Krafton AI Open-Sources Raon-1 Mini: A 30B MoE with 4B Active Parameters Matching Muse Glimmer on Coding Autonomy
Krafton AI, the research division of global gaming giant Krafton, officially announced the open-weights release of Raon-1 mini under Apache 2.0. Pretrained from scratch, Raon-1 mini features a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 30 billion total parameters and only 4 billion active parameters per token. The release is accompanied by a dedicated DFlash speculative drafting model and a live interactive playground. Internal evaluations reveal that Raon-1 mini matches Meta's Muse Glimmer across agentic tool-use and coding benchmarks while requiring substantially lower VRAM and sustaining lower generation latency.

Key Takeaways
- Krafton AI released Raon-1 mini under Apache 2.0, architecting a 30B total / 4B active parameter sparse MoE model
- Trained entirely from scratch, matching Meta's Muse Glimmer across agentic coding and multi-turn tool orchestration
- Bundled with a dedicated DFlash draft model for high-throughput speculative decoding on consumer-grade workstations
- Accompanied by a live public evaluation playground, providing a viable open backbone for local gaming and coding copilots
