Soofi Consortium Releases Soofi S 30B-A3B: An Open Hybrid Mamba-Transformer MoE Foundation Model For German And English
A German research consortium has published the pretraining report for Soofi S 30B-A3B. It is an open base model for German and English. Training ran end to end on Deutsche Telekom’s Industrial AI Cloud in Munich. Preview weights are on Hugging Face. It is worth noting that among some of the fully open base models tested, Soofi S records the highest English and German aggregate scores. What is Soofi S 30B-A3B? Soofi S is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) hybrid Mamba Transformer foundation
A German research consortium has released Soofi S 30B-A3B, an open foundation model designed to work with both German and English languages. The model uses a hybrid architecture combining different sequence-processing techniques and activates only a portion of its total parameters per token, making it more efficient than traditional dense models. Among fully open base models tested using the same evaluation methods, Soofi S achieved the highest combined scores for both English and German, suggesting it performs particularly well on German-language tasks and bilingual applications. The model was trained on a large cluster of GPUs and is available as preview weights on Hugging Face for researchers and developers to download and use.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
