As a Norwegian I have never needed a Norwegian language model. Doing most things in Norwegian puts you at a disadvantage internationally anyways. Maybe this has value in schools, but wouldn't it just give kids more trust in relying on LLM's? My friends who work in education report that group work has become insufferable because many do not think critically and ask LLM to verify everything. I really don't see a benefit, but maybe they will find one - that is what research is for.

I am reminded that we recently concluded our experiment of forcing things to be digital on school was considered a flop. These things have a cost if we are wrong.
