I made this video for our new brand
It was inspired by our manifesto, our values and our mission: intelligence you control, built in Switzerland with a European heart. I wanted the brand to show what @giotto_ai AI can be, and to carry the ambition of a team that has been doing research since 2017
Thank you to everyone who shaped it with me!
There is a lot more to share...

Our team is growing and we're hiring. If you want to build sovereign AI with us, check the open roles on our portal: giotto.ai/careers

Sovereign AI Night
17 November in Lausanne
Come meet the Giotto team, demo Solo on a Giotto workstation. Live music, pizza and drinks are on us. Limited spots: luma.com/v01pmhov
AI is now shaping political decisions
56% of voters said it was a major factor in their vote vs 44% that said minor or none
democrats clearly care more about AI and about it's effects on their environment than republicans
so with house and senate now being democrat, let's see what legislative changes this will bring
0.016% change to get 600%-300% better results
this is what working smarter with what we have looks like
do more with less
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

Pope Leo took notes from our manifesto
The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.
We heard you yesterday loud and clear, so please apply and benchmark Giotto on our cost!
€20,000 in API tokens to test our model
You told us the benchmarking clause in our terms was a problem, and we agree so we've removed it. Anyone can now benchmark Giotto and publish the results, whatever they show.
To support independent testing, we're setting aside €20,000 in tokens for people who run their own evaluations. Apply through our form:

Yes, we start from open-source weights, and that's a deliberate engineering choice.
Pre-training a frontier model from scratch costs tens of millions and mostly re-learns what open weights already encode, that spend doesn't make sense to absorb in full.
The smart move is to take strong open starting points and deeply retrain, align, and operate them with our own expertise, including advanced test-time compute techniques. That's how you build something competitive that can genuinely serve users independently.
every word in this manifesto was thoughtfully and deliberately jotted down
it exemplifies who we are and why we do what we do, our raison d’être
we build with a true purpose, for generations to come

Giotto is still trending!! Thank you for all the love and fudeedback, our team hasnt slept lol
You guys crashed our systems, we never anticipated so much traffic and are currently working on getting more compute before our gpus completely explode
We've got some announcements coming today, if you have any questions in the meantime head over to our discord our team is there discord.gg/giotto 🇨🇭✊

for those discovering giotto today, here is a little piece of our history. we train models since 2017 and master TTC like very few teams around
Our discord is open for everyone, come chat! 😈
The Giotto server is live! Come chat to our team, ask questions, break things: discord.gg/giotto

I've lost count of how many times I've heard "Europe has nothing to offer in AI."
Today we get to answer that with numbers.
Giotto Alto and Giotto Solo are live, and the benchmarks speak for themselves. These are models that hold their own against the top frontier models in the world, on reasoning, efficiency and capability.
Very proud of this team. This is what a serious European, and global, AI player looks like.
The EU Renaissance is here
Today we announce the launch of the Giotto family of models. We are unveiling Giotto Alto and Giotto Solo, the smartest European sovereign AI models on the market.
Giotto Alto is our flagship model built for advanced reasoning capabilities, free for everyone and available on the App Store and Google Play. It is hosted on European cloud infrastructure, so your data stays in Europe. Giotto Solo is the smartest model that runs on a single GPU, so organisations can keep their AI on their own infrastructure.
We are a Swiss lab with a European heart and we built this so that Europe can run advanced AI on its own terms.

Giotto's graphic shows self-reported benchmark scores comparing to specific variants of other models; independent leaderboards as of late Oct 2026 list no Giotto and different leading scores on AIME 2026, GPQA-Diamond and HLE.
