Open, honest 8B LLM for 12 Balkan & SE-European languages (sr, hr, bs, mk, sl, sq, cnr, bg, el, tr, ro, hu). Thinks in-language, admits what it doesn't know. #1 on BalkanBench — beats models 3–4× its size. By Sovasoft.

Zora v1.11 — Previous Stable

зора = “dawn”. One to unite them all. — by Sovasoft (ai.in.rs)

An open 8B LLM for 12 Balkan & SE-European languages. Built on Qwen3-8B with in-language thinking, multi-perspective reasoning, and honest uncertainty.

BalkanBench: ⁸⁴⁄₁₅₆ — #1 among 8B models at release.

Note: v1.11 has been superseded by v1.12 which adds IDK Calibration, Tool-Cascade, and +4 points on BalkanBench (85). Recommended for new projects.

Quick Start

ollama run olivilo/zora-v1.11

Quantizations

Tag	Type	Size	Notes
`latest`	Q5_K_M	5.0 GB	Recommended
`q6`	Q6_K	6.7 GB	Near-lossless
`q8`	Q8_0	8.7 GB	Highest fidelity

Avoid Q4 and below — caused hallucination in our tests.

How It Thinks

In-Language — thinks in the language you write in
Multi-Perspective — shows different sides on contested topics
Honest — admits uncertainty instead of guessing
Multi-lingual — 12 languages: sr, hr, bs, mk, sl, sq, cnr, bg, el, tr, ro, hu
