Our team builds products and organizes advocacy to support the work of public AI model builders like the Swiss AI Initiative, AI Singapore, AI Sweden, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. We believe in public AI—AI as public infrastructure like highways, water, or electricity. Think of a BBC for AI, a public utility for AI, or public libraries for AI.
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.
The Swiss AI Initiative is operated by SNAI and the largest open science/open source effort for AI foundation models worldwide.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)-led multi-stakeholder initiative on Open-Source Generative AI for Public Services aims to develop an end-to-end, open-source implementation framework that enables public sector stakeholders to easily build and deploy their own GenAI solutions using modular, open-source software blueprints.
Europe's first public, open and multilingual AI infrastructure
Making Generative AI Models Accessible

The OSAID offers a standard by which community-led, open and public evaluations will be conducted to validate whether or not an AI system can be deemed Open Source AI.
