Dong察 Beating AI News Flash: Swiss AI lab Giotto has launched two models, Alto and Solo, claiming to have built "Europe's smartest sovereign AI". The lab emphasized that the models are hosted on European cloud infrastructure, with data remaining in Europe, and do not rely on U.S. cloud service providers. However, shortly after release, netizens uncovered issues. When testing Alto, the model surprisingly identified itself as Kimi, developed by China's Moonshot AI. Facing community inquiries, Aldo Podestà, co-founder and CEO of Giotto, admitted the models did inherit some Kimi weights, but stressed the team had conducted retraining and added self-developed inference-time computing (TTC) technology. He provided no details on the specific Kimi version used or which exact weights were inherited. More ironically, Podestà himself published an article titled "Open Source is a Trojan Horse" on October 19, criticizing Europe for packaging open-source models as "sovereign AI", noting such moves often amount to another form of dependency on external parties. Just 8 days later, he was caught doing the exact same thing – a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black. This is not an isolated incident. On September 2, Spanish AI firm Multiverse Computing promoted its Quasar 438B as "Europe's leading AI model", but omitted the model's base architecture in its launch announcement. It was only the next day that a technical post clarified the model was actually compressed and optimized based on Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2.
