SKT releases A.X K2, a 688B parameter MoE language model

SKT has released A.X K2, a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model. This model boasts 688 billion total parameters with 33 billion active parameters, designed for strong reasoning and instruction-following capabilities while maintaining efficient inference. A key feature is its hybrid reasoning control, allowing users to choose between a 'thinking' mode for complex problem-solving and a 'non-thinking' mode for faster, lower-latency responses. Developed as part of a Korean government initiative, A.X K2 aims to be a frontier-scale model with a deep understanding of Korean language and culture. AI

IMPACT This model's hybrid reasoning control could enable more efficient and adaptable AI applications by allowing users to balance response quality with latency.
