Instructions to use Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Tool Call caching in ram breaks the model

Too many tool calls in a cached situation, like using it as Chat Model with a n8n Memory Node like I run it as a retrieval tool for information blocks that get parsed through an n8n workflow to the user, will in long let the model "shit itself" it will reason but not send the answer.

Can reliably replicate this problem with my n8n setup.

Discord message as input -> Ai Node sends it to model -> Model has tools such as "retrieve information from link XY" User questions, retrieved data blocks and the models thinking/answer will be cached for faster access on follow up questions. Models like Qwen 3.6, Qwen 3.8, all current Gemmas and Ornith 1.5 35b dont have this problem even after longer Sessions. Kolibri starts answering that triggers Errors in n8n.

The problem doesn't occur after the first message but after 10/15 depending on the length.
