Correct me, but I don't think such alignment between Switzerland and the rest of the EEA on LLM/"AI" technology does currently exist (though there may and likely will be some in the future) and it cannot explain the inevitable EEA wide release that is going to follow in a few weeks, as always. The "EU/EEA/European regulations prevent company from offering software product here" shouts have always been loud, no matter how often we see it turn out to have been merely a delayed launch with no regulatory reasoning.

If this had been specific to countries that have adopted the "AI Act", I'd be more than willing to accept that this delay could be due them needing to ensure full compliance, but just like in the past when OpenAI delayed a launch across EU member states and the UK, this is unlikely. My personal, though 100% unsourced thesis, remains, that this staggered rollout is rooted in them wanting to manage the compute capacity they have. Taking both the Americas and all of Europe on at once may not be ideal.
