Dear all,

We’re approaching the end of 2021. And what a year it has been! More than 900 researchers in academia and industry from more than 60 different countries have joined BigScience. 30 active Working Groups are studying and investigating different aspects around large multilingual datasets and large multilingual language models. It has been an incredible journey so far, thank you all for being part of this open science collaboration! In this last BigScience Newsletter Episode #13 (special edition) we’ll take a look back to how everything started and recap what we’ve worked on and accomplished so far.
