Model design

The 50-layer transformer combines sliding-window and grouped-query attention in a 4:1 ratio. Each MoE layer has 384 experts with one shared and six routed experts. Pretraining used 20 trillion tokens, followed by mid-training and context extension. The model supports native tool calls.Kolibri 1 model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. Use Kolibri when German wording and institution-specific documents are central to the task. Start within the recommended serving context instead of filling the maximum window. Measure complete tool workflows and unsupported-answer behavior. Active parameter count describes computation, not the memory needed to store all experts.
