Q3.5-9B-DS-v4-Flash-v2.0

Q3.5-9B-DS-v4-Flash-v2.0 is a reasoning-capable 9B-parameter language model built on top of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B. The model was trained through a multi-stage training pipeline using approximately 3K long-context DeepSeek V4 Flash reasoning traces, along with additional high-quality reasoning traces, to improve long-form reasoning, mathematical problem solving, scientific analysis, and instruction-following capabilities.

This model is an experimental release and may generate unexpected behaviors or reasoning artifacts in certain scenarios.

Key Highlights

• Qwen 3.5 Foundation: Built directly on top of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B.
• Multi-Stage Training: Trained through multiple stages to progressively improve reasoning performance.
• Long-Context Reasoning: Incorporates approximately 3K long-context DeepSeek V4 Flash reasoning traces spanning mathematics, science, coding, and complex analytical tasks.
• General Reasoning Enhancement: Further trained on additional high-quality reasoning traces to strengthen instruction following and multi-step reasoning.
• Research-Focused Release: Designed for reasoning research, experimentation, and evaluation.
• Efficient 9B Deployment: Suitable for local inference and research environments.

)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Explain how a transformer model processes text."
    }
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
