K2-V2: Full Openness Finally Meets Real Performance

MBZUAI ·

IFM has released K2-V2, a 70B-class LLM that takes a "360-open" approach by making its weights, data, training details, checkpoints, and fine-tuning recipes publicly available. K2-V2 matches leading open-weight model performance while offering full transparency, contrasting with proprietary and semi-open Chinese models. Independent evaluations show K2 as a high-performance, fully open-source alternative in the AI landscape. Why it matters: K2-V2 provides developers with a transparent and reproducible foundation model, fostering trust and enabling customization without sacrificing performance, which is crucial for sensitive applications in the region.

K2: An open source model that delivers frontier capabilities

MBZUAI ·

MBZUAI's Institute of Foundation Models has released K2, a 70-billion-parameter, reasoning-centric foundation model. K2 is designed to be fully inspectable, with open weights, training code, data composition, mid-training checkpoints, and evaluation harnesses. K2 outperforms Qwen2.5-72B and approaches the performance of Qwen3-235B. Why it matters: This release promotes transparency and reproducibility in AI development, providing researchers with the resources needed to study, adapt, and build upon a strong foundation model.
