BigBang-V1
Introduction
As Large Language Models (LLMs) approach human expert performance, their continued development is increasingly constrained by training tasks conceived within the limits of human knowledge. We argue that open-ended capability growth requires verifiable frontier tasks: problems at the boundary of current knowledge whose solutions can be objectively evaluated through formal methods, computation, simulation, or domain-specific tools. To this end, we introduce BigBang, a general-purpose LLM evolved from Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B through efficient post-training with an adversarial, self-evolving synthetic data framework. The framework contains two core components: (1) generator agents that continually propose and solve increasingly challenging scientific and technical problems, and (2) critic agents that evaluate correctness, difficulty, scalability, and diversity, while using held-out real research tasks to calibrate the evolving synthetic-data distribution. Through iterative generator–critic interaction, the framework constructs approximately 10,000 high-difficulty post-training examples across multiple domains. Despite the modest data scale, BigBang substantially outperforms its base model across scientific research, reasoning, coding, and tool-use benchmarks, achieving aggregate performance between DeepSeek V4 Flash (284B) and DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.6T). These results demonstrate that self-evolving synthesis of verifiable frontier tasks provides a promising path toward scalable and open-ended intelligence.

Quickstart
For streamlined integration, we recommend using BigBang-V1 via APIs. Below is a guide to use BigBang-V1 via OpenAI-compatible API.
Serving BigBang-V1
BigBang-V1 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks.
In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for BigBang-V1 models.
[!Important]
Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks.
We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.
[!Important]
The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens.
If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window.
However, because BigBang-V1 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities.
SGLang
SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
sglang>=0.5.10 is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:
Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs.
vllm>=0.19.0 is recommended for BigBang-V1, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:
Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
KTransformers is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing.
For running BigBang-V1 with KTransformers, see the KTransformers Deployment Guide.
Hugging Face Transformers
Hugging Face Transformers contains a lightweight server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment.
The latest transformers is required for BigBang-V1:
pip install "transformers[serving]"
See its documentation for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.
Then, run transformers serve to launch a server with API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1; it will place the model on accelerators if available:
