LG AI Research announced on November 9 that developers, startups, businesses and research institutions can use the K-EXAONE 2.5 API at no cost by obtaining an API key through its platform. [1][2]
The company describes K-EXAONE 2.5 as a technology-validation model that received additional training based on an earlier version. It says internal evaluations using public datasets found competitive performance on benchmarks for task automation, software development, web browsing and workplace problem-solving. [1]
Those results are company-reported, not independent evaluations, and benchmark scores alone do not establish how the model will perform in real-world use. [1][2]
