EUROPA Questioned as Just Another Clone Project
JJitsev · x · 2026-07-19
This post questions EUROPA, another European open-source consortium. Led by the same organizations, it is predicted to ultimately produce nothing more than a Nemotron-3-Ultra "clone," following the exact same playbook as Soofi.
Both the author and commenters stress that such exaggerated marketing misleads the public and policy discussions, damaging research integrity and creating noise. The hope is that community pushback will force these consortia to change their behavior and stop tainting "open-source research" with opacity.
