The model
KTwo Crust 1 Beta
ktwo-crust-1-beta
A compact frontier model, multimodal from the ground up, that trains itself natively. It is the first model in the world to do so.
- Parameters
- 9B
- Compact by frontier standards, which keeps it quick to serve and inexpensive to run.
- Modality
- Native multimodal
- One model, trained across modalities from the start. Nothing bolted on afterwards.
- Training
- Trains itself, natively
- The first model in the world to do so.
- Availability
- Private beta
- By invitation. Not publicly available.
