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.

Today we announced an important addition to DeepL. We’re bringing the team from @Mixhalo and their high-fidelity, ultra-low latency, audio streaming technology onto the DeepL platform. It’s going to rapidly accelerate our roadmap for DeepL Voice: human, nuanced spoken translations, delivered even faster, as part of a real-time communication layer.
Our CTO Sebastian Enderlein has a new blog that sets out why we’re so excited about the Mixhalo news: deepl.com/en/blog/bringing-m…

Nice. Specialists/experts still got it. 🚀🚀🚀
We just upgraded our model, and raised the bar for AI translation.
Across 16 language pairs, blind testers commissioned by DeepL preferred our translations in 94% of head-to-head tests:
• 100% of language pairs vs Google Translate
• 100% vs ChatGPT 5.2 (high reasoning)
• 100% vs Microsoft Translate
• 88% vs Google Gemini 3.1 Pro (high thinking)
• 81% vs Claude Opus 4.6 (high reasoning)
Translation isn’t just about words. It’s about capturing human meaning precisely. That’s what we test for. That’s what DeepL delivers.

Over the past months I’ve increasingly encountered questions about “Europe’s decline in tech”. I wanted to share my response to these questions here. While I am realistic about Europe's modest past success, and that there are no trillion dollar companies, I am optimistic about its future. In fact, I "put my money where my mouth is" and chose to bet my career on it – I have been doing venture on the continent for over a decade instead of moving to Silicon Valley.
Here are some of my thoughts on the topic.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's @lasers_llnl conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

Germany 🇩🇪 ranks 41st out of 43 countries analyzed wrt starting new companies. VC-backed or not we need to change that! We need more entrepreneurs but also better conditions to get started, less bureaucracy, more education & support! @handelsblatt

Wow. This is huge.
Our preliminary conclusion: @Apple is in breach of EU competition law. @AppleMusic compete with other music streaming services. But @Apple charges high commission fees on rivals in the App store & forbids them to inform of alternative subscription options. Consumers losing out.
