Krono-Distill-20B

Krono-Distill-20B

Krono-Distill-20B is a derivative of openai/gpt-oss-20b, rebranded and specialized for:

• strong Italian conversational quality
• agentic workflows (tool use / function calling / multi-step planning)

This is not a from-scratch model. Weights descend from OpenAI GPT-OSS 20B (Apache-2.0).

Model details

Provenance (required)

openai/gpt-oss-20b  →  Krono-Distill-20B

Current release stage:

• L0: packaging + model card + lineage declared
• L1 (current local): chat_template default model_identity → Krono-Distill (no longer ChatGPT)
• L2+: identity/behavior baked via SFT (planned)

Identity policy

In normal chat, the model should present itself as Krono-Distill.
If asked explicitly about technical lineage, it may disclose that it is derived from gpt-oss-20b.

Usage (Transformers)

from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="MiyaMusashi/Krono-Distill-20B",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "Sei Krono-Distill, un assistente forte sull'italiano e sulle capacità agentiche.",
    },
    {"role": "user", "content": "Chi sei e cosa sai fare bene?"},
]

# Prefer the model's chat template when available.
print(pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=256)[0]["generated_text"])

Limitations

• May hallucinate facts; verify critical outputs.
• Agentic quality depends on tool schemas and runtime scaffolding.
• Italian strength improves with later SFT stages; early releases may still be close to the base.
