Only 3B parameters are activated during operation.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.deepseek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DeepSeek<\/a>Sparse Attention (DSA)<\/strong>The technology achieves 256K lossless ultra-long context processing and can directly parse hours of complete video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">core competencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical architecture of Keye-VL-2.0 is built around three core breakthroughs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.deepseek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DeepSeek<\/a>Sparse Attention (DSA)<\/strong>: Keye-VL-2.0 is the first production-level visual language model to integrate DSA into the GQA architecture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Native resolution visual encoding<\/strong>: Adopt native resolution encoding strategy to avoid the loss of details caused by traditional scaling and ensure accurate spatio-temporal positioning capabilities in high-resolution videos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross-modal multi-teacher online policy distillation (MOPD)<\/strong>: Through multi-teacher knowledge distillation + reinforcement learning, it injects multi-task capabilities while preventing catastrophic forgetting, allowing the model to perform well in high-order agent capabilities such as code writing, tool calling, and web search.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benchmark performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the five video understanding benchmarks, Keye-VL-2.0 takes the lead among models of the same scale, and even challenges the closed-source giants on some indicators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LongVideoBench<\/strong>: Ranked first, leading the industry in long video understanding ability<\/li>\n<li><strong>Video-MME-v2<\/strong>: Ranked first, with the best performance in multi-modal video Q&amp;A<\/li>\n<li><strong>TimeLens<\/strong>: Fine-grained time positioning capability surpasses Gemini 3 Flash<\/li>\n<li><strong>mathematical reasoning<\/strong>: Remain competitive among visual language models of the same scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth emphasizing that, with 30B total parameters and only 3B activation parameters, Keye-VL-2.0 not only surpasses 200B+ open source models (such as Qwen3-VL-235B) in time understanding capabilities, but also demonstrates excellent agent collaboration capabilities in multiple rounds of tool interaction and status tracking tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Highlights: Four-Phase Pre-Training Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keye-VL-2.0 adopts a unique four-stage pre-training strategy: from basic visual language alignment, to large-scale multi-modal data injection, to sparse attention special training, and finally to logical trajectory strategy optimization through reinforcement learning (Context-RL + Video-RL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User experience\/limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong>: Apache 2.0 open source protocol, fully open for commercial use; 30B MoE architecture with only 3B activation parameters, extremely low inference cost; adapted to mainstream frameworks such as Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker Model Runner, etc.; natively equipped with Agent capabilities (search, tool invocation, code writing); open sourced simultaneously on Hugging Face and GitHub, the community ecosystem can be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>limitations<\/strong>: As a video understanding specialty model, it is not as good as a general-purpose large model of the same scale in pure text tasks; the 30B parameter level requires certain GPU resources (although there are fewer activation parameters, the total parameter amount still requires corresponding video memory); Kuaishou's influence in the domestic open source community is still being established compared to Alibaba, Deep Search, etc.; Agent capabilities (code, tools, search) are still in the first generation, and there is a gap with specialized programming agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>\u7ef4\u5ea6<\/th><th>Score<\/th><th>evaluate<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>functional completeness<\/td><td>8.5 \/ 10<\/td><td>Video understanding + Agent capabilities + tool invocation, complete function matrix;
