This summer, EPFL and ETH Zurich will release a large language model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure. Trained on the Alps supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS), the new LLM marks a milestone in open-source AI and multilingual excellence.This summer, EPFL and ETH Zurich will release a large language model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure.

Conventional robots, like those used in industry and hazardous environments, are easy to model and control, but are too rigid to operate in confined spaces and uneven terrain. Soft, bio-inspired robots are far better at adapting to their environments and maneuvering in otherwise inaccessible places.Conventional robots, like those used in industry and hazardous environments, are easy to model and control, but are too rigid to operate in confined spaces and uneven terrain.

ChatGPT works by analyzing vast amounts of text, identifying patterns and synthesizing them to generate responses to users’ prompts. Color metaphors like “feeling blue” and “seeing red” are commonplace throughout the English language, and therefore comprise part of the dataset on which ChatGPT is trained.ChatGPT works by analyzing vast amounts of text, identifying patterns and synthesizing them to generate responses to users’ prompts.

The latest generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 and Google’s Gemini 2.5 require not only high memory bandwidth but also large memory capacity. This is why generative AI cloud operating companies like Microsoft and Google purchase hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs.The latest generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 and Google’s Gemini 2.5 require not only high memory bandwidth but also large memory capacity.
