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 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.

According to the article, they've even addressed my environmental concerns. Since it's created by universities, I don't think we'll even have this shoved down our throats all the time.

I doubt whether it will be more useful than any other general LLM so far but hate it? Nah.
