1. LLäMmlein: Transparent, Compact and Competitive German-Only Language Models from Scratch (2025 · 15 citations)
   German has few large language models that are built only on German data and documented openly. Most German-capable systems are multilingual or adapted from English, and they say little about their training corpora. The authors close this gap with LLäMmlein, a family of German-only decoder models with 120M and 1B…
2. New Encoders for German Trained from Scratch: Comparing ModernGBERT with Converted LLM2Vec Models (2026 · 7 citations)
   German NLP still relies heavily on encoder models for classification, tagging and embedding tasks, yet few modern, transparent German encoders exist, and none of them support long inputs.
3. Towards Knowledge Graph-Grounded Evaluation of Agentic LLMs on Cybersecurity Capture-the-Flag Challenges (2026)
   Agentic LLMs for offensive security are usually scored on whether they capture the flag, or against ad hoc checkpoints defined per challenge.
