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).
kelseyfrog•34m ago
Just wait until RSI gains enough traction. We'll be compute-limited rather than labor-limited.
wuhhh•34m ago
At least this one can claim being fully open to differentiate it
kamranjon•45m ago
it's funny that the tagline is Radically Open, but you're immediately hit with http login - maybe this was the wrong link?
gs17•43m ago
https://ifm.ai/k2/ seems to work for me.
esafak•41m ago
But it's missing the all-important charts that the blog had before it started asking for authentication.
wmedrano•39m ago
You can find some of the charts on huggingface

Thanks! Qwen-3.8 27B seems to benchmark better but I'd like to try this some time.
sottol•40m ago
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.

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.

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.
homarp•19m ago
which is why everyone runs docker on mac, to get shit done.
zufallsheld•6m ago
Without open-source, there'd be no macOS.. So good thing, it exists.
kibae•16m ago
The training data would need to have a permissive license for this to be possible.
ux266478•6m ago
You could sidestep it by running non-permissibly licensed training data that you purchased through an LLM. Legal attitude so far seems to be that this is transformative as long as it's not 1:1. The question on whether or not the end result is copyrightable of course remains controversial and inconsistent, but that question is also fairly irrelevent. You don't get more libre than public domain.

That's a fair amount of computational and labor overhead mind you, as you'll need to verify and prune the quality of your mountain of synthetic data, but certainly possible.

both repositories for pre-training and post-training are actually empty... someone might have jumped the gun on the release.
afzalive•20m ago
Not to be confused with Kimi K2. Out of all the names they could've used, they picked one that would be confusing.
mmastrac•10m ago
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).
