Moonshot, the maker of Kimi K2, just released a technical paper diving into the model's development! Kimi K2 is the best non-reasoning model: let's dive into a critical part of why the model is so good🧵 https://t.co/MIm47F8Qk7
Kimi 2's paper is out. Kimi 1.5 was also a great paper, but all the attention was taken by DeepSeek R1 back in time. Kimi 1.5 also had an interesting approach to RL back in time (and before Dr. GRPO which improves GRPO by removing the division by standard deviation (which https://t.co/sHwEhQSRiX
Kimi put out their paper :) https://t.co/bnsYlaYEPi
Moonshot, the developer behind the Kimi K2 model, has released a detailed technical report outlining the advancements and methodologies employed in the model's development. The report highlights the introduction of the MuonClip optimizer, a large-scale agentic data synthesis pipeline that generates tool-use demonstrations through both simulated and real-world environments, and a reinforcement learning (RL) framework that integrates RLVR with a self-critique rubric reward mechanism. The MuonClip optimizer demonstrated stable training after 70,000 iterations, with the QK-clip component becoming inactive without any loss in performance, a notable achievement at smaller scales. The Kimi K2 model is recognized as a leading non-reasoning model, building upon prior iterations such as Kimi 1.5, which featured innovative RL approaches predating improvements like Dr. GRPO. Additionally, Kimi K2 has been successfully deployed as a transformers.js application on Hugging Face, facilitating easier integration and use. The technical report has been well received within the AI community, emphasizing the model's design and performance improvements.
