🇨🇭 Switzerland is taking a public-interest-first approach to LLMs. EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS are building a fully open, multilingual language model trained on public infrastructure, and they’re releasing it under Apache 2.0 this summer. This one isn’t just open weights. It’s 100% transparent: source, data, training methods. And trained on 15T tokens across 1,500+ languages using a carbon-neutral supercomputer (Alps), it’s a real shot at sovereign AI that serves scientific, civic, and commercial needs without the lock-in.

TL;DR
🌍 Fluency in 1,000+ languages
🧠 Open 8B and 70B param models
⚡ Alps supercomputer, 100% green
🔓 Fully open: data, code, weights
