NXT EU (@NXT4EU)
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 🙏 Two quick corrections from the team: (1) this is an outdated version of the figure, the Qwen3 32B point was an error we've since fixed, current version below (2) To be precise: Soofi S is the strongest fully open model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 😄

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

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.

It's a nice start but nothing more. This is in no way anywhere near the top except for on their own metric catered to their model. The tweet hypes this up way too much, it's silly. All the best to the team though! Let's hope they actually get there

Sure, what was the actual model it was based on? I see configuration\_nemotron\_h.py & modeling\_nemotron\_h.py in the HF repo. I did send an approval request to check other files to have an idea. I have doubts, happy to be proven wrong.

So basically you picked up the models you needed to make that Soofi S garbage appear as the best one, then ignored every other one that is better than it. This propaganda account is quickly becoming a joke 😆
