K2: a Fully Reproducible Large Language Model Outperforming Llama 2 70B using 35% less compute
LLM360 demystifies the training recipe used for Llama 2 - 70B with K2.
About K2:
- 65 billion parameter LLM
- Tokens: 1.4T
- Languages: English
- Models Released: base, chat model
- Trained in 2 stages
- License: Apache 2.0
K2 was developed as a collaboration between MBZUAI, Petuum, and LLM360.
LLM360 Model Performance and Evaluation Collection
The LLM360 Performance and Evaluation Collection is a robust evaluations set consisting of general and domain specific evaluations to assess model knowledge and function. Evaluations include standard best practice benchmarks, medical, math, and coding knowledge. More about the evaluations can be found here.

About LLM360
LLM360 is an initiative for comprehensive and fully open-sourced LLMs, where all training details, model checkpoints, intermediate results, and additional analyses are made available to the community. Our goal is to advance the field by inviting the community to deepen the understanding of LLMs together. As the first step of the project LLM360, we release all intermediate model checkpoints, our fully-prepared pre-training dataset, all source code and configurations, and training details. We are committed to continually pushing the boundaries of LLMs through this open-source effort.
