Profile note
The commercial host for Apertus and the main sovereign inference route for Swiss enterprises — a majority state-owned telco operating Swiss-sited managed inference endpoints. Trains no models of its own; it is the distribution layer for the Swiss AI Initiative's output. Pricing is the notable gap: despite being the flagship sovereign offering, no public per-token rate card could be found.
