📖 Overview
Next2-Air is a highly optimized, lightning-fast 2-Billion parameter Vision-Language Model (VLM) built on the Qwen 3.5-2B architecture. Engineered by Lamapi in Türkiye, the "Air" moniker represents its core philosophy: lightweight, incredibly fast, yet surprisingly capable.
While large models dominate cloud servers, Next2-Air is designed to bring top-tier reasoning and multimodal understanding directly to your local machines, edge devices, and everyday applications. By utilizing specialized instruction-tuning and logical reasoning datasets, we have created a 2B model that thinks deeply, processes images flawlessly, and speaks native Turkish and English.
⚡ Highlights
📊 Benchmark Performance
Next2-Air (2B) redefines what is possible in the ultra-lightweight category. Through our custom DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) and SFT processes, it shows noticeable improvements over its base model and strongly competes with heavier 3B-4B models.
📝 Text, Reasoning & Instruction Following
👁️ Multimodal & Vision Edge
Next2-Air features a highly capable visual encoder, allowing it to process spatial intelligence, OCR, and document understanding tasks efficiently.
🚀 Quickstart & Usage
Next2-Air is fully compatible with the Hugging Face transformers ecosystem and fast inference engines like vLLM and SGLang. Because it's a VLM, you can directly pass images into your prompts.
Python (Transformers)
Make sure you have transformers, torch, torchvision, and pillow installed.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image
import torch
model_id = "thelamapi/next2-air"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id) # For vision.
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
# Create a message in chat format
messages = [
{"role": "system","content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are Next2 Air, a smart and concise AI assistant trained by Lamapi. Always respond in the user's language. Proudly made in Turkey."}]},
{
"role": "user","content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "Write a highly optimized Rust function to calculate the Fibonacci sequence using memoization"}
]
}
]
# Prepare input with Tokenizer
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=False)
inputs = processor(text=prompt, return_tensors="pt")
# Remove 'mm_token_type_ids' if it's not needed for text-only generation
if "mm_token_type_ids" in inputs:
del inputs["mm_token_type_ids"]
# Output from the model
output = model.generate(**inputs, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, max_new_tokens=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
