Solar Open2 250B — Nota INT4

Nota AI presents a 4-bit quantized release of Upstage 's Solar Open2 250B , produced with Nota AI's proprietary quantization technology specialized for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models.

Highlights

• W4A16 (weight-only INT4) — group_size=128 , packed in the auto_round (GPTQ-compatible) format. Formatted with AutoRound for direct, out-of-the-box serving in vLLM .
• Nota AI's proprietary MoE quantization framework. This release is built upon a suite of techniques developed by Nota AI to preserve model quality under aggressive low-bit quantization of MoE architectures:
  • A MoE-specialized calibration-dataset construction method, which achieved 1st place across all tracks at the NVIDIA Nemotron Hackathon.
  • DREAM-MoE and SRA-MoE , two quantization algorithms proposed by Nota AI (published at the ICML 2026 Workshop on AdaptFM ), which preserve MoE routing decisions and align expert-routing behavior throughout the quantization process.

Key requirements for Derivative AI Models (create / train / fine-tune / distill / improve using Solar Open 2):

• Naming: prefix your model name with "Solar" (e.g., Solar-MyModel-v1 ).

• Attribution: prominently display "Built with Solar" in related public-facing materials.

• Notice: include a copy of the Upstage Solar License with your derivative model.
