Ukraine plans to create its own large language model (LLM), which is designed to strengthen the state’s digital independence and develop national artificial intelligence technologies.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine has announced the start of development of a national large language model (LLM), which will become the basis for creating Ukrainian AI services, improving natural language processing, and developing other IT technologies. According to the source — itc.ua — the launch of the project is scheduled for the end of 2025, demonstrating the country’s aspiration for digital sovereignty and technological progress.
The National LLM will have a wide range of applications: from automatic translation and content creation to intelligent assistants and support in the field of cybersecurity. Officials at the Ministry of Digital Affairs emphasize that the model will be adapted specifically to the Ukrainian language and culture, which will allow not only to improve the quality of localized products, but also to strengthen Ukraine’s position in the global AI market.
In the context of global digital transformation and the increasing role of artificial intelligence on the world stage, the national LLM will become a powerful tool to support Ukraine’s national sovereignty in the field of information technologies. This project demonstrates the country’s aspiration for independence in the technological sphere, and also serves as a response to modern challenges of security and competitiveness in the global IT market.
The development of a national model requires significant resources and deep technical knowledge, so the Ministry of Digital Affairs is already establishing partnerships with leading Ukrainian IT companies and research centers. In addition, the project involves active interaction with international experts and the adaptation of best practices in artificial intelligence.
Experts believe that having its own LLM will help Ukraine not only create higher-quality products, but also ensure national security in the digital space, as dependence on foreign technologies often carries risks in the context of political and economic challenges.
The project also aims to increase the level of AI education and development in Ukraine by creating tools for training, research, and support for AI startups.
Thus, the creation of a national large language model is a strategic step that combines technological development, security, and national identity. The launch in 2025 is expected to open up new opportunities for Ukrainian developers and businesses, laying the foundation for further growth of the IT industry.
We previously wrote that the Ministry of Digital Affairs announced the start of development of a Ukrainian large language model (LLM). It will be trained on Ukrainian data and will understand the national context, dialects, and terms.
