Apertus v1.5 8B is a language model from Swiss Ai. It does not hold a position on ModelCap's current board yet; it is placed automatically once its model card or a public benchmark compares it with ranked models. Its weights are downloadable after an access request.

OpenRouter endpoint status could not be refreshed. This model is not treated as currently served until a successful observation arrives.
Current provider status is unavailable.
Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Experimental estimate. This layer predicts from admitted evidence and safe metadata only. It never enters ModelCap Score or rank.
Not yet published: the base model it derives from, a current serving provider, measured provider uptime, published provider pricing, declared context and output limits, admitted benchmark results, results across several capability areas, results from more than one source, a confident match to its benchmark entries, pinned evaluation dataset versions.
A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

Apertus v1.5 8B has no public ModelCap Index position as of 7 November 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.
No live API price is listed for Apertus v1.5 8B in the current snapshot as of 7 November 2026 because the latest endpoint refresh was unavailable. ModelCap shows a price only when a provider currently lists one.
