Solar Open 2 250B is an open-weight language model by Upstage with 250 billion total parameters, of which only 15 billion are activated per token thanks to its Mixture-of-Experts architecture. It uses a hybrid-attention design (linear attention combined with softmax attention, without positional encoding) that enables a context window of up to 1 million tokens with efficient inference. The model was developed as part of Korea's government-backed "Sovereign AI" initiative and is optimized for agentic tasks such as tool use, multi-step reasoning, and coding. It officially supports Korean, English, and Japanese, and is available under the commercially usable Upstage Solar License.
