GraphWalker-7B is a specialized large language model fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct for Agentic Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA). GraphWalker learns to navigate knowledge graphs via synthetic trajectory curriculum — achieving strong generalization with a single, compact 7B model.

🌟 Overview

GraphWalker is an agentic framework for multi-turn Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) over Global Knowledge Graphs (e.g., Freebase). It transforms LLMs into reasoning agents that autonomously navigate massive KGs through a "Think-Query-Observe" loop, optimized via a synthetic curriculum.

🛠️ Usage

1. Environment Setup

pip install vllm transformers

2. Download the Model

bash

# Via huggingface-cli
huggingface-cli download xushuwen23/GraphWalker-7B --local-dir ./GraphWalker-7B

3. Inference with vLLM (Recommended)

Start the vLLM server:

bash

vllm serve "xushuwen23/GraphWalker-7B" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 22240 \
    --served-model-name graphwalker-7b \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
    --dtype auto \
    --chat-template "./GraphWalker-7B/chat_template.jinja"

For training and evaluation, see 💻 GitHub for details.
