cybernews.com/ai-news/germany-kolibri-ai
Germany’s AI startup Aleph Alpha has launched Kolibri, a bilingual English-German AI model designed for regulated sectors like public administration and aerospace. With 78.1 billion parameters, Kolibri can operate on-premises, ensuring data security by avoiding third-party services. It outperforms models from Alibaba, Mistral, and Nvidia in reasoning, coding, and information navigation but lags behind Alibaba’s Qwen in long-context comprehension. Kolibri complies with EU AI regulations and GDPR, emphasizing copyright law and reducing hallucinations by admitting uncertainty.
