From the sources
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. It came out on 3 October 2026 under the Apache 2.0 license , the weights are on Hugging Face , and it was trained from scratch on infrastructure in Germany and Finland. (Kolibri is German for hummingbird, which is cute for a model whose whole trick is being light.) I live in Germany, and at SmashingConf New York in 2024 I told the room what I’d heard in the US when I said where I’m based: “you regulate, you don’t innovate.” It hurt to hear, and what I wished for on that stage…from tej.as
