  We introduce EXAONE 3.0 instruction-tuned language model, the first open
model in the family of Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by LG AI
Research. Among different model sizes, we publicly release the 7.8B
instruction-tuned model to promote open research and innovations. Through
extensive evaluations across a wide range of public and in-house benchmarks,
EXAONE 3.0 demonstrates highly competitive real-world performance with
instruction-following capability against other state-of-the-art open models of
similar size. Our comparative analysis shows that EXAONE 3.0 excels
particularly in Korean, while achieving compelling performance across general
tasks and complex reasoning. With its strong real-world effectiveness and
bilingual proficiency, we hope that EXAONE keeps contributing to advancements
in Expert AI. Our EXAONE 3.0 instruction-tuned model is available at
