A language model built for the public good
ethz.ch
ETH Zurich and EPFL will release a large language model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure. Trained on the “Alps” supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), the new LLM marks a milestone in open-source AI and multilingual excellence.

In brief

  • In late summer 2025, a publicly developed large language model (LLM) will be released — co-created by researchers at EPFL, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS).

  • This LLM will be fully open: This openness is designed to support broad adoption and foster innovation across science, society, and industry.

  • A defining feature of the model is its multilingual fluency in over 1,000 languages.

    More open models are good! Granite needs a competitor.

    I do hope they try an ‘exotic’ architecture. It doesn’t have to be novel; another bitnet or Jamba/Falcon hybrid model would be sick. Is there anywhere I can submit suggestions, heh.
