Germany has launched one of the world's best open-source AI models.

Soofi S, made by the Soofi consortium, is a 30B parameter model fully trained in Europe and tops the ranking for open-source AI.

Huge moment for Europe, and finally some competition for Chinese open-source AI.

Thanks for the coverage! 🙏

Two quick corrections from the team:

(1) this is an outdated version of the figure, the Qwen3 32B point was an error we've since fixed, current version below

(2) To be precise: Soofi S is the strongest fully open model (weights, data accounting, code all released), Qwen3.5 is ahead on raw capability; our edge is capability + throughput + full openness

For a first model, very impressive.

Excited to see what the future of Soofi will be.

List missing all Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4. And many other fine tuned Qwen 3.5. So its compared to things that already irrelevant ...

@0xSero @MiaAI_lab any chance you can benchmark the model?

Another proof that EU is not the "sinking ship" that anti EU far-rights-wing in Norway claim.

Even as a French i'm happy to see some German models finally. The Germans were very good at Music so this can carry over to AI 😄

There is no comparison with Qwen3.6 on the chart.

i can't take seriously a plot that shows Mistral as Ministral three times

r u kidding me? i can't even test it. Looks like a scam website with lots of EU Logo. Prove it or it doesn't exist. Otherwise you are just another call center scammer

It is good but you have to obtain Großsprachmodellnutzungsgenehmigungsbehördenerlaubnisbescheid from the government to use it.

All we need is Qwen3.7.<br>Preferably, 122B-A10B.

Many stupid comments. Actually a really decent model and especially interesting for german industrial applications.

I'm purely curious, and I would ask this about any other lab, why do you benchmark against older models? i.e. Qwen 3.5 and not 3.6 for example?

The most important question for me, is its training data ethical?

For me, performance is not an issue, as long as no copyright infringement has occured. That is the model I'll push and support without reservation.

These guys call themselves "sovereign", but I guess they don't understand the concept. EU/Germany does not produce independently any of the chips or equipment necessary to train such a model.
