Overview
K2-Horizon-0.9B is a compact reasoning model released by IFM. It is a 0.9 B-class dense decoder-only architecture trained via multi-teacher distillation on mathematics, coding, STEM and instruction-following data. The publisher describes it as suitable for tasks requiring mathematical and code reasoning within a large context.
In practice the model contains 1.1 billion parameters and accepts up to 131,072 tokens per prompt, using YaRN RoPE scaling. Weights are provided in float32 format under an Apache-2.0 licence, and the architecture has no expert layers, simplifying deployment on standard hardware.

| Layers | 28 |
| Hidden size | 1,536 |
| Attention heads | 32, 8 key/value heads |

Memory
Parameter count multiplied by the bytes each format uses. The key-value cache comes on top.
| Precision | Weights | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| bf16 | 2.0 GiB | Full precision as released |
| fp8 | 1.0 GiB | 8-bit, near-lossless on most models |
| int4 | 0.5 GiB | 4-bit, smallest footprint |
The cache costs 56 KiB per token at 16-bit, so the full 131,072-token context of one request needs about 7.0 GiB. Concurrency multiplies that number, not the weights.
Hardware
At the released precision, with 90% of the card given to the server and 2.5 GiB kept for the runtime. The context column is what is left for the cache on that setup.

| H100 80GB | 1 | 67.5 GiB | the full 131,072 tokens |
| RTX PRO 6000 96GB | 1 | 81.9 GiB | the full 131,072 tokens |

Serving
A vLLM launch line for the shape above. Check the model card for a runtime the publisher recommends.

Questions
The weights take about 2 GiB at the released precision. That fits on one RTX 4090 24GB, which leaves roughly 17 GiB for the key-value cache.
The repository declares apache-2.0. Read the licence text before commercial use: the name alone does not tell you what is allowed.
The configuration allows 131,072 tokens. Whether the whole window is usable depends on the memory left for the cache, which the hardware table works out per card.
