petlja

Petlja is a Serbian education nonprofit that has run a free, Serbian-language AI assistant for teachers on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service for three years. Coverage here centers on its classroom pilot, where roughly 250 teachers have access and 50 to 60 use the tool actively, plus its work fine-tuning an open-source model to reduce per-interaction costs of commercial AI. The reporting also touches on practical classroom uses, such as students using the assistant to 3D-print a screw no local shop stocked, and on the difficulty of sustaining such a project affordably.
