Aleph Alpha

Aleph Alpha is a German AI company that builds specialized large language models, which it abbreviates as SLLMs, for organizations whose data and expertise must remain sovereign. Rather than offering a general purpose model behind an API, it designs, trains and operates a model for a specific domain and builds the surrounding application jointly with the customer's own teams, so the result fits existing processes and produces verifiable insights from sensitive documents. Every model runs on European infrastructure under EU law. Its customers are industrial companies, public sector bodies and defense organizations, along with legal, administrative, scientific and manufacturing teams inside large enterprises. Named references include Bosch, Deutsche Bank, SAP, Infineon, Hella, Schwarz Group, a German state government, the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport and the Federal Employment Agency. Published cases describe an assistant deployed across a large government agency to speed up administrative processes, an agent at a semiconductor manufacturer that cut document search time by 90 percent, and an automotive supplier that processed requests for quotation 40 percent faster. The company operates from Heidelberg, Berlin, Bayreuth and Munich and is led by two chief executives. Pricing is not published. Engagements are scoped through a sales enquiry that captures industry, region and requirements, and each project is quoted individually. Buyers coming from earlier references should note that the current site describes the company around specialized models and jointly built solutions rather than a named platform or a public model family, so any evaluation should start with a conversation about the specific use case.
