The Soofi consortium has launched Soofi S, its first foundational model for industrial AI in Europe. Designed for traceability, adaptability, and deployment on sovereign infrastructure, Soofi S targets industrial applications requiring control, transparency, and efficiency, such as technical documentation, code generation, and enterprise-specific solutions.

Soofi S is a 30B Mixture-of-Experts model, trained on 27 trillion tokens, with a focus on German and English text. It serves as the basis for future Soofi models, including specialized versions for dialogue, reasoning, and agent applications. The project is currently conducting practical tests with industrial partners, with a general release for direct use not yet available.

Soofi is seeking companies and organizations for its next testing phase to trial industrial AI applications. Interested parties, including businesses, SMEs, public administration, research institutions, and startups, are invited to contact [email protected] with a company description, industry, and potential use case.

The Soofi initiative unites leading German research institutions and startups to develop sovereign European AI models, combining academic excellence with industrial application expertise.
