We've did some updates to Banaxi-Tech/TTS-Arena and now, everyone who uses the TTS Arena alot will get featured in our Klein TTS Release. Using it REALLY helps us alot so please use it.
Updates on the sizes: Klein TTS Flash Lite with 0.4M parameters, Klein TTS Flash with 1.7M parameters, Klein TTS Pro with 13M parameters and Ultra with 21M.
BananaMind 3 is going to be an comeback. Sorry for the BGA things ( i genuinely didnt know about nsa existing and yes I used aiiii) Were going to use our BananaMind 2.1 Unified architecture with some changes + NSA and some other stuff.
saicr have found a very interesting "thing" we call ADN via interpretabillity. It appears on EVERY prompt sent to the model. More on that later. Also I made a X account follow it for more updates: @banaxitech
klein-ml have finished stage 1 of KV1 1.2B, we don't think we will need additional stages.
KV1 2.6B is near the midpoint of training, going well so far, its going to be our most agentic model yet.
We have released Klein Code Bench klein-ml/klein-code-bench, a benchmark testing whether models can build complete projects from scratch. It contains a easy, intermediate, hard and max subset.
Here are some benchmarks of the current KV1 1.2B
It retains 75.8% of FP16 intelligence.
We are also announcing that we at
klein-ml are working on Klein 24B A2B which will be our first model featuring ternary weight quantization.
We're going to take some models, do a bit of continued training on them and QAT them for only a 2 bit KV cache. And because of what happened with BGA, and this is also kind of some research stuff, here's what we're going to change: We're going to always, before we release how and make any claims, release our results. We also would like (idk if we can) to have some external reviewers before releasing them, I'M talking to YOU @AtAndDev and @mithulaartigala And we're going to properly cite other research.
The models we are going to release is: KV1 1.2B, based on LFM 2.5 1.2B Instruct KV1 2.6B, based on LFM 2.5 2.6B Instruct KV1 4B, based on Qwen3.5 4B.
If we get enough compute, we may also train: KV1 9B
And if you guys want to a ~27B model, you guys decide which, either on LFM 2.5 24B A2B, Qwen3.8 27B, or Qwen3.6 35B A3B.
Our goal is to get 2 bit, at 4 bit quality.
Here's an image of our current progress, KV1 is at 3 bit, not 4 bit, but it will improve!
