Leading the Way in AI Innovation
At ellamind, we pride ourselves on leading the way in AI innovation. Our founding team developed some of the most sophisticated and widely used open-source AI models in the German-speaking world and brings unparalleled expertise to the table.
We prioritize transparency and collaboration through initiatives like DiscoResearch, where we exchange knowledge with our community. We are committed to the rapid development of state-of-the-art AI models and pipelines, and will continue to openly share many of these advancements.
How we approach building AI systems
Collaborative Knowledge
We grow through collaboration—internally and with the wider AI community. Through initiatives like DiscoResearch, we openly share insights, learn continuously, and contribute.
Innovation with Purpose
Our work combines advanced research with practical deployment, ensuring innovation delivers measurable impact—not just technical novelty.
Transparency & Trust
We believe trust comes from understanding. Our systems are explainable, auditable, and predictable, giving teams clear insight into how models behave and how decisions are made.
Ownership is assumed, not assigned
At ellamind, culture is something we actively shape together. We trust people to take ownership of their work and the decisions that come with it.

Built for Control, Responsibility and Real-World Deployment
We design and deploy custom large language models for organizations with specific requirements around data protection, regulation, and domain knowledge. Our mission is to help teams build AI systems that are perfectly tailored to their unique context—technically, legally, and organizationally.
Why Choose a Custom LLM?
While off-the-shelf models are powerful, they are not designed for every environment. In regulated industries and sensitive domains, organizations require more than just raw capability—they need control, transparency, and predictability.
