Athenea-4B-Coding is a fine-tuned version of huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3-4B-Thinking-2507-abliterated, specialized in code reasoning, debugging, and problem solving. Trained on high-quality programming data with explicit reasoning traces using <think> and </think> tags, the model is designed to perform detailed step-by-step reasoning for software development, algorithm design, and code comprehension tasks.

⚠️ Important Note: This model uses an abliterated (uncensored) base version, providing full expressive freedom and unrestricted output generation. Users are fully responsible for any use or content produced by the model. It is intended exclusively for research and experimentation purposes.

🎯 Model Description

Athenea-4B-Coding extends Huihui-Qwen3’s structured reasoning capabilities into programming-related domains, showing strong performance on logical problem-solving, code completion, and debugging scenarios.

Key features:

Step-by-step code reasoning within <think> blocks
Specialization in algorithmic and debugging tasks
Uncensored output generation for full reasoning visibility
Improved logical consistency through focused fine-tuning
Compatible with open inference frameworks (Transformers, vLLM, etc.)

The model was fine-tuned using the dataset Aquiles-ai/Athenea-Coding-100k, which includes diverse programming challenges, structured reasoning chains, and natural language explanations across multiple programming languages.

Note: Fine-tuning was performed using Kronos, Aquiles-ai’s proprietary enterprise fine-tuning system.

💻 Usage

Installation

uv pip install transformers torch accelerate

Basic Inference

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding",
        dtype=torch.bfloat16,
        trust_remote_code=True,
        device_map="auto",
        attn_implementation="flash_attention_2") # Requires flash-attn

# Without flash-attn:
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding",
#     dtype="auto",
#     device_map="auto"
# )

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding", trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hey, write a Python function that calculates the factorial of a number recursively."}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to('cuda')

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=8092,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )

# Decode and print the output
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Streaming Inference

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextIteratorStreamer
import torch
from threading import Thread

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding",
        dtype=torch.bfloat16,
        trust_remote_code=True,
        device_map="auto",
        attn_implementation="flash_attention_2")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding", trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hey, write a Python function that implements the binary search algorithm recursively."}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to('cuda')

# Create the streamer
streamer = TextIteratorStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)

# Build kwargs for generate
generate_kwargs = dict(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=8092,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    streamer=streamer,
)

def _generate_thread(model, kwargs):
    with torch.no_grad():
        model.generate(**kwargs)

thread = Thread(target=_generate_thread, args=(model, generate_kwargs))
thread.start()

for chunk in streamer:
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

Production Deployment with vLLM

Start server:

bash

vllm serve Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000 \
  --api-key dummyapikey \
  --max-model-len=16384 \
  --async-scheduling \
  --gpu-memory-utilization=0.90

Request to the server from the OpenAI client:

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="dummyapikey", base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1")
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Aquiles-ai/Athenea-4B-Coding",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hey, write a Python function that determines if a string is a palindrome, ignoring case, spaces, and punctuation."
    }],
    max_tokens=8092,
    stream=True
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)

vLLM Benefits: 20-30x faster inference, OpenAI-compatible API, continuous batching, async scheduling.
