Kev 9B is the largest current Kev adapter variant. Its LoRA adapter and pointer head sit on a 9-billion-parameter base model and return calibrated Choice, Noul, and Score probabilities for typed questions. Like the smaller variants, it makes the decision in one pass.
The family overview names L40S and H100 as target hardware. The model card validates Kev 9B up to 8,192 tokens, while the server accepts states up to 65,536 tokens; that does not establish unchanged model accuracy. The smaller adapter variants are Kev 4B and Kev 0.8B.
