Infomaniak launches Euria, a free and sovereign AI that respects privacy and heats homes

All request processing, storage and hosting of Euria’s solution takes place exclusively in Infomaniak’s data centers in Switzerland, with no external service providers or data transfer abroad.

Discussions with Euria are encrypted by Infomaniak at all stages, guaranteeing their protection against unauthorised access. The data is used exclusively to ensure the service functions correctly: no information is used to train artificial intelligence models, build profiles or feed third-party systems.

Ephemeral mode offers an absolute level of confidentiality: exchanges are never stored, leave no trace on the servers and cannot be retrieved by any means, even by Infomaniak.

Fully compliant with the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act (FADP), Euria meets the requirements of sensitive sectors such as healthcare, education, law, finance and public administration, which require strong guarantees of security, confidentiality and digital sovereignty.

(…)

Euria can be accessed without having to create an account via the euria.infomaniak.com page and the Infomaniak Euria mobile app, available for Android and iOS devices.

So after DuckDuckGo AI, Proton Lumo, and Ask Brave, Infomaniak’s Euria is another “private” hosted AI provider. I’m not sure what models they use, I asked Euria and it said it was based on Qwen.

Definitely based on Chinese models…

They should use a sorting algorithm/model and redirect political questions to open-source Mistral or American models.

Edit: I sent like 5 messages and I already reached my daily limit apparently…

Infomaniak already sounds worse than Telegram. Stay far away.

Also their datacenters use renewable energy sources. That’s nice!

Well…that’s a creative way to manage that issue. It is unfortunate that the vast majority of AI data centers do not use renewable resources.

That asides, is it actually a good idea to be based on Qwen rather than a European alternative like Mistral?

Don’t forget: Infomaniak breaks rank and comes out in support of controversial Swiss encryption law

This is seemingly the only positive to what is basically a “private” propaganda machine. Although my guess is, considering all the environmental issues data centers cause, its still a massive net negative for the planet.

This.

I agree as almost all of them rely on non renewable resources, but if all of them did, it wouldn’t be that bad. In general, we should learn to use less energy every day, though.

Yeah infomaniak has a terrible reputation and really is not a privacy provider despite their marketing.

I thought since their “nothing to hide” incident they’re sort of became a pariah among the crowd. Surprised they’re still being discussed here.

jfc this is worse than just refusing to answer.

This is a huge issue nowadays with the best open models
being Chinese. The Taiwan example is obvious, but they often show pro-Authoritarian bias too. Ask it if Xi Jimping is “authoritarian” and it will use euphemism like “concentrated power” but also say that this allowed economic growth and so on.
