In response to my question on #openhardware and alternatives to CUDA, he hopes that #OpenCL will rise to the challenge of demanding 64-bit+ models rather than the current focus on 4-bit quantized builds that are insufficient for HPC science.

How much power does 3 month of training #Apertus on the most powerful open research cloud-native supercomputer in Europe?
⚡️About the same as raising 5 people to adulthood, or 50% peak (10MW) of a locomotive. Keep industrial power usage in perspective, and acknowledge the efforts into climate neutrality, asks Joost VandeVondele - who aims to scale up the infrastructure to support thousands of AI experiments and hundreds of SMEs in the future at #CSCS

#Switzerland launches transparent #ChatGPT alternative
#Apertus: A fully #opensource, transparent, multilingual language model
The Apertus #LLM is comparable to Meta’s #Llama3 model from 2024
The development of the #largelanguagemodel (#LLM) and the research into other domain-specific foundation models is funded by an investment of over 10 million GPU hours on the “#Alps” #Supercomputer by #CSCS, and by the ETH Board

Meet #Apertus a #LLM from #Switzerland developed by #EPFL, #ETH and #CSCS. It's fully #opensource and trained in #alps
Here some facts about it:
* trained with 15 trillion tokens
* 1'000 languages supported
* maximum 70 billion parameters
* Trained on 4'096 GPU's for over 3 months
* Trained by respecting Swiss data protection laws, Swiss copyright laws, and the transparency obligations under the EU AI ActI will definitely give it a try.

I recently visited the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre ( #CSCS )in Lugano.
Now #ETH and #EPFL have publicly announced that they are training an #LLM on "Alps" supercomputing. The best part is that they are doing it #OpenSource
"Alps" will compute at 0.435 * 10^18 FLOPS. This means that "Alps" can calculate more in one day than a modern laptop in 2025 could calculate in 40,000 years. Amazing!

Staggered into different Facebook page albums, these photos, taken on the sidelines after each awardee got off stage, are categorized under “Gawad Agham 2024 - Edited” (as opposed to Unedited and Others).

🥇 SHINING MEDAL IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The CSCS Student Government finally released its collection of photos taken from our college’s recognition event earlier this month.

Das in #Bayern nun #Spielplätze gebaut werden um #CSCs zu verhindern war vorher schon klar.
Immerhin tut man den Kindern was gutes. Schade nur, dass die Bayern das nicht für die #Kinder tun, sondern nur aus #Intoleranz, #Verblendung und (ungerechtfertigter) #Angst.
Ich wette damit wird Bayern das Bundesland mit der höchsten Spielplatzdichte.

@isazi right, thanks, I am just curious who currently uses them.
E.g. I work with #CSCS in #Lugano and major notable customers are #meteosuisse , #WLCG (#particlephysics). I specifically work for #CTA and #SKA astronomical observatories, but their use is not yet substantial.There any many others too, I am not totally sure about relative use. E.g. #climate modelling is of course a very interesting case
Or is it a large number of small customers?

Turns out the #KMT still feels it is in charge of #crossstraight policies and #Taiwan's #foreignpolicy.
And it abuses the Crossstrait CEO Summit #CSCS to push its agenda: more direct flights between #China and Taiwan, more investment of TW enterprises in China.
This frog clearly feels at ease in hot water - and does not realize it's supposed to get cooked and eaten. United Front, anyone?
