Apertus v1.1 0.5B Instruct

Model family: Apertus
Apertus-v1.1-0.5B-Instruct is part of the Apertus-v1.1 family of compact 0.5-4B parameter models created via pre-training distillation from the Apertus-8B-2509 teacher using a 90%/10% KL-Divergence and label cross-entropy mix. The architecture is a dense transformer decoder with grouped-query attention, xIELU activation, 20 layers, 1024 model dimension, 16/4 Q/KV heads, and 0.4B active parameters. Trained on 1.7T tokens using the AdEMAMix optimizer with a WSD schedule. Sequence handling packs documents into 4096-token chunks with cross-document attention masking. Training used 64 GH200 GPUs with 0.2E22 FLOPs. Quantization-aware distillation variants are available in FP8, NVFP4A16, INT3, INT4, and INT6 formats, targeting mobile and edge deployments. Data collection respects opt-out consent from data owners. Fully open: weights, training data scripts, and training recipes are all publicly released.

Overview

Apertus-v1.1-0.5B-Instruct is a 0.5B parameter multilingual instruction-tuned language model built via pre-training distillation from an 8B teacher model. Supports 1811 natively integrated languages on a dense transformer with grouped-query attention and xIELU activation. Apache 2.0 licensed with fully open weights, data, and training details.

About Swiss AI Initiative

The Swiss AI Initiative is the world's largest open science/open source effort for AI foundation models, started in December 2023. Seeded with over 10M GPU hours on the Alps supercomputer and a 20M CHF grant from the ETH Domain, it is the first initiative of the Swiss National AI Instituteโ€”a partnership between the ETH AI Center and the EPFL AI Centerโ€”leveraging 800+ researchers (70 AI-focused professors) from 10+ Swiss academic institutions.
