Aleph Alpha Releases Sovereign Model Kolibri

Aleph Alpha released Kolibri, an open-weight language model using a mixture-of-experts architecture with 78 billion total parameters and approximately 3 billion active per token.

German accounts for 21.3% of the training data, and the model was trained on 768 B200 GPUs in Germany and Finland. The company states it complies with the EU AI Act and targets public administration, aviation, and industry sectors.

Weights are available under the Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face. Aleph Alpha reports a 71% score on German benchmarks and claims Pareto-optimal quality-cost performance, though these results remain vendor-self-reported and unverified by independent parties.
