| Goal | Fine-tune an Apache-2.0 7–8B model (Qwen3-8B or NorMistral-7B-warm, chosen in the pilot) for Norwegian Bokmål/Nynorsk and reliable function calling, running 4-bit on one 16 GB GPU |
| Novelty | The first open Norwegian function-calling benchmark (NO-FC), plus open Norwegian tool-calling adapters |
| Evaluation | NorEval, EuroEval, BFCL and NO-FC, compared with untouched base models. Pre-registered success criterion. |
| Ask | ≈ 275 H100 GPU-hours or a TPU equivalent (method on the compute page). This will be updated with measured pilot numbers. |
| Timeline | 12 weeks: pilot (own GPU) → scaled runs (grant) → release |
| Outputs | Open code, weights, benchmark and technical report. Negative results are published too. |
| Status | Plan done. Pilot not started. No results yet. |
