Apertus – Attribution & Provenance

This is not the original release of Apertus.
I am not the author of the model and I do not claim ownership of the weights, training, or original chat template.
This Ollama page is simply a community upload intended to make Apertus easier to run with Ollama.

Recommended Ollama version: >= v0.12.6-rc0

Disclaimer

The chat template provided here is intentionally basic and should be considered a convenience template for Ollama, not a full reproduction of the official Hugging Face chat template.

As a result, this upload may not expose the complete behavior or feature set available in the original Hugging Face releases. Features that depend on the richer official template and the surrounding Hugging Face ecosystem may behave differently or be unavailable here.

For the most complete / reference behavior, please refer to the official sources linked below.
