Swiss AI Lab Giotto.ai Launches Free Cloud Version of Its AI System, Aiming for Global Access and European Sovereignty

Giotto.ai, the Swiss artificial intelligence lab founded in 2017, announced today the launch of a free cloud version of its general-purpose AI system, making advanced intelligence available to everyone, everywhere. The move follows the recent launch of Giotto.ai’s enterprise offering and its deployment with selected enterprise partners, signaling a strategic shift toward public access.

The new service, called Giotto Cloud, is designed to give anyone access to a powerful, intelligent, and reliable AI system free of charge, directly from the browser, and without artificial usage caps. According to the company, this release is a step in its mission to become a civic AI infrastructure built in Switzerland and available to the world.

“Artificial intelligence is becoming infrastructure,” said Aldo Podesta, CEO and co-founder of Giotto.ai, in the announcement. “Access to advanced AI should not be reserved only for large corporations, hyperscalers, or closed foreign platforms. We are releasing an intelligent infrastructure that is open, accessible, and useful to people everywhere.”

The cloud version is hosted in Europe on latest-generation NVIDIA B300 hardware, reflecting Giotto.ai’s commitment to European technological sovereignty and data proximity. This deployment ensures that the AI system can be operated within European infrastructure while remaining accessible globally, addressing growing concerns about data control and reliance on non-European platforms.

Giotto Cloud provides users with a general-purpose reasoning system capable of supporting writing, analysis, research, document work, coding assistance, and everyday productivity. It builds on Giotto.ai’s research in advanced reasoning and test-time compute, as well as its experience developing enterprise-grade AI systems. The launch represents a different model for AI access: not a closed platform or solely a commercial subscription product, but a public-facing intelligence layer available to everyone.

“Europe should build, operate and make advanced intelligence available to everyone. Giotto Cloud is our contribution to that future: a free, intelligent AI system, built in Europe and open to the world,” Podesta said.

For enterprises and institutions, Giotto.ai will continue to offer its Download, Use, and Buy options, allowing customers to deploy Giotto in controlled environments, access it through managed infrastructure, or acquire dedicated AI appliances. The free cloud version complements this strategy by broadening access to the general public, potentially democratizing advanced AI tools that have been largely confined to corporate users.

The announcement is significant as it challenges the dominance of large US-based AI platforms by offering a free, European-hosted alternative. It also aligns with European Union efforts to foster digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on foreign technology providers. With Giotto Cloud, the company aims to establish itself as a key player in the global AI landscape while staying true to its Swiss roots and commitment to open access.

Giotto.ai was founded in 2017 and focuses on developing advanced reasoning technologies and AI systems. The company’s decision to offer free cloud access could accelerate adoption among individuals and small organizations, potentially reshaping how AI services are delivered and accessed worldwide.
