- The post introduces Solar Open 2 as a 250B sovereign LLM and says it is aimed at readers who care about LLM architecture.
- The attached figure shows a 48-layer stack repeating a four-layer pattern: one softmax-attention layer plus three linear-attention layers, each paired with MoE blocks.
- It also highlights 320 routed experts, one shared expert, no positional encoding, and a negative-eigenvalue extension in the linear-attention core to improve state tracking.
