working at the intersection of machine learning, human-machine interaction and ethical AI. She has been exploring and building with artificial intelligence, especially LLMs and GPT-based systems, since 2016, years before the current wave of generative AI. Her work has received major international recognition: she is a two-time Lumen Prize winner (2017, 2021) and received an Honorary Mention from Prix Ars Electronica (2023)."
NobodyWho, a Copenhagen-based open-source startup, raised €2 million in pre-seed funding to promote Small Language Models (SLMs) as a cost-efficient, secure, and sustainable alternative to large cloud LLMs. The funding is backed by Nordic early-stage funds PSV Tech, The Footprint Firm, and Norrsken Evolve. The company emphasizes decentralised, on-device models to enhance data security, reduce costs and environmental impact, and enable broader access. Founder Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm brings experience in machine learning, human-machine interaction and local LLM edge computing, with international recognition for AI artworks and long-term work on GPT-based systems since 2016.
