# Khazri 2 Mini — 100M

**Khazri 2 Mini** is a compact, open-weight decoder-only language model in the Khazri family. It combines a modern LLaMA-style Transformer with a custom Byte-Level BPE tokenizer and a 2B-token English training corpus.

## Training data

Khazri 2 Mini is trained on a custom, pretokenized **English-only** corpus with a target size of **2,000,000,000 tokens**. The corpus is packed into **1,953,125 sequences** of 1,024 tokens and stored in Arrow shards with source identifiers.

The documented token budget is:

| Source | Token budget | Share | Role |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| [Cosmopedia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceTB/cosmopedia) | 850M | 42.5% | General English educational and synthetic-text coverage |
| [The Stack v2 Dedup](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2-dedup) | 450M | 22.5% | Code from Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, C, Go and Rust |
| [TinyStories](https://huggingface.co/datasets/roneneldan/TinyStories) | 300M | 15.0% | Simple narrative language |
| [LIMA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GAIR/lima) | 50M | 2.5% | Instruction and conversation examples |
| SYNAPSE synthetic instruction data | 350M | 17.5% | Arithmetic, context, abstention, web-needed, identity, symbolic-math and general-assistant routes |

The listed values are the documented source-token budget. The release manifest should be used for the final source counts of a particular weight revision.

### Data processing and safeguards

- Only English text is retained for this corpus. Short records are excluded, very long records are capped, and language/character checks are applied before tokenization.
- The code portion is limited to the eight languages listed above.
- The training mix combines general English, narrative, code, instruction and route-aware synthetic material. This preserves general capabilities while teaching specialized SYNAPSE behaviours.
- Checkpoint evaluation should cover general Q&A, code, arithmetic, context extraction, abstention and current-information requests. A route-specific gain should not be accepted if it degrades general behaviour.
- Original source datasets remain subject to their own terms and licences. Consult their source pages and the model repository licence before use.

## Tokenizer

Khazri 2 Mini uses a 32,768-token custom Byte-Level BPE tokenizer. It reserves structural whitespace, chat and SYNAPSE route tokens as single tokens, preserves indentation for code, and uses single-digit splitting to make arithmetic strings more explicit to the model.

## Installation

~~~bash
pip install -U torch transformers accelerate safetensors
~~~

## Quick start

~~~python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

MODEL_ID = "Yusiko/khazri-2-mini"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_ID,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

prompt = "Write a concise explanation of a small language model."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.inference_mode():
    output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=160,
        do_sample=False,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )

print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

## Khazri 2 Preview comparison

The following table reports the project-provided compact-model comparison for **Khazri 2 Preview**, not Khazri 2 Mini. Higher is better for every listed task.

| Model | Parameters | Context extraction | Mixed speed/proxy | Arithmetic | Word problems | Abstention |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| **Khazri 2 Preview** | ~250M | **100%** | **62%** | **99%** | **99%** | **97.4%** |
| Gemma 3 | 270M | 100% | 36% | 0% | 0% | 18% |
| Qwen 2.5 | 0.5B | 89% | 45% | 14% | 28% | 46% |
| Pythia | 160M | 22% | 10% | 0% | 2% | 1% |

These are internal preview results on selected compact-model tests. They are not independently audited and should not be used to make claims about Khazri 2 Mini. Publish prompts, model revisions, scoring rules, hardware and complete evaluation assets with any future benchmark announcement.

## Responsible use

Khazri 2 Mini can produce incorrect, incomplete or biased outputs. Evaluate it on your own task, verify material claims and keep a human in the loop for consequential decisions. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for legal, medical, financial, hiring, safety or other high-impact decisions.

## Roadmap

Khazri 2 Mini is part of the second Khazri generation. The next planned stage is **Khazri 3**: a larger parameter scale and stronger results.
