Apertus Mini
A set of 16 small language models released to demonstrate distillation and quantization techniques.
瑞士AI倡议(EPFL、苏黎世联邦理工学院、CSCS合作)推出完全开放的基础模型Apertus,公开训练数据、代码、权重、方法和对齐原则。模型符合欧盟AI法案要求,支持1000+种语言,提供8B和70B参数版本。同时发布Apertus Mini,含16个小模型用于演示知识蒸馏与量化技术。技术报告已被ACL 2026接收。针对提契诺州微调的版本已用于内部AI翻译。瑞士电信为战略合作伙伴。
Developed by the Swiss AI Initiative as a collaborative effort between EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS. Open weights, open data, open science.
Training data, code, weights, methods, and alignment principles — all documented and reproducible. Apertus is to AI as Open is to Source.
Built to meet EU AI Act requirements: the model respects opt-outs, removes PII, prevents memorization. A global foundation to build on.
Competitive with top open models at an equivalent scale of 8B and 70B parameters. Multilingual from day one — trained on 1000+ languages.
Swisscom is a Strategic Partner of the Swiss AI Initiative.
