The multilingual capabilities of BLOOM represented a major advance in inclusive AI development. Previous large language models had been primarily trained on English text, leading to biases and limitations when applied to other languages. BLOOM's training on 46 languages helped to address these biases and made the model more useful for researchers and users worldwide. The model's ability to work across multiple languages also made it a valuable tool for cross-lingual research and applications.
