Kanana-1.5-15.7B-A3B, which has sparse architecture, delivers capabilities comparable to the Kanana-1.5-8B dense model while utilizing only 37% of the FLOPS per token, making it a highly inference-efficient and cost-effective solution for real-world applications. Furthermore, Kanana-1.5-15.7B-A3B is powered by our newly enhanced post-training strategy, which includes on-policy distillation followed by reinforcement learning.[!Note] Neither the pre-training nor the post-training data includes Kakao user data.
