Velvet AI is a family of multilingual generative artificial intelligence models developed by Almawave,[3] an Italian AI company. The Velvet models, including Velvet 14B and Velvet 2B, are foundational large language models (LLMs) designed and developed in Italy on Almawave's proprietary architecture. They were trained on the Leonardo supercomputer managed by CINECA and have been released in open-weight format.[4][5][6] The Velvet models are designed to be energy-efficient. They support multiple languages, with an emphasis on Italian.[7][8]
