Cedille.ai

Cedille is a text generation assistant aimed at French and German writing. It generates new text from a prompt, summarizes a long article down to a sentence or two, rewrites a passage in a different register, and classifies short inputs such as company names into categories. The interface is a web app organized around named skills, each of which is a prepared task the underlying model performs on whatever text you supply, and every plan includes all skills and all languages. It was built by Coteries, a web agency based at the EPFL Innovation Park in Switzerland. The company says it trained its own models on top of an open source model released by EleutherAI, with compute support from a Google research program, and published some of that work on GitHub and Hugging Face. The positioning is explicitly regional: where most writing assistants of its generation were built English first, Cedille was presented as a French language model of comparable quality, and the marketing site itself is served in French, English and German. Pricing is published in euros and metered in generations rather than words or characters. A free testing plan gives 25 generations in the first 14 days and then 10 generations per month. Basic is 9 euros per month for 50 generations, Regular is 39 euros per month for 250 generations, and Professional is 139 euros per month for 1,000 generations. A customized plan, quoted on request, covers a generation volume matched to your needs, creation of custom skills, API integration of those skills into internal projects and technical support. The domain was slow to respond on a first attempt but loads normally on retry, and the product remains reachable through a separate app subdomain linked from every page.
