FAQ
Which Swiss AI Initiative models can I deploy on sference?
2 today, most requested first: Apertus-8B-Instruct-2509 and Apertus-70B-Instruct-2509. Any other Swiss AI Initiative checkpoint or a fine-tune of one can be requested with the form on this page.
How many GPUs do Swiss AI Initiative models need?
It depends on the model: the lineup runs from 8.1B to 71B parameters. Each model page lists the checkpoint size and the minimum footprint on 80 GB and 141 GB GPUs. You don't pick hardware on sference: you choose a performance tier and we size the deployment.
Can I use Swiss AI Initiative models commercially?
2 of the 2 listed models are under licenses that allow commercial use (Apache 2.0 across the lineup). Each model page summarizes its license and links the full text.
How is a dedicated deployment priced?
Per GPU-hour on a monthly commitment, sized to your throughput and latency targets.
