On October 3, 2026, Aleph Alpha released Kolibri, a 78B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with a 1M token context window under an Apache 2.0 license.
It offers a high-performance, GDPR-compliant alternative for European enterprises wary of US-based frontier labs.
AILookup take
The 1M context window in an open-weight 78B model is a significant technical achievement that makes Aleph Alpha relevant again. For German-speaking industries, this is a viable 'sovereign' stack that bypasses the legal complexities of using OpenAI or Anthropic.
