📢 Announcement

Note: Due to the constraints of SFT sample size and training scope, the model's broad general-purpose capabilities might be slightly impacted. The efficiency and accuracy results discussed here are based on the HumanEval and HumanEval+ benchmarks. Thank you for your understanding!

💡 Model Introduction

Qwen3.5-9B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled-v2 is the second iteration of this reasoning-focused Qwen3.5-9B fine-tune, built to drastically improve the efficiency of chain-of-thought generation, unlocking highly substantial gains in reasoning speed and cost-reduction while actually increasing absolute accuracy.

Compared with the earlier version, v2 was trained with 14,000 Claude 4.6 Opus-style general reasoning samples, with a stronger emphasis on transferring concise, reusable reasoning patterns rather than only maximizing raw benchmark scores. The goal of v2 is not simply to make the model "think more," but to help it think more economically: reducing unnecessarily long internal chains, avoiding verbose over-analysis on easy problems, and massively improving the reasoning-cost-to-quality ratio while beating the baseline's benchmark correctness.

A key design choice in v2 is that the distillation data is primarily general-domain reasoning data—specifically focused on mathematics, word problems, logical deduction, and a balanced mix of general knowledge and instructions—rather than specialized code-heavy supervision. Consequently, HumanEval and HumanEval+ are employed here to evaluate cross-task generalization and capability transfer, rather than serving as direct optimization targets. High performance on these benchmarks, despite the lack of code-centric training, confirms that the model's reasoning scaffold has become more robust and transferable, proving that fundamental reasoning logic can effectively power specialized tasks like programming.

For users who care about reasoning efficiency per unit of inference budget, v2 is exceptionally powerful—not only achieving higher peak accuracy, but doing so while consuming over 20% fewer characters and tokens.

That matters especially for:

• Resource-constrained local deployment: On consumer GPUs or lower-memory local setups, shorter and cleaner reasoning traces can reduce latency, memory pressure, and the effective cost of generation.
• Agentic workflows: In multi-step agents, the model often solves many easy or medium subtasks. In those settings, excessively elaborate chain-of-thought can become a tax on throughput. A model that reaches a better answer with fewer reasoning tokens can radically improve end-to-end agent speed and lower cumulative inference cost.
• Open-source tool use and emerging agent stacks: For users building with lightweight open reasoning systems, browser-use agents, terminal agents, or projects in the "OpenClaw / local autonomous agent" style ecosystem, a model that achieves better peak accuracy while drastically improving reasoning economy is highly practical for real-world loops.
• Simple problems at scale: One common issue with strong reasoning-tuned base models is that they sometimes produce very elaborate internal traces even for simple prompts. While that can look impressive, it is often inefficient in practice. v2 is explicitly aimed at trimming this overhead.

In short, v2 no longer forces a trade-off between absolute coding benchmark scores and reasoning economy. It provides a fully optimized deployment-ready profile: faster, shorter, more economical reasoning paired with stronger generalization and accuracy. For local users, agent builders, and cost-sensitive applications, v2 is a strict upgrade.

🧠 Example of Learned Reasoning Scaffold（Example）

The model includes targeted optimizations addressing Qwen3.5’s tendency toward excessive transitional or repetitive reasoning on simple queries. Through deep distillation and structural imitation of Claude-4.6-Opus reasoning chains, the model adopts a more efficient structured thinking pattern:
“Let me analyze this request carefully: 1..2..3...”.
This streamlined reasoning paradigm significantly reduces redundant cognitive loops while preserving deep analytical capacity, resulting in substantially improved inference efficiency.

Let me analyze this request carefully:

1. Identify the core objective of the problem.
2. Break the task into clearly defined subcomponents.
3. Evaluate constraints and edge cases.
4. Formulate a step-by-step solution plan.
5. Execute the reasoning sequentially and verify consistency.

📚 All Datasets Used

The dataset consists of high-quality, filtered reasoning distillation data:

⚠️ Limitations & Intended Use

• Hallucination Risk: While reasoning is strong, the model remains an autoregressive LLM; external facts provided during the thinking sequence may occasionally contain hallucinations if verifying real-world events.
• Intended Scenario: Best suited for offline analytical tasks, coding, math, and heavy logic-dependent prompting where the user needs to transparently follow the AI's internal logic.
• This model is a test version intended solely for learning and demonstration purposes, and is for academic research and technical exploration use only.
