Kanana 1.5

Kanana 1.5, a newly introduced version of the Kanana model family, presents substantial enhancements in coding, mathematics, and function calling capabilities over the previous version, enabling broader application to more complex real-world problems. This new version now can handle up to 32K tokens length natively and up to 128K tokens using YaRN, allowing the model to maintain coherence when handling extensive documents or engaging in extended conversations. Furthermore, Kanana 1.5 delivers more natural and accurate conversations through a refined post-training process.

Neither the pre-training nor the post-training data includes Kakao user data.
