FRESHNESS & VERIFICATION

Current evidence, dated honestly.

A verification check does not pretend the model changed. Open Model Weights updates the verification date after a real primary-source check, while factual-update dates move only when retained source evidence changes.

CONFLICT INTELLIGENCE

Claims stay attached to evidence class.

No active conflict · 1 comparison signalSource values differ in scope, granularity or claim strength; OMW does not overstate those differences as contradictions.

MODEL INTELLIGENCE · SOURCE-FIRST

What is K2-Horizon-MoVA-36B-A4B?

OMW evidence review11 Oct 2026

Open Model Weights records K2-Horizon-MoVA-36B-A4B as a 37.4448B-parameter text open-weight model in the K2-Horizon family, with Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) listed as the developer. The checked source repository provides 49 recognized weight artifacts, format evidence for Safetensors and a verified context window of 524,288 tokens. Values that are not evidenced in the checked sources remain explicitly undisclosed or unknown.

The repository declares apache-2.0. Commercial use allowed under apache-2.0 conditions. Open Model Weights reports the checked license evidence and classification; this is not legal advice.

No base model is declared in the checked standard lineage metadata, so Open Model Weights does not infer one. Training recipe status: training-described-in-model-card; data disclosure status: dataset-metadata-declared.

LINEAGE & PROVENANCE

What the checked sources disclose — and what they do not.

Open Model Weights does not infer a hidden base model or training corpus when the checked sources do not declare one.

RUNTIME SIGNALS

Compatibility claims stay attached to their evidence level.

Declared and model-card-mentioned runtimes are discovery signals. They are not treated as Open Model Weights runtime tests unless explicitly measured.

Open Model Weights separates model-repository evidence from external runtime-release evidence. An external support statement does not change the official model repository's weight formats and does not imply an Open Model Weights inference benchmark.
