The next generation of open LLMs should be inclusive, compliant, and multilingual by design. That’s why we @icepfl.bsky.social @ethz.ch @cscsch.bsky.social ) built Apertus.
EPFL, ETH Zurich & CSCS just released Apertus, Switzerland’s first fully open-source large language model.
Trained on 15T tokens in 1,000+ languages, it’s built for transparency, responsibility & the public good.
