    The comparisons with other models here are odd.. the other models change depending on the task. It would be far more useful to at least compare against the more recent open models (DS4Flash/GLM53Flash/Qwen38).

    Fully open models really need to be a big part of the AI future. That includes all source code, open training data, how it's organized, fed to the model, processed, etc. Until that becomes a thing you're always going to be left wondering what exactly lies underneath the closed model you are using, leaving open the possibility for societal manipulation.

      The training data would need to have a permissible license for this to be possible.

      Why? Sure, I’d prefer it, too, but this is just another GNU/Linux vs. macOS situation: most of us would prefer the first, but actually get shit done on the latter.

        which is why everyone runs docker on mac, to get shit done.

    Here’s the link (K2)[https://ifm.ai/k2/] as the originally linked link is a login url.

    A bit off topic, but I think I'm starting to get model fatigue. These come out 10x faster than new Javascript frameworks were coming out 10 years ago (at least new models are far easier to adopt).

      At least this one can claim being fully open to differentiate it

      Just wait until RSI gains enough traction. We'll be compute-limited rather than labor-limited.

    it's funny that the tagline is Radically Open, but you're immediately hit with http login - maybe this was the wrong link?

      It's not the blog post, but there's some info here:

      https://ifm.ai/k2/

      375 A23B, 36 A4B, 32B, 7B, 3.7B, 0.9B variants.

      > 32B: Ranking among the top models in its class, 32B is our most powerful dense model, balancing capability, adaptability, and local deployability.

      > 7B: The industry’s best-performing model under 10B combines strong software engineering and expert knowledge in a package small enough to run on a phone.

      https://ifm.ai/k2/ seems to work for me.

    Not to be confused with Kimi K2. Out of all the names they could've used, they picked one that would be confusing.

    both repositories for pre-training and post-training are actually empty... someone might have jumped the gun on the release.
