MBZUAI Launches K2 Think V2: UAE’s Fully Sovereign, Next-Generation Reasoning System

G42, Cerebras Systems and the Institute of Foundation Models at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), today announced the release of K2 Think V2. This latest 70-billion parameter advanced reasoning system reasoning system is now built on the K2-V2 base model, IFM’s strongest fully frontier-class open-source foundation model that’s purpose built for K2 Think.

This launch marks a major milestone for the UAE’s technological sovereignty. While earlier versions of K2 Think were open and widely accessible, K2 Think V2 (70B) is the first to be open from end-to-end; from pre-training data and curation through post-training, reasoning alignment, and evaluation. The result is a reasoning system that is both more transparent and more powerful.

By upgrading the base model to K2-V2, K2 Think V2 unlocks a new level of performance, openness, and independence, reinforcing the UAE’s leadership in building frontier-grade AI systems that are globally accessible and fully sovereign.

Why K2 Think V2 is Different

K2 Think V2 marks a step change in open reasoning systems, shifting from a reasoning model layered on top of a foundation to one built directly into it. Inheriting K2-V2’s long-context capabilities and full training transparency, it now operates as a fully sovereign system end-to-end.
