Aleph Alpha's Kolibri Lags Behind Open-Weight Leaders
Aleph Alpha has released Kolibri, a new open-source German-English AI model under the Apache-2.0 license, designed for mission-critical applications in public administration and industry. Kolibri features a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 78 billion total parameters and about 3.46 billion active per token. Trained on 20 trillion tokens, with 23% in German and a German-optimized tokenizer, it supports context lengths up to one million tokens. The model excels in agentic workflows, RAG, and native tool calling, while emphasizing data sovereignty and compliance, including a blocklist of 4.5 million URLs and GDPR/EU AI Act adherence. Independent benchmarks, however, place it behind at least 20 other open-weight models. Aleph Alpha is merging with Cohere to form a transatlantic sovereign AI company, subject to regulatory approval. In a broader economic debate, Reid Hoffman argues AI infrastructure expansion is the 'only reason' the US avoids recession, though economists dispute this.
Laytr App Lets You Save Anything Online
Laytr, a new app by indie developer Mostafa Talaat under his company Waitery Inc., offers a read-it-later service that extends to saving any web content, including articles, recipes, screenshots, videos, PDFs, bookmarks, and tabs. The app automatically sorts content types and allows organization into collections called 'cases,' with reminders for saved items. Privacy is a core feature: everything is stored locally and synced via iCloud, requiring no account, and the developer cannot access user data. Laytr imports Pocket exports, easing migration after Pocket's shutdown. The app is free for up to 30 saved items, with Premium pricing at $1.99/month, $14.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime (introductory $24.99). Users can export their entire archive as a ZIP file at any time. Laytr avoids AI features and personalization to maintain privacy.
