Solar Mini
Upstage's small bilingual Korean-English language model, served via AWS.
About
Solar Mini is Upstage's small language model, launched in March 2024 through AWS via SageMaker JumpStart and AWS Marketplace. It targets the Korean market first: a compact model fluent in Korean and English, with Thai and Japanese support planned at launch, built for businesses that want to build and scale generative AI applications without running frontier-scale infrastructure.
Solar Mini is a commercial, proprietary offering rather than an open-weight release: access is through Upstage's API and AWS cloud services. Its significance is regional: it was one of the first serious attempts at a Korean-first small model delivered as a managed cloud product, and it anchors Upstage's broader Solar model family.
