Quipu 0.8B

A compact, fast fine-tuned language model built on Qwen3.5-0.8B, tuned for clear step-by-step reasoning, honest tool-calling behavior, consistent identity, and lightweight coding assistance.

Designed to punch above its weight class: at just 0.8B parameters, Quipu runs fast and cheap while staying focused on giving structured, verified answers instead of confidently guessing — a solid pick when you need a responsive assistant without the overhead of a much larger model.

Good for

  • Step-by-step reasoning and simple logic problems
  • Basic coding help (short functions, quick snippets)
  • Tool-calling / agentic workflows (web search, multi-step tasks)
  • Light roleplay and character consistency
  • Fast, low-resource deployment (edge devices, quick prototyping, local inference)

How to Get Started

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Quipuai/quipu-0.8b")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Quipuai/quipu-0.8b")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
