The company behind PUBG just trained its own 29B Local AI model from scratch.
And the architecture is interesting.
KRAFTON’s new Raon-1 mini is …
🧠 28.8B total parameters
⚡ only 4.3B active/token
💾 official Q4_K_M → 19.7GB
📚 262K context
🔓 Apache 2.0
🤖 reasoning + agent/tool use
18 of its 25 layers use fixed-state linear attention.
Only 7 layers maintain a growing KV cache.
KRAFTON says those layers use only ~8 KiB of BF16 KV per token.
So even at the full 262K context, that’s roughly:
👉 ~2GB of growing KV cache before other runtime/state overhead.
And in KRAFTON’s reported comparisons, this new 30B-A4B model beats Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on 11 of 18 listed benchmarks.
Lots of new models coming for Qwen3.6-35B recently.
⚠️ Preview release. KRAFTON’s benchmark results. Upstream llama.cpp support is still pending and KRAFTON provides its own branch today.
