# K2-Think (70B): A Fully-Sovereign Reasoning System

📚 [Paper]() - 📝 [Code](https://github.com/LLM360/Reasoning360) - 🏢 [Project Page](https://k2think.ai)

<center><img src="banner.png" alt="k2-think-banner"/></center>

<br>

K2-Think (70B) is a 70 billion parameter open-weights general reasoning model with strong performance in competitive mathematical problem solving built on-top of [K2-V2-Instruct](huggingface.co/LLM360/K2-V2-Instruct), comprising a fully sovereign reasoning system.

# Quickstart

### Serving configurations

We use the following serving configurations:

| Setting | Value |
| - | - |
| Temperature | 1.0 |
| Top-p | 1.0 |
| Top-k | -1 |
| Context Length | 131072 |
| Context Length Extension | 2x using YaRN |
| Chat Template | Default provided in `chat_template.jinja` |

The provided chat template sets the reasoning effort to `high`

### Transformers
You can use `K2-Think (70B)` with Transformers. If you use `transformers.pipeline`, it will apply the chat template automatically. If you use `model.generate` directly, you need to apply the chat template mannually.

The chat template is directly inherited from K2-V2-Instruct, with the default `reasoning_effort` set to `"high"`. The other levels of reasoning effort (`"low"` and `"medium"`) are still available but have not been tested or evaluated. As such, the model's behavior under such settings is not assured to maintain reported performance. 

```python
from transformers import pipeline
import torch

model_id =  "LLM360/K2-Think-70B"

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "what is the next prime number after 2600?"},
]

outputs = pipe(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=131072,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])
```

If you cannot use `tokenizer.apply_chat_template`, you may also pass in these arguments using `extra_body` and `chat_template_kwargs`:

```
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="key"
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="LLM360/K2-Think-70B",
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are K2-Think, a helpful assistant created by Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) Institute of Foundation Models (IFM)."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Solve the 24 game [2, 3, 5, 6]"}
    ],
    extra_body={
        "chat_template_kwargs": {"reasoning_effort": "high"},
    },
)
```

<!-- ## Inference Speed

We deploy K2-THINK (70B) on Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) systems, leveraging the world’s largest processor and speculative decoding to achieve unprecedented inference speeds for our 32B reasoning system.  

| Platform                          | Throughput (tokens/sec) | Example: 32k-token response (time) |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------: | ---------------------------------: |
| **Cerebras WSE (our deployment)** |             **\~2,000** |                         **\~16 s** |
| Typical Cloud Service setup   |                   \~200 |                            \~160 s | -->

<!-- ## Safety Evaluation

Aggregated across four safety dimensions (**Safety-4**):

| Aspect                          | Macro-Avg |
| ------------------------------- | --------: |
| High-Risk Content Refusal       |     0.83 |
| Conversational Robustness       |     0.89 |
| Cybersecurity & Data Protection |     0.56 |
| Jailbreak Resistance            |     0.72 |
| **Safety-4 Macro (avg)**        | **0.75** |

# Terms of Use

We have employed various techniques to reduce bias, harmful outputs, and other risks in the model. While these efforts help improve safety and reliability, the model, like all Large Language Models, may still generate inaccurate, misleading, biased, or otherwise undesirable content. By downloading, using, or interacting with this model, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to the following:

1. **Prohibited Uses**  
   - You may **not** use this model for any **illegal, unlawful, or harmful activities**, including but not limited to fraud, abuse, harassment, privacy violations, or the creation/dissemination of malicious content.  

2. **User Responsibility**  
   - You are solely responsible for how you use the model and for any outcomes that result from its use.  
   - The authors and institutions involved in releasing this model do **not** accept liability for any consequences arising from its use.  

3. **No Warranty**  
   - The model is provided **“as is” without any warranties or guarantees**.
