Show HN: Germany's new sovereign AI model Kolibri
Aleph Alpha released Kolibri, an Apache 2.0 78B MoE model for German and English.
Aleph Alpha released Kolibri 1 on 3 October 2026, an Apache 2.0 open-weight mixture-of-experts model for German and English. It has 78.1 billion parameters with about 3.46 billion active per token, a native 262,144-token context tested to 1,048,576, and a 18 June 2026 knowledge cutoff. Training used roughly 24 trillion tokens, more than a fifth German, on 768 NVIDIA B200 GPUs in Germany and Finland. Aleph Alpha says it was built with the EU AI Act in mind and signed the EU GPAI Code of Practice; some data was rephrased with Gemma 4 and Mistral-NeMo, and Qwen3-32B labeled quality filters.
