    There is no option to download the app directly. Clicking 'Get Started' redirects users to a login page requiring an account. This defeats the purpose—why should an open-source, self-hosted application require account creation just to access the download page? Sorry but I get some help from AI to improve my english otherwise I lack of the fluently tell my problem...

Will let you sign in with Google (for better or for worse). Wasn't very impressed on 1st spin. Response was verbose, line-by-line typing-ish, and included no image like AyeSoul has.

What is Apertus?

As a fully open language model, Apertus allows researchers, professionals and enthusiasts to build upon the model and adapt it to their specific needs, as well as to inspect any part of the training process. This distinguishes Apertus from models that make only selected components accessible.

Trained on 15 trillion tokens across more than 1,000 languages – 40% of the data is non-English – Apertus includes many languages that have so far been underrepresented in LLMs, such as Swiss German, Romansh, and many others.

AI researchers, professionals, and experienced enthusiasts can either access the model through the strategic partner Swisscom or download it from Hugging Face – a platform for AI models and applications – and deploy it for their own projects. Apertus is freely available in two sizes – featuring 8 billion and 70 billion parameters, the smaller model being more appropriate for individual usage. Both models are released under a permissive open-source license, allowing use in education and research as well as broad societal and commercial applications.
