Fastwebai, the first Made in Italy platform of artificial intelligence for companies was born
The new Suite of Fastweb + Vodafone presented, which is based on a model trained in Italian. Walter Renna, CEO of the group: « We aim for small but specialized models on specific tasks, which serve the world of the company. We can also go beyond chatgpt «
The game of artificial intelligence is far from lost, for Europe and Italy. Indeed, you still have to play it. « And we should not believe those who support the opposite », warns Luciano Floridi, the philosopher of Oxford, Italian Storytelling champion on digital. The ball in the center put it Fastweb + Vodafoneand even the kick -off was beaten in Rome, with the Presentation of the Fastwebai Suite for Companies and Public Administrationbased on the Miia company model. In fact, it is the first service ecosystem to the owner launched by a telco in Italy. The brand born from the acquisition of last January He has a 7 billion turnover and « in Italy », in the words of Walter Renna, CEO of the group, « we invest a billion euros every year ». A strategic and innovation position that from the idea – set up starting from 2020 – passes to the presentation of a complete package of ai generative for the company, based precisely on A model trained in Italian and completely adherent to both national and European rules entrusted to the Acts. A strong point that, in fact, puts the ball back to the center.
The introduction to the day is in the hands of Renna, which shows – starting from the recent warning of Dragons on the delays of the continent – as the current situation sees the total of the computational power worldwide divided into the two well -known blocks: 50-60% reside in the United States, 30-40 in China. The crumbs remain to Europe, but even in the percentage – at the moment – scarce, Italy with Cineca plays a central roleas confirmed by President Francesco Ubertini. « We need to rebalance the situation, » warns Renna. « And the first step to do it are solid infrastructure. » Starting from A cloud to the so -called « sovereign »where companies can make their data reside with the certainty of where they are and how they are processed. The solutions that make up Fastwebai Suite are end-to-end and they are based precisely on infrastructures residing in Italy It is an artificial intelligence platform that integrates genai and the agentics – software with a certain degree of autonomy – which precisely guarantee data protection. All this, Fastweb + Vodafone tells, thanks to the data center on the national territory, to the Operating Superpod machine since last Julyto the Fastwebmiia linguistic model – natively trained in Italian, on the basis of certified data, coming from Mondadori and Istat for example – and cloud platforms, edge computing and cybersecurity designed to guarantee maximum security and total compliance with the European regulation, privacy regulations and copyright. The suite approach is that of « SEE OF THE DATA »which therefore remain confined to the specific areas of application for which the solutions are developed, without any reuse or exposure to external contexts.
The strategy is therefore that of a model built in compliance with the laws and culture where it is born, as well as – and this is a non -trivial point – trained in the local language. To understand each other, some discussion number: Openii chatgpt is trained on 700 billion parameters, the Chinese Deepseek 670. Does Italian go? Seven billion. « Can we be competitive? No, now no. But if we gradually lay our model, we can get to have many small but specialized models. And on specific task, those that serve the world of the company, we can not only be at the level of chatgpt but also go further ». The Fastwebai Suite – available from today – includes Fastwebai Worka platform designed to optimize the work of the employees of an organization that integrates a chatbot interface for the generation of immediate responses, an assistant to to optimize interactions via chat, facilitating collaboration, and a tool for the analysis of documents, the translation of texts and the generation of images. Fastwebai Agents Instead, it is the platform that allows technical teams to create and automate specific processes, thanks to « agents » designed to solve projects/problems independently.
The conclusion exploits the emotional load brought by the historic Fastweb testimonial, Jannick Sinner. While the images of the Victory Point of the Australian Open of last year flow on the screen, Renna wonders: «Who would have said that an Italian tennis player could become the number one in the world?». The game is still to be played.
