LG AI Research opens a free API for K-EXAONE 2.5
· Aster editorial team
AI-generated imageLG AI Research made K-EXAONE 2.5 available through a free API on its EXAONE platform for developers, startups, companies, and research institutions. The lab describes the model as an update focused on technical verification and agent tasks. Its published results include 74.6 on AutomationBench Openset, 59.2 on SWE-Bench Pro, 78.0 on BrowseComp, and 77.3 on Claw-Eval.
Why it matters
API access lowers the barrier to testing the model without deploying dedicated infrastructure, although the performance figures come from evaluations reported by the lab itself.
For the technical crowd
LG AI Research presents K-EXAONE 2.5 as an updated version of the model announced in August. Access requires a key from the EXAONE API platform.
