Models
for future AI

Artificial intelligence today is confined to the representation of the world found in datasets. We’re building a new class of AI systems designed to gain a grounded understanding through direct interaction with the physical world.

 

 

The Research Project

Fostering a European ecosystem for research and innovation

DVPS is one of the most heavily backed projects in the Horizon Europe program, bringing together 20 leading organizations across 9 countries to advance the science and engineering of multimodal foundation models (MMFMs).

We are developing an open-source toolkit to streamline the design, pre-training, fine-tuning, and modality expansion of MMFMs. It supports the reuse and composition of pre-trained models, reducing development time and cost while enhancing adaptability across modalities.

Application Domains

Language

Enhancing how AI understands and communicates by combining speech, text, video, and gestures into inclusive, multilingual, and adaptive language technologies.

Discover the Use Cases

Health

Overcoming the limitations of traditional models by unifying diverse cardiovascular data into multimodal AI systems that enhance diagnosis, prediction, and treatment planning.

Discover the Use Cases

Environment

Empowering geo-intelligence by fusing diverse spatial, sensor, and textual data into multimodal AI systems for smarter disaster response, urban planning, and environmental forecasting.
