Solar Mini
Upstage AI
Solar Mini is a pre‑trained large language model that delivers GPT‑3.5‑comparable responses with 2.5× faster inference while staying under 30 billion parameters. It achieved first place on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard in December 2023 by combining a 32‑layer Llama 2 architecture, initialized with high‑quality Mistral 7B weights, with an innovative “depth up‑scaling” (DUS) approach that deepens the model efficiently without adding complex modules. After DUS, continued pretraining restores and enhances performance, and instruction tuning in a QA format, especially for Korean, refines its ability to follow user prompts, while alignment tuning ensures its outputs meet human or advanced AI preferences. Solar Mini outperforms competitors such as Llama 2, Mistral 7B, Ko‑Alpaca, and KULLM across a variety of benchmarks, proving that compact size need not sacrifice capability.Starting Price: $0.1 per 1M tokens -
