Mellum2 Base

Use this checkpoint as the starting point for your own fine-tuning, alignment, or domain adaptation on top of the long-context base. For instruction-following or reasoning tasks out of the box, use Instruct or Thinking instead.

Mellum2 Base Highlights

Mellum2 Base is a long-context pretrained causal language model trained by JetBrains.

The model uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 64 experts and activates 8 experts per token. It uses a combination of sliding-window and full attention layers, with a context length of 131,072 tokens.

This is the long-context base, produced from Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Base-Pretrain by a layer-selective YaRN extension stage that re-maps RoPE frequencies on the global-attention layers only. It is the shared starting point for the released Instruct and Thinking variants.

Quickstart

Text-Only Input (base model — use the completions endpoint, not chat)

from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

completion = client.completions.create(
 model="JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Base",
 prompt="def fibonacci(n):\n ",
 max_tokens=81920,
 temperature=0.6,
 top_p=0.95,
 extra_body={
 "top_k": 20,
 },
)
print("Completion:", completion)
