Provision of Canadian Large Language Model (LLM) for Inference

Tender details

The National Research Council Canada seeks a provider to develop and deploy a Large Language Model (LLM) within its Azure Cloud infrastructure. The LLM must operate locally, ensuring data sovereignty and security, with no data exfiltration. It should meet industry benchmarks and be built from scratch, not merely fine-tuned from existing models. This project is crucial for advancing secure AI capabilities in Canada, supporting innovation while safeguarding sensitive information. Bidders should be prepared for licensing and installation support.
