Krafton AI unveils raon-1 mini model, competing with meta's muse glimmer

KRAFTON AI, the artificial intelligence division of South Korean game company KRAFTON, has released a preview of its Raon-1 mini model, which is trained from scratch. The model, with a parameter range of 30B-A4B, uses a mixture of experts architecture and linear attention, supporting speculative decoding. It is available under the Apache 2.0 license and offers a limited-time free API trial on its website. The Raon-1 mini focuses on Korean while maintaining strong English performance. KRAFTON AI claims the preview version matches Meta's Muse Glimmer 30B in programming and agent tasks, but with faster speed and higher memory efficiency. It also supports natural conversation. The release comes as KRAFTON AI prepares to launch its full version and larger models in the near future.
