Introducing K2 Horizon, a new family of fully open AI models from the Institute of Foundation Models at MBZUAI. Spanning six models from 0.9B to 375B parameters, K2 Horizon is designed to support AI at different scales, from compact, on-device applications to advanced reasoning and agentic systems.
At the heart of K2 Horizon is a commitment to open research.
Every model is released with its weights, code, training data and methodology, giving researchers and developers the ability to inspect the work, reproduce it and build on it.
Today marks the start of the K2 Horizon story and the next chapter in IFM’s work to advance frontier AI through open research.
