Next 2 Fast is a state-of-the-art 4-billion parameter Multimodal Vision-Language Model (VLM) designed for high-performance reasoning across languages and modalities.
Developed by Lamapi, a leading AI research lab in Türkiye, this model represents a leap in efficiency, bridging the gap between massive commercial models and accessible, open-source intelligence. Built upon the Gemma 3 architecture and refined with our proprietary SFT and DPO techniques, Next 2 Fast is not just a language model—it is a global reasoning engine that sees, understands, and communicates fluently in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, and 25+ other languages.
Why Next 2 Fast?
⚡ Global Performance: Tuned for complex reasoning in English and multilingual contexts, outperforming larger models.
👁️ Vision & Text: Seamlessly processes images and text to generate code, descriptions, and analysis.
🚀 Unmatched Speed: Optimized for low-latency inference, making it ~2x faster than previous generations.
🔋 Efficient Deployment: Runs smoothly on consumer hardware (8GB VRAM) using 4-bit/8-bit quantization.
🏆 Benchmark Performance
Next 2 Fast delivers flagship-level performance in a compact 4B size, proving that efficiency does not require sacrificing intelligence.
