# K2-Horizon-375B-A23B-FP8
[Training Code](https://github.com/LLM360/xllm) - [Evaluation Code](https://github.com/LLM360/Eval360-V2) - [Pretraining Data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/IFM/K2-Horizon-Pretrain-Data) - [Midtraining Data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/IFM/K2-Horizon-Midtrain-Data)
> [!NOTE]
> This repository contains an FP8-quantized version of [IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B](https://huggingface.co/IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B).
>
> Only the routed-expert linear layers are quantized to FP8:
> - **Weights**: static FP8, one scale per 128*128 block.
> - **Activations**: dynamic FP8, one scale per 1*128 group along the input-channel dim.
>
> All other linear layers (attention, shared experts, routers, the first 3 dense layers, and lm_head) are kept in BF16.
>
> The FP8 model performs closely in line with the original BF16 model on our evaluations, while reducing memory footprint and enabling faster inference on FP8-capable hardware.
>
> **Serving note**: the routed experts' intermediate size (1792) is not splittable into whole 128-wide quantization blocks at the usual tensor-parallel sizes (TP=4, TP=8), so expert parallelism is required.
K2-Horizon-375B-A23B is the flagship of the K2-Horizon family: a sparse Mixture-of-Experts model that stores 375B parameters and runs 23B per token, with a 512K context window. We have released the final checkpoint; intermediate checkpoints, along with the data and the training code, will be released.

</p>
## K2-Horizon-375B-A23B Highlights
- **Frontier-class agentic performance.** On agentic tool use, terminal, and long-horizon workflow benchmarks it matches or beats open-weight MoE models up to 2.6× its size and is competitive with closed frontier models (see [Benchmark Results](#benchmark-results)).
- **512K context.** Native 524,288-token context from the midtraining stages onward.
- **Intermediate checkpoints.** Intermediate checkpoints will be released so capability changes can be studied across training rather than at a single checkpoint.
- **Fully open.** Training data/recipe and the training code will be made public.

## Quickstart
### Serving
vLLM, recipe at [recipes.vllm.ai/IFM](https://recipes.vllm.ai/IFM):
```shell
vllm serve IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B \
--revision main \
--model-impl transformers \
--tensor-parallel-size 8 \
--enable-expert-parallel \
--trust-remote-code \
--dtype bfloat16 \
--max-model-len 131072 \
--reasoning-parser k2_horizon \
--tool-call-parser k2_horizon \
--enable-auto-tool-choice
```
SGLang recipe validated on 8× H200 in the [SGLang K2 Horizon cookbook](https://docs.sglang.io/cookbook/autoregressive/IFM/K2-Horizon):
```shell
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
--model-path IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B \
--revision main \
--tp 8 \
--ep 8 \
--dtype bfloat16 \
--attention-backend fa3 \
--model-loader-extra-config '{"enable_multithread_load":false}' \
--reasoning-parser k2_horizon \
--tool-call-parser k2_horizon \
--host 0.0.0.0 --port 30000
```
### API Usage
> [!Tip]
> Recommended settings: `reasoning_effort="high"`, `temperature=1.0`, `top_p=0.95`, and at least 32,768 output tokens.
> Reasoning depth is selected per request through `chat_template_kwargs`. Thinking is returned in `reasoning_content` and the answer in `content`.
```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1", api_key="EMPTY")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain the result step by step."}],
temperature=1.0,
top_p=0.95,
max_tokens=32768,
extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"reasoning_effort": "high", "tool_call_format": "xml"}},
)
message = response.choices[0].message
print("Reasoning:", getattr(message, "reasoning_content", None))
print("Answer:", message.content)
```
Our model supports multiple tool calls formats, which can be changed with `chat_template_kwargs`. The supported values are `json`, `xml`, and `xml_typed` . The default is `xml`. Keep `--tool-call-parser k2_horizon` enabled to parse the selected format.
### Transformers
Validated with Transformers 4.57.6, PyTorch 2.13.0, Safetensors 0.8.0.
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "IFM/K2-Horizon-375B-A23B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id, device_map="auto", dtype="bfloat16", low_cpu_mem_usage=True, trust_remote_code=True
)
inputs = tokenizer("Explain why long-context evaluation is difficult.", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
inputs.pop("token_type_ids", None)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=32768, temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
## Best Practices
1. **Reasoning effort: always `high`.** All reported results use high reasoning effort. Pass `{"chat_template_kwargs": {"reasoning_effort": "high"}}` on every request.
2. **Sampling parameters.** `temperature=1.0`, `top_p=0.95`.
3. **Serving.** Use the validated SGLang recipe above: BF16, TP=8 on one 8× H200 node, FlashAttention-3, with multithreaded weight loading disabled. Full recipes for every K2-Horizon size, with measured H200 latency and throughput, are in the [SGLang cookbook](https://docs.sglang.io/cookbook/autoregressive/IFM/K2-Horizon) and the [vLLM recipe](https://recipes.vllm.ai/IFM).
4. **Parsers.** Enable the `k2_horizon` reasoning parser for chat, and add the `k2_horizon` tool-call parser for agent use. Leave both off for plain completion-style generation.
