A.X-4.0-Light

A.X 4.0 Family Highlights

SK Telecom released A.X 4.0 (pronounced "A dot X"), a large language model (LLM) optimized for Korean-language understanding and enterprise deployment, on July 03, 2025. Built on the open-source Qwen2.5 model, A.X 4.0 has been further trained with large-scale Korean datasets to deliver outstanding performance in real-world business environments.

• Superior Korean Proficiency: Achieved a score of 78.3 on KMMLU, the leading benchmark for Korean-language evaluation and a Korean-specific adaptation of MMLU, outperforming GPT-4o (72.5).
• Deep Cultural Understanding: Scored 83.5 on CLIcK, a benchmark for Korean cultural and contextual comprehension, surpassing GPT-4o (80.2).
• Efficient Token Usage: A.X 4.0 uses approximately 33% fewer tokens than GPT-4o for the same Korean input, enabling more cost-effective and efficient processing.
• Deployment Flexibility: Offered in both a 72B-parameter standard model (A.X 4.0) and a 7B lightweight version (A.X 4.0 Light).
• Long Context Handling: Supports up to 131,072 tokens, allowing comprehension of lengthy documents and conversations. (Lightweight model supports up to 16,384 tokens length)

🚀 Quickstart

with HuggingFace Transformers

• transformers>=4.46.0 or the latest version is required to use skt/A.X-4.0-Light

pip install transformers>=4.46.0

Example Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "skt/A.X-4.0-Light"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
model.eval()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "당신은 사용자가 제공하는 영어 문장들을 한국어로 번역하는 AI 전문가입니다."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "The first human went into space and orbited the Earth on April 12, 1961."},
]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_new_tokens=128,
        do_sample=False,
    )

len_input_prompt = len(input_ids[0])
response = tokenizer.decode(output[0][len_input_prompt:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
# Output:
# 1961년 4월 12일, 최초의 인간이 우주로 나가 지구를 공전했습니다.

with vLLM

• vllm>=v0.6.4.post1 or the latest version is required to use tool-use function

pip install vllm>=v0.6.4.post1
# if you don't want to activate tool-use function, just commenting out below vLLM option
VLLM_OPTION="--enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser hermes"
vllm serve skt/A.X-4.0-Light $VLLM_OPTION

Example Usage

from openai import OpenAI

def call(messages, model):
    completion = client.chat.completions.create(
        model=model,
        messages=messages,
    )
    print(completion.choices[0].message)

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="api_key"
)
model = "skt/A.X-4.0-Light"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "에어컨 여름철 적정 온도는? 한줄로 답변해줘"}]
call(messages, model)
# Output:
# ChatCompletionMessage(content='여름철 적정 에어컨 온도는 일반적으로 24-26도입니다.', refusal=None, role='assistant', audio=None, function_call=None, tool_calls=[], reasoning_content=None)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the appropriate temperature for air conditioning in summer? Response in a single sentence."}]
call(messages, model)
# Output:
# ChatCompletionMessage(content='The appropriate temperature for air conditioning in summer generally ranges from 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C) for comfort and energy efficiency.', refusal=None, role='assistant', audio=None, function_call=None, tool_calls=[], reasoning_content=None)
