The Company
Its headquarters, ownership, and legal status are in Switzerland. That doesn't tell you where your data ends up.

A neutral comparison of sixteen providers: in-house models, aggregators, and Swiss hosting providers for open models.
Neutral and non-profit. swissAI does not recommend any products and does not maintain a ranking. An entry in the Swiss AI Landscape does not constitute an evaluation or a recommendation. As of August 11, 2026.
It's like the Swiss cross on the packaging: recipe, factory, or just the company headquarters. None of the products in the comparison meet all three criteria.
Its headquarters, ownership, and legal status are in Switzerland. That doesn't tell you where your data ends up.
Your chats are hosted on Swiss servers. That doesn't tell us anything about the model's origin.
Developed and trained in Switzerland. Rarely met; Apertus is the first open Swiss base.
The filter applies to both the cards and the table: Each card can be expanded to show information on the company's founding, certifications, references, and support, while the table presents the facts at a glance.

From public sources, last cross-checked on August 11, 2026; no providers were reviewed using a test account. Some information may now be out of date.
The answers can be found in the providers' public documents.
Data storage in Switzerland and processing in the United States are not mutually exclusive.
If the provider does not specify this, that in itself constitutes information.
The contract is what matters, not the homepage.
This is the key point for those bound by professional confidentiality.
And where does a web search lead? That's where promises are most often broken.
A Swiss headquarters does not guarantee that.
Time limits tend to be hidden there.
Read the disclaimers before using the product in a production environment.
Three observations that go beyond the products.
The Euria case shows that a chatbot hosted on Swiss servers can adopt the worldview of its base model.
Today, the systems in use are primarily Qwen, GLM, Kimi, or DeepSeek. With Lumo 2.0, Proton switched from European to Chinese models.
Available on mono.chat, Safe Swiss Cloud, and chat.publicai.co; listed in the Infomaniak catalog; planned for the Swisscom B2B product.
