About

What Mellum2-A is

[!Note] Use this checkpoint as the starting point for your own fine-tuning, alignment, or domain adaptation on top of the long-context base. For instruction-following or reasoning tasks out of the box, use Instruct or Thinking instead.

Mellum2 Base Highlights

Mellum2 Base is a long-context pretrained causal language model trained by JetBrains.

The model uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 64 experts and activates 8 experts per token. It uses a combination of sliding-window and full attention layers, with a context length of 131,072 tokens.

This is the long-context base, produced from Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Base-Pretrain by a layer-selective YaRN extension stage that re-maps RoPE frequencies on the global-attention layers only. It is the shared starting point for the released Instruct and Thinking variants.

Quickstart

Text-Only Input (base model — use the completions endpoint, not chat)

from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

completion = client.completions.create(
    model="JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Base",
    prompt="def fibonacci(n):\n    ",
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
    },
)
print("Completion:", completion)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys mellum2-a for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (mellum2-a below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"mellum2-a","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 3M free tokens every 30 days with every new account.
