Show HN: Germany's new sovereign AI model Kolibri

Automated excerpt

Kolibri is an open-weight large language model (LLM) from Aleph Alpha for German and English: a mixture of experts with 78 billion parameters that only uses about 3. 5 billion of them for each token it reads or writes. At 1 million tokens, on the RULER long-context test, Kolibri’s base model scores 63. 2, against 57. 5 for Qwen3. 5 35B-A3B’s base model. Reasoning models think before they answer, and even on German prompts they mostly think in English.
