Download requires email. Running requires custom tools. Safety features? Non-existent. Welcome to Switzerland's "open" AI that teaches bomb-making to schoolchildren.

Breaking down the operational disaster:

  • The Access Paradox: "Open source" but needs Hugging Face account | Legal indemnification clause | Doesn't work with llama.cpp | Documentation "coming soon"
  • Context Length Crisis: Apertus: 65k tokens | Gemini 2.5 Pro: 1M tokens | Llama 4: 10M tokens | Can't even fit one annual report
  • The $50M "Reproducibility": 10M GPU-hours on GH200 chips ($3-5/hour) | 15 trillion training tokens | Nation-state budget required
  • Safety Nightmare: NO content moderation | Provides bomb instructions | Planned for SCHOOLS | Wild West once downloaded
