Working with the brightest minds Switzerland has to offer, a new language model is being prepared. Competing with the US, EU, and recently announced China LLM, Switzerland will have its own, open-source version. It is claimed to support over 1,000 languages and offer 70 billion parameters.

The release is announced to be around late summer 2025, and if we believe this media release, the model supports over 1000 languages. It was trained on a supercomputer, «Alps», at the Swiss Supercomputer Centre.
