Apertus, shines in the light: In this workshop we explore and discuss multiple research and use-cases of Apertus. Two Swisscom/EPFL master student thesis have worked on the safety and benchmarking of the Apertus model with the titles: "A Modular Red-Teaming Pipeline for Evaluating LLM Safety” and "LLM Benchmarking:​ Robustness to Paraphrasing”. Three selected hackathon teams present their solutions form the Swiss {ai} Weeks hackathons in Geneva and.Zürich. Together with you we want to explore what next research and development models will lift up Apertus to the next level.
