Apertus was developed with due consideration to Swiss data protection laws, Swiss copyright laws, and the transparency obligations under the EU AI Act. Particular attention has been paid to data integrity and ethical standards: the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available. It is filtered to respect machine-readable opt-out requests from websites, even retroactively, and to remove personal data, and other undesired content before training begins.
I'd bet my lunch this internal LLM is a trained open weight model, which has lots of public data in it. Not complaining about what your company has done, as I think that makes sense, just providing a counterpoint.
Yea this is the thing that gets me. My understanding was he invented something to improve optics, and patented it. It wasn't like he made some paint that nobody could use. Am I wrong?
VaultWarden has contributors working on paid BitWarden features. For instance I've been following the LDAP PR for a while now. If they pull users away, they may have users who are unaware when those features release.
That being said, I won't complain when for-profit companies based on FOSS support self-hosters. It's good for the industry.
Edit:
This is why I won't switch to it, though:
My homelab only has one home to phone, and it's not someone else's home.
Read what the new CEO says, and it doesn't seem as bad. In the interview, he states that they'll be adding AI with options, and since they're not beholden to any one company, the user can choose what is best for them.
My guess: A sidebar chat you can disable, which allows you to pick your provider, and an about:config that let's you customize the URL for local AI.
Would I rather time be devoted elsewhere? Yes. Would this be horrible? Nah.
I always find this amusing. When people say things like "Get it together, Country!" or ,"What's going on with Country?", the country becomes this amorphous thing vs a culmination of it's population.
Other fun ideas: fried eggs with lima beams and tumeric. All in the pan together, the beans will merge into the egg whites and get a bit crispy if done right.
Bean curries are always a winner.
And don't forget garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and lentils!
I just realized I had forgotten about drive letters altogether.
