Kakao releases lightweight AI model Kanana-2 as open source
Kakao has released four lightweight language models in its Kanana-2 series as open source on global AI platform Hugging Face, targeting on-device use such as smartphones. The company said the models deliver global-level performance in both Korean and English and outperform similar-size open-source models on major benchmarks. Kakao also applied its Korean-specialised tokenizer to boost Korean processing efficiency by more than 30 percent and introduced sliding window attention to cut memory use by up to 72.7 percent in long conversations.
