Make LLMs Fly: Accelerating Bielik With NVIDIA Minitron and Data Curator

Join NVIDIA and the Bielik team to discover how sovereign AI initiatives can deliver faster, more efficient language models for local and European languages. This session showcases Bielik-Minitron-7B-v3.0-Instruct, a Polish-optimized 7B-class model compressed from Bielik-11B using a Minitron-inspired workflow and powered by NVIDIA Model Optimizer and NVIDIA NeMo. We'll walk through the complete optimization pipeline: data setup, structured pruning, logit-based knowledge distillation, fine-tuning, post-training alignment, and evaluation. The session closes with Q&A and hands-on references to help developers build and optimize their own sovereign AI models on NVIDIA's stack.
