Solar Open 2 grows to 250B parameters while cutting total training tokens

- Solar Open 2 is described as a 250B sovereign LLM from South Korea, and the author says it is 2.5× larger than Solar Open 1 while using fewer total training tokens.
- The post highlights a four-stage post-training recipe: supervised fine-tuning, multi-domain RL, specialist training, and multi-teacher on-policy distillation.
- The paper also claims selective weight transfer from Solar Open 1, a 10T-token general pre-training stage, a 1T intensive stage, and Korean officework data curation for domain-specific performance.
