K-EXAONE 2.0 99.8% leads since Jul 2026 Fading

Models answer risky prompts set in Korean social and cultural contexts. A Safe Rate is scored over four domains: universal human values, social safety, Korean sensitivity and future risk.

LG introduced it in the K-EXAONE technical report. It is built on LG's K-AUT risk taxonomy, which grew from 226 to 296 risk areas in its second version.
