Qwen3.5-9B-Opus-OpenClaw-Distilled

Qwen3.5-9B-Opus-OpenClaw-Distilled is a reasoning-first, agentically-tuned derivative of Qwen3.5-9b, built to fuse two strengths into one model identity:

• OpenClaw & CoPaw’s operational / agentic instincts
• Claude Opus-style structured reasoning distillation

The goal is simple: Use a strong base mode --> tune for agentic harness like openclaw and agentscope --> distill opus-4.6 level reasoning --> best of both worlds

TL;DR

It is designed for users who want:

• preserved chat + strong agentic usefulness from the Openclaw / CoPaw lineage
• a model that feels more “planner + operator” than just “chatbot”

Why this model exists

CoPaw-Flash-9B is already a highly interesting Qwen3.5-based model family member with explicit optimization for agentic behavior such as tool invocation, command execution, memory management, and multi-step planning. Opus builds on top of that foundation instead of starting from a plain base model. The idea is to preserve that practical “gets things done” behavior while injecting denser and more structured reasoning traces through supervised fine-tuning.

At the same time, the inspiration for the reasoning side of this model comes from recent Qwen3.5 reasoning distillations trained with Opus-derived trajectories. In particular, models like Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled emphasize <think>-structured reasoning, response-only training, and normalized reasoning/answer formatting.

Model identity

The Model is intended to sit at the intersection of:

• agentic chat utility
• structured reasoning
• practical local deployment
• Qwen3.5 ecosystem compatibility

The intended vibe is:

Qwen3.5 + OpenClaw reflexes + Opus-style reasoning scaffolds

In practice, that means the model is aimed at tasks like:

• analytical QA
• coding support
• workflow planning
• terminal / tool-oriented prompting
• multi-step decomposition
• logic-heavy conversations
• “think first, answer second” style interactions

Base model

• Base family: Qwen3.5-9b
• Immediate base: CoPaw-Flash-9B --> A fine-tune that exhibits much higher agentic capabilities in harnesses like OpenClaw and AgentScope

Training concept

This model was trained as a text-only reasoning SFT derivative focused on preserving and reinforcing the format:

<think>
...
</think>

final answer

The overall training philosophy is aligned with reasoning-distillation approaches that emphasize:

• response-only loss masking
• explicit <think> formatting
• structured step-by-step reasoning before the final answer

Datasets

The training recipe is centered on a unified reasoning dataset built from:

• Roman1111111/claude-opus-4.6-10000x
• Crownelius/Opus-4.6-Reasoning-3300x

These were normalized into a single conversational SFT dataset:

• ykarout/Opus-4.6-reasoning-sft-12k

Dataset processing highlights

The dataset was cleaned and unified so both sources follow the same final structure:

• messages-based conversational schema
• assistant output normalized into:
  • <think> ... </think>
  • followed by the final answer
• generic repeated system prompts removed where appropriate
• token-length profile measured after rendering with the target tokenizer chat template

This makes the training corpus more consistent and more directly usable in TRL / Unsloth conversational SFT pipelines.

Training recipe

High-level recipe:

• Framework: Unsloth
• Method: LoRA SFT
• Objective: improve structured reasoning while retaining CoPaw-style usefulness
• Loss behavior: train on assistant responses / completions only
• Format target: explicit <think> reasoning followed by answer
• Text-only setup: no vision-layer fine-tuning path used

What changed versus CoPaw-Flash-9B

This is not presented as a replacement for CoPaw-Flash-9B’s original design goals.

Instead, it pushes the model further toward:

• more explicit reasoning traces
• more deliberate planning language
• cleaner internal decomposition on complex tasks
• stronger “reason-then-answer” behavior

Intended use

Model is best suited for:

• Agentic harnesses like OpenClaw, Claude Code, OpenCode, AgentScope etc..
• deep analytical prompting
• code and debugging assistance
• local agent workflows
• logic / math / structured breakdown tasks

It is a particularly natural fit for prompts where you want the model to:

1. parse the task carefully
2. build a plan
3. utilize different tools
4. then produce a clean answer or action

Limitations

• This is still an autoregressive language model and can hallucinate.
• Strong reasoning style does not guarantee factual correctness.
• More visible reasoning can sometimes increase verbosity.
• Distillation can improve structure without perfectly reproducing frontier-model judgment.
• Depending on the prompt mix, some behaviors may lean more “reasoning-first” than “tool-first.”
