Switzerland launches its own open-source AI model
Switzerland has just released Apertus, its open-source national Large Language Model (LLM) that it hopes would be an alternative to models offered by companies like OpenAI.
They built Apertus to comply with Swiss data protection and copyright laws, which makes it perhaps one of the better choices for companies that want to adhere to European regulations.

To note, AI companies like Perplexity have previously been accused of scraping websites and bypassing protocols meant to block their crawlers.
