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...
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.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
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.

seems pretty obvious that you want more operators than non-operators on your board
you have to know how to run things inside a company in order to give good advice to people running the company
Revolut founder Nik Storonsky says one of his investors tried forcing him to fire his best person:
“He was forcing me to fire my best person, because he was too hardcore.”
“Of course I didn’t fire him. I said no.”
“Pretty early on I realized that quite a few VCs, they are not very operational, and they can be actually dangerous for the company if they have enough power. So every single investment round, we just remove VCs.”
“Now I don't have any VCs on the board. I think that's the best. You always need to have operators rather than VCs on the board, people who actually build business and who know how to do things.”
don't buy into doom
don't sell doom
Every era has someone selling doom
Fear has always been how power is harvested. It feeds on a frightened mind and a frightened mind gives its power to whoever promises shelter, often the hands that built the storm.
Fear is the chain and it only holds if you believe in it. When you return to love, build that trust within. What they feed on starves when you stop being afraid

For months, everyone has been talking about Peter Thiel’s secretive Antichrist lectures in Nashville. @gb_rango attended all four off-the-record lectures, held inside the historic Grand Lodge of Tennessee Free and Accepted Masons.
Now, with Thiel’s blessing: a comprehensive, firsthand reconstruction of his sprawling theory of the end times, from AI doomers and one-world government to the fate of America.

step 1: learn how to think deeply
step 2: learn how to meditate (aka develop intuition)
step 3: learn how to balance both
takes a while to develop these but it's not hard, just takes dedicated time and effort
Napoleon Bonaparte talked about a rare skill that separates those who dominate from those who remain dominated, and he possessed it. First, u must develop the habit of thinking deeply. Without it, ur ability to think will stagnate, and you'll flee the moment something demands thinking, and this skill cannot be developed beyond a certain age. Once you've practiced enough of not thinking, you won't be able to think. And Those who cannot think cannot decide, and therefore cannot command, and that deficiency is a reliable sign of lifelong subordination and slavery.
But once u develop this ability to a high degree, u will begin suffering from anxiety, depression, and overthinking. That's when u must learn to regulate ur mind through certain activities like meditation, intense sports, solving maths, reading for hours at once, or other spiritual practices. Master both abilities, and u can reach ur peak. You'll be able to tell ur brain when to think, let it unfold layers of understanding, and it will start doing the same, and tell it when to stop and it will stop. Then u can relax and move on. That's when ur ready to dominate wherever u go. Very hard.
