Germany released a model named Soofi S 30B-A3B, described as "quite good." The post mentions:
- Trained with 27T tokens
- Open weights
- Focused primarily on German and English
- Fully transparent disclosure of data, training, and evaluation
- Model trained entirely in Germany
However, it still lags behind the bleeding-edge leaders. The reposter believes the bigger takeaway is that an increasing number of countries are starting to build serious sovereign AI stacks from scratch.
