I am curious if the models are any good, though. The landscape is so fragmented I never heard of Poro.

Poro (reindeer in finnish) is specifically developed to be used in Finnish. GPT etc. general models struggle with less used languages. Unfortunately this sale likely means this development will cease.

Gpt4 or even 3.5 is quite good at Finnish. Was there ever a benchmark against closed source models?

Reindeer is a great name, and gives me an idea - next time I create an Azure OpenAI resource (depending on model availability and data residency requirements, sometimes you need to create more than one) I'm going to start going through Santa's reindeer names.
