What is EXAONE 4.0?
EXAONE 4.0 is a self-developed hybrid inference model launched by LG AI Research in South Korea. The model integrates general natural language processing and advanced inference capabilities, supporting Korean, English, and Spanish. The model is available in two versions: a 32B professional version based on multiple national certification exams, suitable for highly specialized fields; and a 1.2B edge version, which is smaller, higher-performance, and supports local operation, suitable for scenarios with high privacy and security requirements. EXAONE 4.0 has demonstrated excellent performance in challenging international benchmark tests, such as MMLU-Pro (81.8 points) and AIME 2025 (85.3 points), showcasing its powerful ability to handle complex tasks.
