A German research consortium has released Soofi S 30B-A3B, an open language model trained entirely on Deutsche Telekom's cloud infrastructure in Munich. The model uses an efficient hybrid architecture that activates only a fraction of its 31.6 billion parameters per token, keeping throughput steady even at very long contexts. With a training dataset deliberately weighted toward German, Soofi S tops all fully open competitors on both German and English benchmarks.<br /> The article German AI consortium releases Soofi S, an open 30B model that tops benchmarks in both English and German appeared first on The Decoder.

Joining the ranks of a growing number of smaller, powerful reasoning models is MiroThinker 1.5 from MiroMind, with just 30 billion parameters, compared to the hundreds of billions or trillions used by [...]
It's not just Google's Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 we have to be thankful for this year around the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S.No, today the Germ [...]
Nous Research, the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup, released on Tuesday an open-source mathematical reasoning system called Nomos 1 that achieved near-elite human performance on th [...]
On Sunday, a team of nine researchers at Sina Weibo — the Chinese social media giant better known for its microblogging platform than for cutting-edge artificial intelligence — quietly posted a 14 [...]
Watch out, DeepSeek and Qwen! There's a new king of open source large language models (LLMs), especially when it comes to something enterprises are increasingly valuing: agentic tool use — that [...]
For decades, the IQ test has been one of the most familiar — and most contested — yardsticks for human intelligence. Now, a startup project called AI IQ is applying the same metaphor to artificial [...]
Even as the geopolitical conversation around AI continues to grow more fraught following the U.S. government's actions to limit the new models from Anthropic and OpenAI, Chinese open source darli [...]
For much of 2025, the frontier of open-weight language models has been defined not in Silicon Valley or New York City, but in Beijing and Hangzhou.Chinese research labs including Alibaba's Qwen, [...]
