Its fully open and anybody wanting to use it can have a go on Hugging Face and soon there will be API and chat access via Public AI. Let me share my thinking why Apertus, a large model...

Since hosting models locally with tools like Ollama, GPT4All or OpenLLM locally is an quite an easy fix, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Building and tuning models under your control.
