Tabular foundation models now beat four-hour-tuned gradient boosting with statistical significance — while TabPFN-3 fits on a single GPU. What changes, and when GBDTs still win.
Pi 1.0 shipped 1 October and the bandwagon is rolling. Instead of boarding it we ran a workshop and an adversarial sandbox probe: the recommended Docker config leaks, the 'hardened' flags crash, and the spec still beats the model.
Aleph Alpha's Kolibri is a 78.1B MoE with only 3.46B active parameters per token, under Apache 2.0 — built for German, EU AI Act compliance, and sovereign deployment.
BSI published C5:2026 in March. How NIST CSF 2.0, CSA CCM v4, AICM v1.1, and the new European cloud catalogue map together — and which one your self-hosted AI stack needs first.
Article 4 of the EU AI Act has been actively enforced since August 2026. What engineering teams must document, and how to build an audit-ready AI-literacy programme.
