Aleph Alpha GmbH is a German artificial intelligence (AI) startup company founded by Jonas Andrulis and Samuel Weinbach, both of whom have professional experience at companies such as Apple and Deloitte . Based in Heidelberg , the company aims to develop a sovereign technology stack for generative AI that operates independently of U.S. companies and complies with European data protection regulations, including the Artificial Intelligence Act . Aleph Alpha has established reportedly one of the most powerful AI clusters within its own data center, and specializes in developing large language models (LLM). These models are designed to provide transparency regarding the sources used for generating results and are intended for use by enterprises and governmental agencies. The training of these models has been conducted in five European languages.
