Typhoon2 8B Instruct

Llama3.1-Typhoon2-8B-Instruct is a Thai-English instruction-tuned model with 8 billion parameters, built on Llama 3.1. It significantly improves over its base model in Thai reasoning, instruction-following, and function-calling tasks, while maintaining competitive English performance. The model is optimized for bilingual interaction and performs well on Thai-English code-switching, MT-Bench, IFEval, and tool-use benchmarks.

Despite its smaller size, it demonstrates strong generalization across math, coding, and multilingual benchmarks, outperforming comparable 8B models across most Thai-specific tasks. Full benchmark results and methodology are available in the technical report.
