« Switzerland is not just a pool to recruit from, it is a nation to partner with, and a massive opportunity to lead »

#Apertus got a big boost this morning from a powerful appeal by Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk, Dean of EPFL School of Computer and Communication Sciences, and a keynote by Prof. Antoine Bosselut at #EPFLindustryday

Then he asked me if there is more than one AI. I love that question! I said yes. Then he asked me what AIs do I like. I said I like small models that you can run on your own compute. He wanted to know which ones. Thankfully I had just been doing research into open source AI models. I said I like the Olmo AI model which has open data and the Apertus model. He asked me if I had used them, and I said not much yet. I said I have used the Mistral model which I also like but not as much because it's data is not open (as far as I can tell).

That seemed to satisfy him for now, and he turned over to sleep.

I love how kids can ask challenging questions. It forces me to examine why I believe what I do. I am grateful for that.
