AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — SK Telecom
A.X K2 is a foundation model from SK Telecom, released on July 29, 2026, built under the Korean government’s Sovereign AI foundation model project and trained from scratch in FP8. SK Telecom says it succeeds the 519B-parameter A.X K1 with stronger math, science, Korean-language and long-context reasoning.
Model B — Upstage
Solar Open 2 is an open-weight hybrid-attention mixture-of-experts model from Upstage, released on July 22, 2026 for agentic use (office productivity, document-intensive work and coding), with official support for Korean, English and Japanese. Upstage’s closed-beta API for it ran from July 8 to August 12, 2026; the open weights remain available.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
