The authors built two training corpora of 70B words each, with matched domain mixtures (80% web-crawled… 2. **[A Sovereign, Open-Source Foundation Model for German and English](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/droste-2026-sovereign-open-source-foundation-model/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Soofi S 30B-A3B is a German–English base model built by a German research consortium. It targets three weaknesses of current open models: releases that share weights but hide how they were made, thin coverage of German in multilingual models, and the high serving cost of dense Transformers at long context.
