The current Upstage models explained

Solar Mini 4

Language model · Sep 22, 2026

Solar Mini 4 combines a 512K context window with an MoE model that activates just 3 of its 35 billion parameters per token. For local deployment, the provider specifies a single H100 with 80 GB of memory when using quantized weights.

Solar Pro 4

Language model · Aug 11, 2026

Solar Pro 4 is designed for verifiable work products rather than short chat answers. Upstage names documents, terminal tasks, web research, and multi-step tool use as core cases. It offers a 512K-token context, up to 128K output tokens, and English, Korean, and Japanese support; Solar Pro 3 is the previous generation.

Solar Pro 3

Language model · January 2026

Solar Pro 3 combines 102 billion total parameters with about 12 billion active per token and a 128K context. Upstage adds tool calling and stronger instruction following for multi-step work and reports roughly doubled agentic scores over Solar Pro 2, including 72.3 versus 36.0 on Tau2-all.

Solar Pro 2

Language model · July 2025

Solar Pro 2 remains a dense 31-billion-parameter checkpoint that combines reasoning, tool use, and multilingual work with a 64K-token context. Upstage highlights multi-step and Korean use cases.

Solar Mini

Language model · January 2024

Solar Mini stands out through depth up-scaling rather than a simple increase in parameter count. Upstage enlarged a 32-layer Llama 2 structure, then added continued pretraining plus instruction and alignment tuning. The result is a compact text checkpoint with 10.7 billion parameters.

SOLAR 10.7B Instruct v1.0

Language model · Dec 14, 2023

SOLAR 10.7B Instruct v1.0 is the version of Upstage's SOLAR-10.7B-v1.0 fine-tuned for single-turn conversation, with 10.7 billion parameters. The base model is created through depth up-scaling, where Mistral 7B weights are integrated into the enlarged layers and pre-training then continues.

SOLAR 10.7B v1.0

Language model · December 2023

SOLAR 10.7B v1.0 is Upstage’s compact open checkpoint, and its training method is the main reason to study it. Depth Upscaling changes the architecture of a 7B starting model, expands its layers, and continues pretraining with additional data. Upstage used the approach to target more capacity below the then-common 30B class without releasing an equally large dense checkpoint.
