I think the fine tuning, and model specialization here is really what is interesting.
But this should be achievable with open models that are more ethical like #swissai #apertus 1.5

🎉🤖 Behold, the Swiss AI Initiative's latest brainchild: a "sovereign" AI so open it practically begs you to take it to prom! 🤔 This "cutting-edge" project with overhyped transparency claims is basically the Swiss Army Knife of AI models, except nobody asked for it. 🧀✨

Swiss AI tech reduces data center needs for powerful AI
Are AI data centers still needed, or have the Swiss punched holes in them?
By Malcolm Azania, January 02, 2026
EPFL’s Anyway Systems software offers a local alternative to remote power-hungry data centers. DepositphotosWhat’s not to love about giant AI data centers?
I mean, of course, other than electronic waste, massive use of water (especially in arid regions), reliance on destructive and human rights-abusing mining to extract rare elements, and sucking electricity from dirty energy sources?
Yeah, but how else are you going to get all those amazing Studio Ghibli replicant pictures, those awesome AI-only albums, or AI “retro” videos of The Avengers“recast” with AI Paul Newman and AI Robert Redford? They’re not gonna make themselves! And least not without those giant AI data centers.
But more seriously, because AI offers enormous benefits for medical diagnoses and treatments and addressing climate change, how do we reap the benefits without paying the terrible price?
Turns out the Swiss may have punched holes in the entire AI data center industry and many of the problems it causes. At Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), a major technology and public research university, researchers have created software they’re now selling through their own company that takes out the middle-man of “Big Cloud.”
Now, thanks to EPFL researchers Gauthier Voron, Geovani Rizk, and Rachid Guerraoui in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, we have a much better option for AI. Instead of sending our processing needs to remote servers for “inference” (AI production of predictions and conclusions that currently expends 80 to 90% of all AI-computing power), you’ll be able to download Anyway Systems to your desktop. There, Anyway downloads open-source AI models such as ChatGPT in minutes, so you can ask questions globally, but process locally.
“For years,” says DCL head Rachid Guerraoui, “people have believed that it’s not possible to have large language models and AI tools without huge resources, and that data privacy, sovereignty and sustainability were just victims of this, but this is not the case. Smarter, frugal approaches are possible.”
Instead of using warehouse-bound arrays of servers resembling dark, dystopian cities of endless, identical skyscrapers, Anyway Systems distributes processing on a local network – in the above case with ChatGPT-120B, requiring a maximum of four computers – robustly self-stabilizing for optimal use of local hardware. Guerraoui says that while Anyway Systems is ideal for inference, it may be a bit slower responding to prompts, and “it’s just as accurate.”
Who needs a massive Death Star when all you need is a few small X-wing fighters to compete?
Even better, installation takes as little as 30 minutes, and because processing is local, users keep their private data private, and companies, unions, NGOs, and countries keep their data sovereign, and away from the clutches (and “ethics”) of Big Data.
This graphic illustrates the basic principle at work behind Anyway SystemsWhile home users would need more than a single computer to form the local network needed to operate Anyway Systems, the history of increased speed and capacity, and decreased size of hardware, means that the Swiss option may soon be more widely available. “We will be able to do everything locally in terms of AI,” says Guerraoui. “We could download our open-source AI of choice, contextualize it to our needs, and we, not Big Tech, could be the master of all the pieces.”
But doesn’t Google’s AI Edge already offer such abilities on a single phone?
“Google AI Edge is meant to be run on mobile phones for very specific and small Google-made models with each user running a model constrained by the phone’s capacity,” counters Guerraoui. “There is no distributed computing to enable the deployment of the same large and powerful AI models that are shared by many users of the same organization in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner. The Anyway System can handle hundreds of billion parameters with just a few GPUs.”

Big News! The completely #opensource #LLM #Apertus 🇨🇭 has been released today:
📰 https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/news/2025/09/02-apertus.html
🤝 The model supports over 1000 languages [EDIT: an earlier version claimed over 1800] and respects opt-out consent of data owners.
▶ This is great for #publicAI and #transparentAI. If you want to test it for yourself, head over to: https://publicai.co/
🤗 And if you want to download weights, datasets & FULL TRAINING DETAILS, you can find them here:
https://huggingface.co/collections/swiss-ai/apertus-llm-68b699e65415c231ace3b059🔧 Tech report: https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertus-70B-2509/blob/main/Apertus_Tech_Report.pdf
After #Teuken7b and #Olmo2, Apertus is the next big jump in capabilities and performance of #FOSS #LLMs, while also improving #epistemicresilience and #epistemicautonomy with its multilingual approach.
I believe that especially for sensitive areas like #education, #healthcare, or #academia, there is no alternative to fully open #AI models. Everybody should start building upon them and improving them.

Dieser Kommentar auf @golem von Tim Elsner - "Hingewurschtelt in Germany" - trifft viele Nägel auf den Kopf: https://www.golem.de/news/ki-aus-deutschland-hingewurschtelt-in-germany-2508-198985.html
Auch wenn ich nicht an jeder einzelnen Stelle zustimme, finde ich die Analyse der Lage richtig. Zum Beispiel: Das #Teuken #LLM ist zwar #opensource und teuer gewesen, aber unbrauchbar (im Unterschied zu #olmo2 und vielleicht bald dem #swissai Modell der ETH).
Innovative Forschung ist schon allein aufgrund des lästigen Förderwesens der Wissenschaft in Deutschland mit seinen langen Schleifen im Bereich #KI nicht zu erwarten und Projekte, die Mittel erhalten, scheinen sich auf Prüfsiegel und Vermarktung zu konzentrieren, die man auch sehr viel günstiger hätte haben können.
Natürlich wird viel zu selten nach einem Endprodukt gefragt, das einen innovativen Mehrwert liefert. Auch die Gutachter:innen lesen Abschlussberichte mit einem Übermaß an Wohlwollen, oder

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!
