About the initiative

Description of the initiative

Provide an approved DFO internal LLM as a service in a PBMM environment. After our team performed a year-long pilot project providing an unclassified internal GenAI models for 14 teams to develop their custom chatbots, we have collected feedback and identified gaps in the availability of GenAI at DFO. One of the biggest gaps was the need for a secure model to be used with private or classified data. Our cloud platform is certified up to PBMM, so we are working to identify, deploy and approve an internal large language model (LLM), as well as make it available to DFO users through API. IT security team is involved in helping us secure and certify the model for use at DFO.
