Since launching the open-source Prem App, as an Open-Source Alternative to OpenAI last summer, Prem Labs has closely collaborated with various industry leaders in financial compliance, commerce, and gaming. Recently, it has unveiled a new development platform, currently in beta version, enabling businesses to effortlessly incorporate generative AI into their products and provide enhanced performance, personalization, simplified integration, and complete ownership of the AI models. Under the guidance of leading academic advisor Emanuele Carpanzano, Prem Labs also collaborates on AI research with various universities, including the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) and Università della Svizzera italiana (USI).

Prem Labs provides clients with the resources to train and fine-tune their own state-of-the-art generative AI models, using data that the client is authorized to use. It also offers on-premise deployment, giving clients full ownership and control of the AI model and their data with full sovereignty and privacy.

Over the past few years, data privacy issues have emerged with regard to AI, particularly large language models, and that is something Prem Labs seeks to address.

One of Prem Labs’ key customers is Grand, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advisense, which is one of the leading Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) specialists in Europe. Boasting a team of over 450 specialized experts, it serves as a trusted advisor to almost 700 financial institutions. Prem Labs developed Prem 1B Small Language Models (SLMs), a model trained from scratch for efficiency and fine-tuning. “The integration of the Prem Platform has revolutionized our compliance management with its fine-tuning capability, enabling precise customization of AI models for the financial sector and enhancing our AI GRC software’s efficiency and compliance precision for our clients,” says Nicolas Espinoza, PhD, CEO of Grand, a leading KYC & AML EU-based provider.

Prem Labs’ team is a dynamic mix of diverse individuals, with wide-ranging talents and deep technological expertise across various aspects of technology and artificial intelligence research, all united by a shared passion to challenge the status quo.
