⚡ Next 2 Fast (4B)

Global Speed, Multimodal Intelligence — Engineered by Lamapi

🌍 Overview

Next 2 Fast is a state-of-the-art 4-billion parameter Multimodal Vision-Language Model (VLM) designed for high-performance reasoning across languages and modalities.

Developed by Lamapi, a leading AI research lab in Türkiye, this model represents a leap in efficiency, bridging the gap between massive commercial models and accessible, open-source intelligence. Built upon the Gemma 3 architecture and refined with our proprietary SFT and DPO techniques, Next 2 Fast is not just a language model—it is a global reasoning engine that sees, understands, and communicates fluently in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, and 25+ other languages.

Why Next 2 Fast?

⚡ Global Performance: Tuned for complex reasoning in English and multilingual contexts, outperforming larger models.
👁️ Vision & Text: Seamlessly processes images and text to generate code, descriptions, and analysis.
🚀 Unmatched Speed: Optimized for low-latency inference, making it ~2x faster than previous generations.
🔋 Efficient Deployment: Runs smoothly on consumer hardware (8GB VRAM) using 4-bit/8-bit quantization.

🏆 Benchmark Performance

Next 2 Fast delivers flagship-level performance in a compact 4B size, proving that efficiency does not require sacrificing intelligence.

🖼️ Multimodal Inference (Vision + Text):

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image
import torch

model_id = "thelamapi/next2-fast"

# Load Model & Processor
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id, 
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, 
    device_map="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Load Image
image = Image.open("image.jpg")

# Create Multimodal Prompt
messages = [
  {
    "role": "system",
    "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are Next-2, an AI assistant created by Lamapi. Provide concise and accurate analysis."}]
  },
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
        {"type": "image", "image": image},
        {"type": "text", "text": "Analyze this image and explain in English."}
    ]
  }
]

# Process & Generate
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=[image], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

💬 Text-Only Chat (Global Reasoning):

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "Lamapi/next-2-fast"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Next 2 Fast, an advanced AI assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain the concept of entropy in thermodynamics simply."}
]

prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
