The Uno "diffusion adaptor" will take a while for me to understand, but sounds very interesting.

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.

But it's missing the all-important charts that the blog had before it started asking for authentication.

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

little qwen is my favorite for the homelab, vllm 0.28 now supports the dflash2 to go with it

While the open approach is commendable. The 32b and 36b models are inferior to qwen 3.8 27b, at least according to benchmark numbers. I would have liked to have seen both compared to 27b, not only the dense one. Also would have liked to see more coding benchmarks in the full table.

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

I kind of assumed all the K2 names were puns. K2 is quite tall, so to get to the top of it you have to be really good at hill climbing. Anyway it’s a pretty well known mountain so I don’t think anyone can call dibs on it.

Not to be confused itself with K2 Think by MBZUAI...

I attempted their chat demo to see the speed and it stated the model couldnt be found.

edit: Tried signing up and using the internal playground. Holy shit thats fast.

Interesting, have not heard of this company/org before. It seems they're from a UAE university?

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

Frontier. Everything is frontier. K2 not to be confused with the other K2, or K3 that is also frontier.
