11, 2024 – Upstage today announced the release of a preview version of its next-generation large language model (LLM), Solar Pro.
This preview, available as an open-source model with free API access, gives developers and businesses the opportunity to test and provide feedback on the model ahead of its official release in November.
As the flagship model of the Solar LLM series, Solar Pro features 22 billion parameters, more than double the size of its predecessor, Solar Mini.
Despite its increased size, Solar Pro is optimized to run efficiently on a single GPU, thanks to Upstage's proprietary Depth-Up Scaling (DUS) method and advanced data recipe.
This innovation enables Solar Pro to deliver state-of-the-art performance while significantly reducing model size—an essential advantage in the face of rising GPU costs and supply constraints in the AI landscape.
Solar Pro's advanced capabilities have translated to impressive gains in key LLM benchmarks, with an average improvement of 51% compared to Solar Mini.
