Research release

Model design and access

The model keeps the 24-layer architecture and Arcade100k tokenizer of its source model. The card distinguishes it from Japanese Stable LM 2 Instruct. Continued pretraining improves language coverage, while instruction behavior requires a separate adaptation stage.Japanese Stable LM 2 Base 1.6B official model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. The base is useful for Japanese domain experiments that need local control over training. Measure how its tokenizer handles the actual documents, including mixed Japanese and English text. Do not carry over the Instruct checkpoint's license merely because the two releases share a family name.
