Unlike Qwen3.5-9B-rednote-200K which is fine-tuned from the instruct model, this variant starts from the base model (no prior instruction tuning), making it suitable for research purposes or further fine-tuning with custom instruction formats.

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Estwld/Qwen3.5-9B-base-rednote-200K",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Estwld/Qwen3.5-9B-base-rednote-200K")

inputs = tokenizer("Your prompt here", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_new_tokens=1024)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

GPU Memory Requirements

Inference (bf16): ~18 GB VRAM (single GPU)
Fine-tuning (full): ~80+ GB VRAM per GPU (with full parameters, optimizer states, and activations at 200K context)

Limitations

This is a research checkpoint at iteration 309. Further training steps may improve performance.
Fine-tuned from the base model, so it lacks built-in instruction-following behavior. Consider applying chat templates or further instruction tuning for conversational use.
