Kakao Open-Sources AI Decision Model, Claims Responses in 0.04 Seconds

At a glance

Kakao has released its in-house decision-support model, Kanana-2-v-decide, on Hugging Face. The company says each request takes an average of 0.04 seconds or less to process. The model produces results in fixed formats such as probabilities and scores rather than sentences, so services can use them right away.

Key points

1. 1

   The model does not answer in sentences. It produces decisions in the form of probabilities, choices, and scores.

2. 2

   It is useful for AI agents that work through multiple steps, helping them quickly choose their next task.

3. 3

   It understands text and images together, so it can be used for judgments such as checking photos of damaged products or handling exchange requests.

4. 4

   Kakao says the model outperformed comparison models in its own tests, but since the Korean evaluation data was created by Kakao itself, outside verification is needed.

Why it matters

If AI services can make decisions quickly and cheaply, the speed and cost of everyday services such as customer support could change significantly.
