Evidence boundaries

Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.

Profile note

A German public research centre that produced one of the most-cited foundation models of 2025: Centaur, a Nature-published model of human cognition trained on 10M+ human decisions, which is a genuinely novel model category rather than another chat LLM. Also a significant producer of biomedical/single-cell foundation models. Fully open, no commercial arm, no pricing.
